Late game tip (4th - 5th barricade and on). While dodging the cars coming from behind, follow their rear as they drive past you, they will destroy any oncoming traffic/walls/landmines. This tactic is strongest when you have the bolt zombie boost because it's too fast for you to react to any oncoming obstacles.
Also as many people said, for late game, the most important part is collecting the speed boosts in the earlier barriers. Catching the chests for the Second Wind buff (revives you for free) is a gamble, I've only seen it several times in 6-8 hours playtime.
you have no idea how much that game inspired me lol. played it 10 years ago when I was a kid. now I'm 23, finishing art school, being a graphic designer just like I'd wished back then. your game was one of the games that inspired me to continue practising art, just wanted to tell you this. the visual and musical synergy of the game is heavenly. everything fits perfectly. I'm not sure if those worlds are real, or if you designed them, but they're one heck of a spectacle. thanks again man, I hope you're still doing some creative work. your website's dead, maybe there's some other one that you have your stuff on. or a blog or something.
Awesome game, but for some reason after hours of gameplay my save got deleted. I died, and clicked "quit". When I tried continuing, for some reason I was asked if I wanted to erase the current data. I pressed No. Still, my save got deleted for no apparent reason. Is there any way to regain my save or is it lost forever? This is incredibly frustrating.
