## Review summary

Overall, players like Infection for its simple zombie concept, easy pick-up-and-play, and retro visuals, with many calling it a fun, addictive time-waster and appreciating the zombie twist. However, recurring complaints focus on technical bugs (crashes, loading issues), progression problems (impossible levels, repeated levels, early level caps), and performance concerns (clunky controls, basic/dated graphics). A few reviewers also feel it’s generic or short-lived. The game shines in concept and fun factor but needs stability and polish to sustain long-term play.

### Pros

- Fun and engaging zombie-themed gameplay
- Positive visuals with retro animations
- Enjoyable quick-play / time-waster

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and startup/loading issues
- Level progression bugs and impossible/looping levels (e.g., level 3, stage 6 continue bug, level cap)
- Clunky controls and subpar/dated graphics
- Repetitive or shallow gameplay leading to boredom after a few levels
- Some reviewers feel the game is generic or not very original
