new improvements in control and hud
Hello brain-eating, John the zombie is bringing some minor updates and improvements in control and Hud. We're also getting a promotional price, so more brains eaters can test this crazy game!
Welcome to Johnwood, a weird and mysterious place where scientists become zombies by accident, hardware stores sell frozen brains, people are hit by cars with no apparent reason and every citizen claims to have seen horses flying! Play as John in his misadventures and try the less realistic zombie simulator of all time in a city with no law (of society or physics) where the cops ignore zombies and people go through walls. Oh, no. That last one is already fixed.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.
