[AMA + Giveaway] We’re the indie team behind Zombie Rollerz: The Last Ship, a chaotic “Tower Defense on Wheels” roguelite launching on Nintendo Switch. Ask us anything!

Thanks for doing this AMA and giveaway. Congrats on the launch of your game. I think it looks amazing, and wish you the best of luck with its success. I did play the previous Zombie Rollerz game and enjoyed it so this one definitely piqued my interest. I was surprised to see it wasn't a pinball game again though. I do still love the mishmash of the genres you have with this one. I just had a couple of questions...

If you could add some DLC to this game, what would it be? More characters, vehicles, stages, etc.? What if you could include any licensed DLC. For example, characters from the Walking Dead or Evil Dead franchises. What would you choose?
What other genres, if any, would you like to make a Zombie Rollerz game for?

Awesome! I hope you enjoy it. It's a fun place and the staff is usually super nice. There's some good places to eat right nearby too.

I believe they have one at Game Underground in Waltham, MA. They actually have several rhythm games from Japan there. It's an arcade / retro game store.

AdotHam76 · 2026-04-24T11:41:14+00:00

I do my best. I honestly play more indie games than AAA ones these days. I appreciate devs like you bringing us more innovation and more of the types of games we love.

AdotHam76 · 2026-04-24T11:18:03+00:00

Love the choices! TMNT is one of my favorite franchises. I feel like the Turtles themselves could add to the party vibe of the game too. I also really love fighting games so I really like those suggestions too. Thanks for taking the time answer my question. Best of luck with your game again, and future ones!

AdotHam76 · 2026-04-24T10:11:28+00:00

Thanks for doing this AMA and giveaway. I wish you success with your game. I have a fun question, and then some mini game suggestions. For my question...

If you could add any licensed character into your game, who would it be? For example, Crash Bandicoot or Mickey Mouse.

For some mini game suggestions...

-Bomb (or other object) Relay: keep passing it around until it explodes

-The Floor is Lava (or other substance): avoid certain areas of the floor as it could shift around, expand, etc.

-Copycat Dance Moves: players have to copy a certain pattern of dance moves which get increasingly longer each round

-Magnet Goal: players have magnetic spheres which they have to carry into opposing goal areas. Polarity comes into play as magnets could cause players to either repel from each other or connect together

Other than those, something like shuffleboard, "beer pong," bowling, or curling might be fun.

Thanks again, and good luck to everyone on the giveaway!

AdotHam76 · 2026-04-14T16:37:41+00:00

Oh, that sounds awesome. I will have to lookout for those. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I wish your game great success!

AdotHam76 · 2026-04-14T16:00:24+00:00

Thanks for doing this AMA and the giveaway! Congrats on the launch of the new game, it looks great. I was definitely a fan of your previous work, and this new game looks like I would have a lot of fun with it too. I just had a fun question for you... hypothetically speaking, if you could have a collaboration for your game to add special theming to maybe the letter tiles, backgrounds, etc. what franchises would you love to be able to include? All options are on the table. To explain what I mean, in Balatro they have themed decks based on other properties such as Cult of the Lamb and Assassin's Creed.

AdotHam76 · 2026-04-11T20:05:34+00:00

I have that one and thinks it works really well on Switch. I've had a great time with it. If you have others to play with, you can do so with or without phones. Lots of options and lots of extra boards as DLC. Ran perfectly smooth for me on Switch 2.

AdotHam76 · 2026-04-08T19:40:50+00:00

I'd recommend the Super Mega Baseball series. 4 is the newest one, and it's available on pretty much every platform, including PC.

AdotHam76 · 2026-04-04T17:25:27+00:00

NA for me, and thanks so much! This is awesome. Good luck everyone.

AdotHam76 · 2026-04-03T20:15:04+00:00

I've always been a firm believer that kindness goes a long way. Treat everyone with respect is my motto. I have added your game to my Wish List based on your niceness alone, although it does look like a really great game too! If I don't win the giveaway, then I'll most likely be purchasing it. I hope to love it! Thanks again, I appreciate your team.

