Zombies are Attacking My Fridge


Clicky: Download Latest Version.

NOTE: Development on ZAMF has been put on hold while I get a 2D version done

So, Zombies are Attacking My Fridge is a game that is inspired in part by the plethora of tower defense games made out there. A 3D real time tower defense game!

The idea is simple – there are zombies. They want to gain access to your fridge, and it’s up to you to pull together household equipment to stop them. Swivel-chair mounted nailguns, doormats with spikes and deoderant-powered flame throwers all make up part of your arsenal as you defend the fridge against the vicious onslaught of Zombies.
