Easy fix, (I'm using a bionic so this may be a bit different for your phone) go into settings, applications, manage apps, clear the cache for the game. Reload game and create new user. Your old name will be stuck in limbo on the map.

Yes, hovering over my house, I need him to die

Inactive users/unused accounts will be cleared from the map in the next version ... and you wont be able to throw your account away, it will be tied to your google account on the device, so no more identifiers!

Here's a link to the first build of the new version. dl.dropbox.com/u/27310883/oza_pre.apk

I realise it's a little rough. But I want to get it out early to get rid of any big problems certain devices might have. UI will have a lot more work done, and some features still to come.

I would appreciate any feedback that people have.

subway

Installed earlier, no range indicator so far

Not showing any other users worldwide.
Think it used to show closest users?
Tap and hold for users doesn't seem to work

Star Lord

Got the new version, trying it now!

Press Menu, then "Scan Surroundings" shows 'hospitals', 'Update Map' shows other people/zombies.

subway

Please do share it out, the more users the better. I have a new hosting set-up so I need to see how it handles mutliple active users. The more action that it sees between now and next week, the more stable I can make the release version.

In the new version a zombie can be killed. If you are killed you will be reset as a survivor.

What am I supposed to do exactly?

I can see a map, obviously zombies and survivor symbols on the map.
Now what though?

As a survivor you must try to survive. As a zombie you should be trying to infect survivors. The game uses your actual location, so if you are a zombie and want to attack a survivor you must physically go to their location on the map and hit the attack button.

Survivors can interact with hospitals, and shops. They can also build safe houses using supplies collected from shops. Zombies increase their health by infecting survivors.

Do shops and hospitals show up with any icon? I'm bedside both atm, but dunno how to use em

Oh I see them now in the beta. After installing it you get errors saying contact support until you reset the app. The two apps appear to have a separate db? Will levels be reset for this new one?

Try the new build, delete current one. You should be able to test account migration. you just need your identifier
