Zombie Rockers
In our never ending quest to improve our skills and learn a little more about designing video games, we decided to make a game called Zombie Rockers.
Zombie Rockers is an example of a match three game like Zuma, Luxor and Pirate Poppers.
Basically, the objective of the game is to prevent a chain of balls of different colors rolling along a given path from reaching the end of the path by throwing balls and making groups of 3 or more balls of the same color.
We choose this game because we thought it would be a simple game, and that we could implement the basic mechanic in a simple way, generating some content and levels and make a full simple game out of it. But the reality was that it was a much harder task that what we initially thought. The basic mechanic has a lot of little details that were hard to represent in an easy way in our framework, and generating content although easy the first time, is hard to modify and tune, and we are too lazy also.
We were working on the game about two months ago and we were waiting to publish it because we wanted it to have the minimum of features it required and to remove all bugs we found. Now that it is in a playable state we decided to put it in the games section.
The biggest problem we have is that the game has the best name ever in the whole wide world, but there are no zombies.
Hope you can give it a try, play the game here.
