Hello,
this big update brings a lot of new features and items to Zombie Watch. A lot of you have been asking for a new movement type for the character and we have delivered. This update brings you a new option of controlling your character and we have a feeling you will like it.
We added a whole new biome, the swamp area, with its 2 new unique creatures and vegetation and also a bunch of new special places for you to explore. There are over 50 new items added to the game, including 5 new buildings for decoration purposes, new NPC controlled buildings like the survivor station for managing survivors, the guard tower and buildable carriage for fast travel. All of the buildings can now be rotated at 8 angles and not only 4 as it was before when placing them. In the survivor's station, you can manage survivors and have to take care of their food supply for them to do certain jobs for you, like arrow shooting in the new guard tower. You can hire survivors in any of the shops.
The Zombie Watch map now includes town names for better orientation.
A cool new feature in Zombie Watch is the option of planting your own seeds and growing vegetables. You can buy seeds in the Harvesters shop and start your own little garden.
There are also a lot of improvements, optimization and all the bugfixes which make the game run smoothly.
