ShredDead Mechanic Notes: The No-Fail Zombie Idle Loop
No fail state means the fun lives in pace — upgrade cost math and probability tools are the right supporting layer.
ShredDead validates an underused combination: zombie theme plus a no-pressure idle loop. These are editorial mechanic test notes — verify current values in-game.
Why no-fail works here
- Failure pressure is replaced by pacing pressure — when to upgrade vs save.
- The zombie theme adds flavor without adding punishment.
- Permanent growth keeps sessions short and returns easy.

Replicable prototype
