Evaluation
Zombie Island is a free-to-play game developed solo by a student, released on January 1, 2020. The developer shipped several bug fix patches in the first few days after launch and posted one announcement on January 20, 2020 teasing an upcoming tutorial level. That tutorial announcement is the last developer communication on record. Given that this was a solo passion project made during school, the store description frames the game as a self-contained experience with a fixed set of levels (7 main, 3 endless, 1 secret), and the mention of future plans ("in the future, I might open it up...") is casual and speculative rather than a firm commitment. The tutorial teased in January 2020 was a small, scoped addition consistent with early polish work. With no further developer posts since January 20, 2020, no unreleased DLC listed, and no roadmap or announced content beyond that early-launch period, the game reads as a finished, self-contained product. The developer has not communicated any ongoing development since early 2020.
Evidence
Developer announced a tutorial level was incoming, to be added in the upcoming days. This is the last developer communication on record.
Store description frames the game as a complete, self-contained experience with a fixed set of levels. Future content mentions are casual and speculative ('in the future, I might...').

About this game
Thank you for looking at Zombie Island!!
What is in this game:
7 main levels
3 endless levels
1 super secret level.. SHHH
Why I made this game:
I made this game in my free time from school. I started this game back in early 2018 but had to push the game into New Years'. I wanted to have a game where there is no goal but to slay some zombies on some islands and to find some easter eggs. I wanted to not make another zombie game but to have secrets for you to find. The game is free so why not try it out?
What this game expresses:
Zombie Island tries to express relaxation and to defeat all the zombies to clear the islands. There are other modes as well which are hidden for you to find out. In the future, I might open it up for people to play the full game without finding these hidden easter eggs. Have fun and thanks for the slaying.
Content:
The content in Zombie Island includes an open island where zombies roam. There is no story but there IS a level where you can find out where they came from. Enjoy your stay and look at the beautiful islands. Never know what you might click on or come across.
Overview of the game:
Take a walk through zombie-infested islands where you are tasked to clean the island from zombies. Or take some time and storm.... or face some deadly... Nevermind... I can't talk about it.. you should find out yourself.. Happy slaying..
