Game: Over 9000 Zombies!
Over 9000 Zombies! v0.1.6.2 has been released!
The update will feature several key changes. The first major change is the game now uses an unlock-based Weapon System, replacing the old item-drop based weapon system. Weapons are now organized into four categories featuring multiple tiers in which each tier is unlocked by killing a required amount of zombies with the lower tier of gun in that category. Pressing the " i " key in game will bring up a display of how the tiers are organized, or simply kill enough zombies to fill up the green progress bar on the bottom of the screen to see what gets unlocked!
The second major change is a fully redesigned HUD. The graphics have been upgraded and the information it presents is more organized and readily visible. As stated earlier, there is also a new visualization to show your progress towards unlocking the next weapon.
Another major change includes a blended Zombie Spawning system mixing elements of the older system and the new system to maximize the amount of chaos. This will increase the action and chaos significantly as well as the difficulty, as there will be more zombies on screen.
Since difficulty has been increased we have decided to reset the Leaderboards to make the competition fair for new players, so now is your chance to establish yourself as the top Zombie Slayer!
There have been a multitude of other smaller changes as well.

- New Unlock-Based Weapon System
- New Heads Up Display and visualizations
