Sandbox Zombies is an action level editor. With zombies in it. Carefully set up your own elaborate scenarios, or just revel in causing chaos. With no innate goal, Sandbox Zombies trusts you to find fun in creativity and mischief. No ads and no internet required. Sandbox Systems: - Factions: Humans can fight humans too! There are 12 factions and you can edit who fights who. - Territory: Many units will try to claim territory for their faction, and this funnels units towards where the action is. - Modifiers: Units can be given a wide variety of modifiers such Invisibility, Armor, Vampirism, and much more. Many modifiers can be combined. - Spawners: Keep units respawning forever. So the battle can be endless while you just sit back and watch. - Electric Grid: Connect power sources (such as sensors and solar panels) to powered terrain (such as turrets, doors, spawners, lures, capture points, and more) to turn them on, or even make a certain faction control them. - Ground Mess: Bullet casings, scorch marks from explosions, and (depending on your settings) blood and guts from the injured will gradually paint the floor. You can wipe it clean by hand. - Day/Night Cycle: A Sun and Moon orbit the level separately, and can affect some units and terrain. - Offline Level Sharing: The entire sandbox data can be encoded into text for easy no-internet-required cross-platform sharing. - Controller Support: Optionally plug in a controller to take over any number of units and turrets at once and control them in the style of a twin stick shooter. Hand the controller to a friend and that's asymmetric local multiplayer. Support for multiple controllers is planned. Sandbox Content: - Normal Weapons: Shotguns, Rocket Launchers, Uzis, Miniguns, Smgs, Assault Rifles, Snipers, Revolvers, Flamethrowers, Swords - Silly Weapons too: Teleporter Guns, Paintball Guns, Frost Thrower, Zombification-Injector Guns, Braimwormifiers - Units: Humans, Ghouls, Mummies, Skeletons, Witches, Demons, Angels, Ninjas, Ghosts. And most of those can also be either Werewolves or Vampires on top of that! And zombified on top of that! - Terrain: Turrets, Crates, Explosive Crates, Sandbags, Barbed Wire, Mud, Fog, Doors, Lures, Sensors, Capture Points, Solar Panels - Units can be given extra modifiers: Metal Armor, Wings, Invincibility, Invisibility, Regeneration, Being On Fire, Being Frozen, Locust Breath, Emergency Teleport, Divinity, Brainworms, Vampirism, Lycanthropy, Zombification - And much more! There's just a one-time purchase for extra content, but the basic game is free so jump in and start causing chaos!
