Look, I have a lot of games, that's a fact. Have I ever finished one? No, not really. Why? Because I lost interest, I find something that's just too hard to make, it becomes boring, or any other dumb reason. But the most important thing is 'sales', if you can call it that, nobody plays my games, which is sad, and if people play your games, you're motivated to work on them. But I know that if I work hard, I can create the best game I can create.
That's what this game is.
This game will be my first major release, it releases in January of 2021. A trailer (a good one), will probably release way before that, but I need to set deadlines, for myself.

A walkthrough for the game can be found on this page, at the bottom.
Zombie Mayhem Walkthrough:
This walkthrough will teach you everything about my game, as well as some handy tips and tricks!
The basic controls:
Arrow Keys - Move
Mouse - Aim
Left-Click - Shoot
Zombie Mayhem has a load of modes, and more will be coming soon! Here is a list of all modes, complete with a description:
Regular - Regular mode, kill zombies, complete waves and try to stay alive. Your kill-count and wave will be saved locally.
SubZombie - Same as regular, but with a twist. This mode was created for one of my YouTube videos, where I added this mode. All it adds is a zombie death message, containing the name of one of my subscribers and a death message, like in Minecraft.
One-Hit - You have one heart, the zombies die instantly, how long can you survive? Your best time will also be saved locally.
Tutorial - A simple 5-minute tutorial on the basics of Zombie Mayhem.
Co-op - Kill zombies with your friends! NOTE: This is local multiplayer, meaning two friends should play on one computer. The controls for the second player are:
Z - Up
S - Down
D - Right
Q - Left
SPACE - Drop Bomb
As you might have noticed, the second player has a different attack to the first, they can drop a bomb, when a zombie touches the bomb, it explodes, and so does the zombie!
Versus - Battle one of your friends as one of you becomes a bomb-placing zombie, and the other a bullet-shooting human! Who can survive the longest?
The controls for the zombie are the same as those of the second player in co-op mode.
Portal - A mode inspired by Valve's awesome series, because the Portal games are one of my favorites, I decided to make a mode for it. It's basically Regular mode with portals, shoot a portal with SPACE, it automatically switches between blue and orange. Players and zombies, even bullets, can use the portals. But beware! When a zombie touches a portal, he teleports to the other one, and destroys it!
Sword - Forget the gun, I wanna use a sword to kill those zombies!
Spooky - I bet you don't even dare clicking this mode on the home menu, it looks like it's nighttime, and you can't see anything, but only hear the zombies... Wear headphones for the best experience.
Drag - This mode does not increase any of your scores, it is an experimental mode, where you can drag the zombies around wherever you want!
That's all the modes there are. But don't worry, because new ones are under development right now!
Let's talk about maps, maps are a big part of Zombie Mayhem, so I put a lot of work into them. Here is a full list:
Default - The default map with 4 wooden boxes
Cheese - This map once was a huge piece of cheese, but someone has been digging...
Castle Bridge - A pool of lava, a bridge, a patch of land, and a castle. Play your favorite modes in this amazing map, and don't touch that lava!
Portal Test - A recreation of a Portal test chamber with some cubes, GlaDOS even annoys you with her opinions!
Block Flip - This map switches color every few seconds, try not to touch the red tiles, but try to stand on the blue ones, this map is very hard, as keeping up with zombies, as well as looking out for red tiles is hard to do at the same time.
Those are all the maps for now.
It's Tips & Tricks time!
1) In the Cheese map, there's a spot close to spawn where it's impossible to take damage, and it's easy to kill zombies that spawn above.
2) In the Default map, it's easy to get zombies stuck against one of the four wooden boxes, the zombies do not have AI, they just look in your direction and walk. This strategy can be used to your advantage in the mode One-Hit mode, where it is important to survive, not to kill.
Now that we got those out of the way, let's talk FAQ.
