Deadly 30 is a retro-style survival horror game developed by the two-man indie team of Gonzossm and Iggy Zuk.
Survive 30 days and nights in a zombie-infested world where you can recruit companions, upgrade weaponry, and fortify your position to fight waves of hungry zombies. During the day, you can gather resources, enhance your base's defenses, and explore your surroundings for useful items in order to prepare for fighting relentless waves of zombie attacks. (Hint: Don't get caught outside your base after dark.)
Three different playable characters, A.I. controlled Team Combat and upgradeable weaponry and defenses help keep you alive as you attempt to eradicate the zombie hordes and survive 30 deadly nights.
Good luck! (You'll need it when all hell breaks loose.)
Features
It's another game that came in as part of Steam's greenlight process so blame the users on this one!

I have it on Desura, and it will not even start properly. It is a Flash game wrapped in some sort of embedded-Firefox-binary container. Total junk.
They said that they will provide Steam keys to everyone who already owns the game, but have not done so yet, so I cannot comment on the Steam version.

Did you hit a Desura specific issue, or did you just buy a bad game?
Because if it is the later, well, Deadly 30 is on Steam now...

I cannot judge the game, because it never worked for me. I just get an empty window with no buttons or anything (seems to be an old version of Firefox judging from console output), and if I right-click it, it says Flash player. It is distributed as a single binary file that embeds all the stuff mentioned above in a way that make any sort of troubleshooting near impossible, and a shell script that seems to be autogenerated by Desura.
Sure, I guess it works on some machines that happen to have the unknown combination of libraries needed by their binary mish-mash. Might even be a good game. But I guess I will never know.
As for Desura itself, I have experienced that a lot of games ship in some broken state. Like launch shell script pointing to non-existing binaries, for example. Sure, most are easy to fix, but what bothers me most is that you should be able to see these problems if you have tried to start the game just once. There does not seem to be any sort of quality control whatsoever.
The Desura client has not improved much since I tried it for the first time. I guess they expected the community to do all the work and they could just ride on it. Well, maybe it would work if it was not such a mess that it discourages all but the most dedicated programmers to touch it.
I really wanted to like Desura. It should have been the DRM-free game distribution system we so badly want. But it does not seem to be going anywhere. Even Humble Bundle does not distribute Desura keys anymore.
So what I was trying to say... yeah, I will try the Steam version as soon as I get the key.

Desura does desperately need more hands working on it, something that the Linden Lab acquisition seems to be helping with. Desurium has also been getting better over time, and again Linden Lab seem dedicated to making it even better, and making some of these fixes more visible to regular Desura users.
That being said, a lot of your problems can also be blamed on Desura's more inclusive culture, which can be both a blessing and a curse. While it means that a lot of smaller developers can get out the door without all of the hassles that Steam and other distributors put them through, it does increase the possibility for errors as far as quality control is concerned. Still, this is only a real issue if Desura's refund policy is inadequate as far as I am concerned, something which I have never had to test as I have never demanded a refund as of yet.
Still, there is progress, and Desura has actually grown a lot over the past year. I still feel it is much too early to call them out as you have done, but to each there own.

I know I have this game. I haven't played it much yet. I picked it up on sale sometime. I think it must have been from Gameolith. I know that it works fine for me now. I do remember at one time or another having the empty Flash window issue, but I'm not sure if it was with this game or when I installed another one before this.
