  Horde v.022 is here!

  🌟 New Update Now Live! 🌟 Survivors, get ready! This update brings new features, mechanics, and improvements to keep you on your toes. Dive into the details below: 🕒 Added Days System The game now progresses through days (e.g., Day 1, Day 2, etc.). As days increase, more zombies will spawn, raising the difficulty. Higher scores are awarded for kills and rescues on later days. "Total Days" has been added to the High Scores list—can you top it? ⚙️ Adjusted Difficulty Zombies now move at a consistent speed during both day and night. Zombies are tougher at night (more health) and weaker during the day. More zombies spawn at night than during the day—prepare accordingly! 🧟 Enemy Changes & New Types Cop Zombies: Slower but significantly tougher to kill. New Enemy - Undead Luchador: A slow-moving foe with TNT strapped to their back. Takes much more damage to defeat. Explodes upon death, damaging the player and killing nearby enemies. ❤️ Added Lives System Players now start with 3 lives. When you die: You respawn, but one life is lost. All enemies on the screen are cleared. You gain temporary invulnerability to get back into the fight. 🎨 Visual & Graphical Updates Camera Changes: The camera has been zoomed in, allowing players to see more of the finer details in the game. Players will see less of the surrounding area, adding tension and immersion. New Effects: Blood splatter stickers when enemies are shot. Blood pooling effects when enemies die. Explosions for TNT-related deaths. Improved Effects: Enhanced blood explosions for better realism. Consistent visuals across all blood effects. On-screen blood appears when the player takes damage and fades as they heal. 🐛 Bug Fixes Fixed the Banana Gun: Bananas now stick to enemies as intended. Enemies randomly transform into bananas again—just like they should! Adjusted some sound effects for better volume balance and normalization. 🎮 Jump back in and experience the chaos! 🎮 We’re excited to see how far you can survive with these n...
