Zombie Pile

Posted by Siert on Nov. 3, 2008, 10:12 p.m.

So if any of you have been wondering if my Halloween competition entry has been accepted, it has.

Thanks for your entry, better late than never! :)
Although it is not done yet, it should be by Sunday. So celebrate!

It's also currently being processed in the queue as we speak. But I'm impatient, and am going to tell now!

It's named Zombie Pile. The name originates from the term monkey pile, but the actual game is more like king-of-the-hill-to-the-death. See, the zombies come after you and you kill them with your trusty pistol.

How do you score? Maximum Height times the number of Kills. Have fun!

Wow, I really like the looks of this game. Cool original idea, the gameplay looks extremely fun. This may have my vote.

<Edit>

Just played it…I loved it. AWESOME concept, and the gameplay is addictive. (might wanna fix the space bar though…makes you jump REALLY high :p )

I got an unexpected error right after it loaded.

It looks like a very original game though.

I'm running an older computer; windows 2000, so some problems might be related to this.

Are you using many/large temporary sprites or surfaces?

Thanks TDOT, spacebar was used by me to test something, I just forgot to remove it. Other beta controls are right and left clicking.

I don't know what's wrong Player. I use one temporary sprite and zero surfaces. I do use GMPhysics gex though, that might be it.

Looks like Body Ladder. Awesome game.

Small suggestion? I found it quite fun shooting heads until they rocketed towards another zombie. But they just seem to phase through the zombies. Any chance I could see zombies getting knocked back by flying heads? :P

Beat that. Seriously.

lol, nice, you discovered clicking!

Two questions for your godliness:

1) Did it lag with 800 heads?

2) Was the room height high enough?

Also, I'll take the liberty of entering your score into the online highscore table when its up.

does it use any DLLs?
