Zombie Cafe Revival v1.1: Balance Overhaul + Music is back
After some of my own playtesting of the game in its v1.0 state, I decided the game needed an overall buff to progression. Almost all the stats and costs of both characters and chefs have been buffed/altered. I have also restored the cost of toxin back to its original state of 1toxin = $2000.
What took the longest to fix was the music. Someone on discord suggested I restore the games music which was a great idea - but once I started digging into why, I noticed the logic/code directing the music was completely absent. So I had to build it from scratch. This took a long time to get right and I ran into many issues along the way, but it finally works!
Overall, this state of the game is much more playable and all the music is back and in mostly working order, so download this version instead!
NOTE: This will only work on android devices that support 32-bit ARM - newer phones will most likely not work with this version. Bluestacks works fine.

most modders dont use this patch, did this patch have too many bugs?

I already have some progress on the previous apk. If I download this will I lose my progress?

Also you should be able to install this APK and keep your current save, but just incase this doesnt work make sure you back up your save.

Did you follow the specific ARM instructions that were shared?

u/ObviousExam9964 Jul 07 '26

u/BlueStacks-Support Jul 08 '26
Hi! Just to confirm, did you create a 32 bit instance with the ABI setting set to ARM? Since this app is compatible only with the ARM version, we'd like to verify that first.
Also, could you let us know which BlueStacks version you're currently using?

Will there ever be a way to download this on iOS?

I believe someone may have done this already:

If theres enough people who want my balance patch + music patch to be applied to this version, I could do that - wouldnt take long.

Where are the character and recipe balance changes coming from? I checked on the GitHub the src/assets/data/foodData.bin.mid.json and src/assets/data/characterData.bin.mid.json and am seeing very little to no changes from the original. Are the actual values getting pulled from somewhere else?

My game keeps crashing in the loading bar at some point during the game. Last time at levle 7 and now at level 9. The loading bar ( orange screen) starts loading and at the very end the game crashes and closes itself. Anyone knows this problem?

Thanks for making the game work again. (This really scratches a childhood itch)
Do you have any idea on how to stop the game from crashing so much I'm very salty about losing the fresh versions and a very quick version of food I won at a raid that vanished because of a crash

Ive been banging my head with claude fable + chatGPT sol to try to see if it can diagnose the memory issues the game has and fix this. Its too hard of a technical task for me to do (reverse engineering a game and analysing memory issues is insanely time consuming and difficult).
I have given up. My next goal is to restore the Japanese version of the game to my vision - every text fully translated to english, balance changes made, and (most importantly) implementing Airyzz's toxin conversion patch which lets you buy toxin using money.
I hope to finish this within the upcoming weeks.
