Zombie Survival Challenge

Zombie Survival ChallengeMadafaku
Trapped in an abandoned cabin, you must fight off tons of evil zombies with your bare hands in order to survive. How long can you last?
So I picked LBP back up a few days ago, and was playing around with some Ideas I've had for a different level, and somehow I ended up with what turned out to be a really fun survival challenge. You get to pull zombies heads off.. thats always fun. anyway try it out if you feel like it.

I can't use my PS3 yet, but I wanna try this. Zombie levels are cool
So how do the zombies move?

Creature brains.

last time I made zombies move any other way It ended up being more trouble than it was worth. And this way you get points for each one you kill.

The cool part for me is the way they die.

I put a grab switch on their heads connected to dissolve on the necks, and the heads a connected to the body with elastic... and an inverted one shot mag switch on the head and body attached to the creature brains. so they die when their heads are far enough away from their body.

It gets really hard to do once place fills up with zombies. (my high score is 3040) but if you stay on the front plane your safe (but you cant get any points up there)

Oh I see. I'm also trying to make my own zombies but don't worry, I won't copy your flying heads idea. 2010-03-13 03:02:00

This is awesome, I can't stop playing it The gameplay is top notch, very addictive; Its brilliantly thoughtout and implemented. I got the second highest score but am still trying to beat yours

A couple of things, the visuals are bland, it would be great set in a graveyard, with moody lighting, using the layer glitch for a nice gothic church and some headstones in the background, use a rocket to blow a little smoke over the play area and it will look as great as it plays. Sometimes the zombies stack on each other or fall over, causing death where it should'nt, but its so awesome I can forgive this

Thanks man, I really appreciate the feedback.

I was planning on releasing part 2 a little while ago, but I got God of War, so I had to postpone everything else in my life for a few days.

Then my PS3 decided not to work for a few days.. so yea long story short, I'll probably take some of your Ideas for part 2...

working on making paint bullets kill the zombies, and its working good, but I need to make them a little more sturdy, they try to kill themselves alot.

I had a great Idea for the setting, but I think it turned out to be impossible or some thing.. not sure, but I'm still trying to think of either a way to do what I wanted, or something else that would still be cool.
