Inspiration

We quickly came up with an idea about resurrecting zombies to protect you. After scheming for a while we took Geometry Wars as inspiration.

What it does

It's a survival game. You're a necromancer and you can resurrect zombies to protect you from the incoming fireballs. There are also 4 power-ups that will help you to survive as the game gets gradually harder.

How we built it

We built the game with Unity2D and we used GIMP to draw the sprites for the game.

Challenges we ran into

Drawing was a challange, since none of us are artists. We had to learn to use a lot of new things like shadows etc. We also tried to implement controller support.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of making a complete game. Also using normal maps made the game have more atmosphere.

What we learned

During hackathons you should sleep. Also that planning the project well and setting a common vision will make the project more probable to succeed.

What's next for Junction

Just keep doing it, and we'll be happy.

Controls

WASD to move. Your mouse location will indicate the location where the zombies will go after using your left mouse button / space to resurrect them. You can use Z, X, C, V to use the Power Ups. You can use ESC to quit the game.
