Description
Old school platforming...with a twist.
It's another zombie game....except this time YOU are the zombie...and instead of trying to stay alive....you're trying to stay dead! Jump, flip, throw, and avoid health powerups as you try to (not) save your neck.
History
Who doesn't love sprites, pixels, 2D platformers, and Mario?
I remember ruining my family vacation to Canada because after we bought Mario Bros. 3 at Edmonton Mall, I wanted to do nothing but get back home to play it. The first time I saw images of the pre-rendered characters and scenery in Donkey Kong Country, I knew it was going to be one of my favorite games. And I still think Yoshi's Island is one of the greatest experiences ever.
So now that I build video games, I thought I'd try to pay homage to those and other great classics by creating a colorful, sprite-based 2D platformer....with a twist: You're a zombie actually trying to stay DEAD
Features
- 8 worlds of challenging platforming action.
- Over a half-dozen types of jumps that will help get you through all types of platforming situations.
- Reverse gameplay: instead of trying to survive, you're a zombie trying to stay dead! Jump on those spikes! Run into those flames! Dodge those health packs!
- Recruit countless types of sidekicks, ride animals, and even get help from other zombies.
- 2D platforming, but with interactive foreground and background action.
- Special suits and abilities unique to each world.
- Get power-downs that give you special powers and drop your health, but at the expense of strange side effects.
- Tons of different types of secrets.
- ...and possibly a surprise at the end???