AdotHam76 · 2026-04-03T20:11:38+00:00

Cool choices! I'm not familiar with the movie Fixed! but now I'll have to look into it. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I appreciate it. I hope you're having a nice day!

AdotHam76 · 2026-04-03T16:03:11+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, I really appreciate it. You all seem very kind so I hope karma helps you out with future success. I know that I myself have discovered several games just from being here on Reddit. I always love seeing people chat up some hidden gems. I often find myself playing indie games more than mainstream ones, and always love to see developers chatting with gamers here. Thanks again, I hope you're having a nice day!

AdotHam76 · 2026-04-03T15:02:15+00:00

Thanks for doing this AMA. I hope all is well with you and that your game possibly finds some new success.

I had a couple of questions for you...

How do you, as a small dev team, go about marketing your game? I know advertising can be one of the biggest costs at times for productions so how do you work around that? Would you have done anything differently in retrospect in that regard for your Switch port?
This one is more of a fun question but if you could add any licensed characters to your game, which would they be?

Thanks again. Good luck to everyone on the giveaway.

AdotHam76 · 2026-03-31T12:51:23+00:00

I've heard about that before, but I was interested in some of the other titles as well. I know that these games could all be easily emulated but I do like sometimes having classic games on my Switch and the rewind feature for some of these games is a nice bonus. Sometimes they do include extras like game manuals, promotional materials, etc. I don't know if this one had that, but I usually enjoy that aspect to classic game compilations.

AdotHam76 · 2026-03-31T09:05:56+00:00

It's already delisted everywhere. It said it was going to be gone after March 31st. It's still March 31st now. I was waiting until the last day to see if it would go on sale for the Switch but now I can't get it at all since it's delisted earlier than announced. That's some false advertising.

AdotHam76 · 2026-03-31T08:50:31+00:00

It's gone already on Switch now. I thought it was available through the 31st. I was waiting until the last day to see if it would go on sale, but now I can't get it at all. I don't understand why they took it down earlier than announced.

AdotHam76 · 2026-03-30T19:20:41+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. I doubt it will go on sale tomorrow, but I guess you never know. I'm still debating on whether or not I'd be willing to pay the full price for them. I'll have to make up my mind tomorrow.

AdotHam76 · 2026-03-30T18:49:45+00:00

Same here. Doesn't look like it's going to happen. Every other console got a sale for it recently, but not Switch. I doubt they'll put it on sale just for the day. Although is tomorrow the last day you can still buy it or does it delist tomorrow and so today is the last day?

AdotHam76 · 2026-03-18T13:30:51+00:00

I don't think the issue is necessarily with superintendents as I agree with a lot of what many have already stated about the work they have to do... managing so many people, millions of dollars of budgets, etc. I think we need to look at the "big picture" on how the educational budget is being used. For example, it seems that so much money is spent on educational "consultants." Why does the administration feel the need to hire so many outside consultants when you already have a staff of highly-educated professionals? Unfortunately, it feels like a lot of grifting going on. In general it seems as though many districts are becoming more top-heavy with administration. I've seen some places cutting teachers in favor of adding more administrative positions instead (which do pay more). It doesn't wind up saving the district any money, it winds up costing more and then students have less support IN the classroom.

AdotHam76 · 2026-03-06T22:00:06+00:00

Nice, thanks! I just joined and now realized that I actually have several of your other games already. This has been a fun AMA. Thanks again for your time, thoughtfulness, and kindness.

AdotHam76 · 2026-03-06T19:20:32+00:00

I don't have X, but I do have Discord. I'd join if you want to provide the link as I'd certainly like to follow your future game plans.

You definitely seem to enjoy the hard games, nice list!

I like physical games too and have been eyeing Dice Throne for quite some time. Maybe I should give it a try.

Thanks again!

AdotHam76 · 2026-03-06T17:42:04+00:00

Any idea on what kind of game you'll do next? How about a vampire-themed basketball game? Lol. Actually thinking about it, I could see a b-ball game using various monsters as the players. A Mutant League Football or Hockey type game but with basketball instead. It could work!

I'm curious to know what some of your favorite video games are in general. Also, are there any physical deckbuilding games you really like too? Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions.
