That's strange, I just updated it to make it public.

This is a very nice game. I think the concept sales it.

CodeMonkey

I'm hoping there are more games similar to this. The whole A through Y set.

Thanks!

I've just uploaded a new build. 1.0 of my game is currently under review, so I'm not resubmitting it yet, but this is the beta of the 1.1 release. I've added death animations to all of the zombies, still got to do the boss deaths though.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Next step is to double the length of each level.

jonmulcahy

oh, and he no longer 'moonwalks' when moving backwards

Level 1 boss now explodes, and a few bug fixes I introduced with making the zombie players explode

jonmulcahy

ok, just uploaded a build with all three bosses with an animated death.

I'm making a player animated death next.

do work dude!

jonmulcahy

uploaded another build with a few bug fixes, mostly to turn off god mode

Just uploaded a new build. Now every so often you will get a real person running away from the zombies. If you kill them, you lose 500 points!

jonmulcahy

new build uploaded:
- Fixed friendly spawn rate
- updated death animations on 3 zombie types
- updated running animation on 4 zombie types
- adjusted scoring

jonmulcahy

Just uploaded a massive update. The game is now 2x longer, each stage has 2 levels, with the boss appearing at the end of the 2nd. I've also tweaked some animations and scoring. This is going to be version 1.1 coming to the iphone as soon as 1.0 is approved.

Have at it!

Oh! Am I not supposed to shoot the pink guys? I guess they're humans. That's why I keep losing when I shoot them :P

jonmulcahy

I forgot about them Yes, there are good guys running away from the zombies now. They run towards you. You can kill them, but it will cost you 500 points.

If your heath or score reaches 0 you die. Killing good guys cost you 500 points, and letting zombies get past you cost you points, between 100-200, depending on what the zombies are worth when you kill them.
