Super Square Zombie Killer by citizen_erased
Super Square is spawned into a very strange and dangerous world. There are no other sentient squares, only square eating zombies! Thankfully Square comes packing heat!

----- Playing -----
Find the exit without dying! There are some health kits around if you're low on health. Each gun has different properties:
Pistol: Powerful and accurate, but has small magazine size and bullets do not go through zombies
Shotgun: Fires many pellets in a large spread. Useful for pushing back a crowd of zombies, but has a long reload time.
Assault Rifle: Large magazine capacity, medium damage, and bullets go through zombies. Good for general killing.
Light Machine Gun: Powerful and can fire a large number of bullets before being reloaded. Watch out for its large spread and long reload times.

The zombies filled their role but were a little to fast.
Well done!
@Per The pistol is more accurate than the other guns so I used it to take out individual zombies outside of their "kill the player" range. I guess whether you find the pistol useful depends on your play style. Limited ammo could have been good, would have added more challenge to it. Thanks for the feedback!
@SonnyBone Hmm... They're supposed to be quite fast but it could also be a bug. I've uploaded a video of the first map so you can check: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3npMRx7BHE
@Kitch Thanks!
