If you enjoyed the game please recommend it for Halloween '08.

Don't forget to open the game in a popup window instead of just hitting play game!

UPDATE 3: MASSIVE speed increase!!! The game's way more fun now :D

UPDATE 2: Added more customization (including pico's hair and sweater). Made some quality buttons at the options screen. Made a way better dying animation for the normal people (try it out, it's awsome :D).

UPDATE 1: Added some blood to the zombie animations, made some adjustments to the customization (more to come soon, prob. incl. pico's hair :D). Made the zombie's a tad slower. You can shoot zombies even when they're right on top of you. The zombies run less cranky now.

Welcome to City of the Lost,
This is my very first completed game in flash :D

Post your total score in your comments!

The purpose of this game is to survive and kill as many zombies as possible. In the beginning there will only be normal people running around. You can kill these people if u want, 'cause they will change into zombies sooner or later, but this will cost you points. As soon as a person transforms into a zombie, he'll start to chase you, as you'll be the last person that isn't infected. More details on the game can be found in the in-game tutorial.

A few things about the game:
-USE THE ESDF KEYS, without them you wont be able to walk backwards
-why ESDF and not WASD? because I have an AZERTY keyboard, and ESDF can be used with both keyboards.
-You can change the difficulty of the game by altering "infection frequency" and "zombie life" in the
options screen.
-The game was completed in 3 months and started because I was reeeeaaaallly bored
-95% of the games code was done entirely without tutorials
-Updates will come as I didn't get to make everything the way I wanted it, BTW suggestions for future versions are always appreciated

A few things about me:
-My name's Rian Goossens, i'm 15 and I live in Belgium
-I started working with flash when I was 11

That's it, I hope you'll enjoy my little game :D

"Too hard... WAY TOO HARD"

by: Crow54

plain and simple, its just too hard.

1. the zombies spawn too quickly
2. it takes almost 10 bullets from the pistol to kill one, when it should be like 3 or 4
3. they are to fast! by the time i had a shotgun, I WAS DEAD cuz of it.

i liked the idea, but the difficulty made it go down-hill. nice try though, cuz u cant please everybody.

Ok, but, the zombies don't spawn at all, they are created at random by transforming people, if you adjust the infection frequency you can make them change slower, and if you adjust zombie life to 1 it only takes one bullet to kill one zombie. And yes I admit they're a little fast, but that's so it won't get boring (my beta testers told me this was the best speed). Ow and the shotgun is unlocked at random, and if you complete the game without using it, you get more points.

"wtf"

date: February 22, 2009

wtf is with the controls? i can't shoot i can't move right the zombies are fucking to fast i can't even take out my gun this is soo unorganized....

Author's Response:

what's your problem, it's not my fault YOU suck at my game. I made several people beta test the controls before releasing it. Using ESDF in combination with the arrow keys to move and aim is the best way to do it without using a mouse. It's also a button set that can be used by both AZERTY and QWERTY users. If you can't shoot, that just means you're a mental retard who can't press CONTROL to select a gun and SPACE to shoot, which by the way is one off the most common control sets used on newgrounds. It took at most five minutes to learn the controls for every single beta tester... and one of them was 8. You might actually be younger than 8, that might explain why you post such a braindead review... now don't get my wrong, I don't care you gave me a zero, I just think that you might have reviewed a little more polite.

"Meh"

date: January 1, 2009

Considering this is your first game made, this was pretty decent. You have potential, I'm hoping you make your next zombie game a big more easier, and kinda scarier and realistic.

7/10
