HEAVY AND CHILL PLAYLISTS EXPLAINED:

There are over 10 songs per-playlist and the idea is to choose one song you like and loop it but songs will play through if you choose not to, up to you. The heavy playlist has songs more consistent with guitars, bass, drums and harder-hitting beats. The chill playlist has songs more consistent with synths, piano, drums and lighter-hitting beats. Some songs use elements from both styles, but tracks are placed based on the overall feel of the song.

BOSS SPAWNS EXPLAINED:

Bosses have a lower spawn chance from days 10 through 360. For days 370+ though, bosses have a much higher spawn chance. This is due to the fact of there being so many build variations, I did not want someone being blocked from progressing if they're not strong enough to defeat one of the bosses early on but I also want bosses to feel like their role is used properly, so that's why later in the game bosses will spawn more consistently.

NOTE FROM THE DEV:

I enjoy playing defense, roguelite and idle games; this is my take on what those are like when combined. From days 1 through 99, waves are less dense than days 100+. 

I like games with lots of upgrade options, massive build depth and silly content to discover in what appears to be an otherwise serious game; I believe I delivered on those. I did my best to balance it, putting countless time into testing. Though, I am open to make changes depending on feedback.

Some of the music used was created by my brother and uncle when they were younger. I created the sound effects and rest of the music using music production software; it's all original and no ai was used. One of my cousins helped with some of the artwork and I tried to make content look as good as I could (I think it turned out alright). I hope you enjoy playing and I'm looking forward to seeing your builds!

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game contains frequent combat against zombies. Players use weapons and defensive systems to kill zombies, resulting in blood effects and stylised gore. Violence is presented in a non-realistic, cartoon-like 2.5D art style. The game does not contain sexual content, nudity, drug use, or depictions of self-harm.
