One day after adding them, indie co-op game Peak is nerfing its new zombie enemies: “We did playtest the zombies. I guess the playtesters were just too good”
After adding zombies in its latest biome update, the Peak developers have bowed to pressure and nerfed the undead in a new hotfix one day later.
Yesterday, Peak’s developers announced “The Roots update” which introduced a brand new biome into the game, Roots. This biome is a redwood forest filled with mushrooms and spooky bugs. But it introduced something even scarier, the zombies of campers who didn’t make it to the top of the peak. However, within a day of the patch appearing, the zombies have been deemed too spooky, or rather, too strong, and the devs have had to take action.

The devs continue: “But to those being mean to me, yes, we did playtest the zombies. I guess the playtesters were just too good at the game ;)”
Meanwhile, the admin of the Landfall account also reacts to some feedback on the zombies, sharing a clip of them encountering one for the first time, and saying: “I FORGOT HOW TO CLIMB !!! IN OUR CLIMBING GAME !!!” The clip itself features a ton of expletives and shows the admin struggling with the sudden appearance.
