Hello Nick, You know, just yesterday, I downloaded the game. And like you did, I found it rather addicting! Anyway, I found that navigation in Swamp can be quite a challenge. Especially when trying to kill a zombie! It gets really frustrating when you think that the zombie is centered in your stereo field, only to miss your target when you shoot repetatively. I guess that adds on to the challenge of finding quest items and basic navigation. My recommendation is to listen and pay attention to the zombie's footsteps. For example, let's say that your in the parking lot of a building. Your footsteps in that parking lot will obviously sound different from your footsteps in the street or traveling down the road. Therefore, if you hear a zombie's footsteps sound different from yours, you'll know that the zombie is not close enough for you to shoot at. That, of course, will depend on what kind of weapon you are utilizing as well! Some weapons will be able to shoot at long distances. But if your a beginner player, the gun that you start off with will not shoot at a very long distance. That's just an example of how you can distinguish whether a zombie is close enough. Otherwise, you will have to run toward the zombie, obviously positioning it in the center of your stereo field. If your using a TrackPad, simply swipe your finger according to the zombie's position. So if you hear a zombie on your right, swipe your finger to the right until you hear the zombie positioned in the center as much as possible. This is a 3d game, so it will be a bit challenging to distinguish whether the zombie is directly behind you or in front of you. You just have to listen really carefully. Hope this helps.
