This game was submitted to the mini Ludum Dare #35! This means that it was created in under 48 hours!

Woo! Thanks for the front page Tom!!
And thanks Prodevus for telling me!

You are the zombie in this human apocalypse arcade game (Interesting twist, huh?)
The goal is to survive for as long as you can while humans try to capture you!

Disclaimer - you can not infect other zombies, sorry! I hadn't thought of that until you guys told me. I will work to create an altered game-mode version in the future :)

- There's achievements for you to get! GET THEM!
- Try and get your name at the top of the scoreboard (see below).

It's an infinite world with the following features:
- There are bricks that you can break by shooting at them. The humans can break through blocks also!
- There is TNT which you can blow up (But be careful if you're too close!).
- There is water which slows you down.
- There are health power-ups that restore 1/10 of your health.
- There is Notch's Minecraft head! It only has a .0075% chance to spawn. It's just for fun.

TIMELAPSE!

Now that I've actually had a good chance to play it, I've found that having a strategy is the best way to survive. My strategy is to go back and forth in an area right from the start, breaking all of the blocks and shooting anything that's in my way. Once the humans come and start breaking the blocks, I'll have more room to move around! Using your enemies to work for you! How cool!? Also, using that method, it's easier to find hearts.

UPDATED:
- Score save properly again
- Reset highs scores because of weird numbers (Sorry!)
- Added pause
- Updated instructions
- Added energy boost

You said to another user:

"not for everyone I suppose!"

I hope you understand this is essentially gaslighting. What the user said was objectively correct. Not a matter of taste.

Funny and engaging

Zanzlanz responds:

Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing :)

I dig the music. It's the perfect beat for a nerd rap.... No, I don't know how to rap, otherwise I'd write something clever.

Zanzlanz responds:

I recently ported this game to HTML5, and I had the music stuck in my head for days during the process. I'm glad you like the beat!

I don't rap either, but I'm sure if you start with "I'm a zombie, and I'm here to say:" the possibilities will just start flowing haha

pretty good, The voices get annoying and they respawn way too quickly
"Zombies!"
"I'm going to get you zombie!"
One time I even got this due to the humans colliding with their sentences
"I'm going zombie get you zombie!"
Hey atleast it's not as bad as the original battlefront 2 notifications about command posts.
"We've captured A command post!"
"We've lost A command post! take it back!"
"We cannot afford to keep losing command posts!"
Overall:3.5 stars. Great work.

Zanzlanz responds:

Haha and I took my already high-pitched teen voice and pitched it up more XD I'm more bothered by the super loud shooting sound personally.
Thanks for playing though!

I played zanzlanz games before, there awsome

Zanzlanz responds:

c: Hey, thanks! Happy to hear you liked them!

Also, welcome to Newgrounds!
