Thanks again!

OK, I think this is a LEGAL bump (2 months).
I have one thing to say too:
I've uploaded a new version with trophies and stats.
I'd love if someone could report me the glitches and bugs and give me some ideas.

[Newly Discovered]

alright! 2D nazi zombies! I like it.
the engine is a bit generic with boring sounds, half decent graphics, and bad collisions, but overall it's a good game.
Waiting for someone to play multiplayer with me.
Only reached level 7 on my first try solo.

I sure hope to see this game reach new heights!
Good luck!

[Jimmynator]

Thanks!!!
If you want anything in my game, just say it and I'll try to do it.

[Newly Discovered]

how about shadows?
I'd recommend a dynamic lighting engine but if you don't want to get too complicated with it, then I'd use this:

adds simple static shadows to your environment and is very easy to implement into any game.
if you choose to use it but need help, just let me know =)
(try the envMap example for easiest usage)

also, smooth collisions would be great. there's plenty of those around.

Looks good.
I'll try to implement the engine to the game. Thanks!

[Jimmynator]

Sorry, but it isn't that good for my game, but I will put smooth collisions.
Thanks for trying!

Comment, rate, review and give ideas for Zombies!

[Jimmynator]

I've updated the collisions (now they are smooth) and some glitches.
Enjoy the game!

I just tried the game and it was awesome! I really enjoyed playing it, and it is one of those games which are quite addicting and deserve a spot on my desktop. It was a very intense game with a lot of thought put behind it. Yes, it is not the most original game but it was very well done, and bug free as far as I could tell. I hope you don't get mad but there is only one big issue, the security of the online high-scores. None of the values were protected at all. I opened up CE (a memory editing program) and I changed the level directly. (The score which put me 8th on the board was not legit and should be deleted) I highly suggest protecting the money, level, and health variables because it is up to YOU to keep hackers and cheaters away and keep it fair. It is impossible to fully protect them but a few simple things can keep the 'script kiddies' and people messing with Cheat Engine from ruining your scoreboard (I'll give a protection method in a second). If I wanted to I could have been a complete jerk and submit a score of 999999 with the name 'penis' a thousand times and push the legit scores off the scoreboard. That is why you have to protect some of the important variables.

Ok so here is a basic method of protection.
1. You have two options here: 1. Get a DLL that will MD5 strings or numbers. (More secure) or 2. Use a simple equation. (Less secure, you will see what I'm talking about)
Option 1:
39DLL is a good DLL that will MD5, encrypt stuff, and do online stuff.
Lets say you have a global variable called money. Money starts at 0, so when you create your money variable, also create a variable called money_safeguard. In money_safeguard set it to the MD5 hash of money. When money validly changes, check if money_safeguard still equals the hash of money, if it does, change money to the desired value and then set money_safeguard to the MD5 hash of money. If not they have been hacking, and restrict access to the high-scores.(I don't suggest closing the game or completely banning. You want them to still play your game, just correctly.)
Option 2:
The save as above except instead of a hash you use an equation like this: money_safeguard=(money*8)/2.4 This does not require a DLL like the first option, but since money_safeguard changes in correlation with money, it can be easily found out.

I know, I am terrible at explaining things so if you want an example, I'd be happy to make one for you.
-Rock on!

Thanks. I understand what you are trying to explain me.
BTW. A new version has been uploaded, now with 39dll.

Hey, i had two ideas. One: i would really like to help your game. Especially with the sprites. If you look at some of my recent games, you will see that i am pretty decent at creating sprites and realistic textures. All of my textures are home made, and i would like to contribute and help you with your zombie game!

Two. If you create a map pack, you could probably sell it with a paypal account. This is a great way for users to buy a product from you and gain popularity, while you make a quick buck. Now i would help making maps if you would like. This is the best way to sell a game. Have a base game with about two maps, and sell a map pack for about 1.00.

Please message back if you're interested in any of this. Your fellow game maker; kibblesbob

Quick suggestion, why not use www.ucoz.com for your webite. It has more available space for files, and the amount increases with visitors!

[Ethereous]

get rid of the incredibly annoying 5 second loop that plays over and over again during gameplay and this game goes from a 0 to a 10.

[Jimmynator]

Lots of changes. See first post.

[gmx0]

I've updated some glitches.

HAHAHA!!!!

[walkerqaz]

Mistery Boxes?
And I dunno if there are dogs.
A death machine would be awesome (It had to cost a lot though )
