Notch releases free browser-based zombie FPS Shambles

[Administrator]

Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson has released a new free browser-based score-attack zombie first-person shooter entitled Shambles.
It was originally made for 7DFPS, a game jam where creators were tasked with making a first-person shooter in seven days. Shambles tasks players with collecting as many yellow orbs dropped by dead zombies as they can. In an interesting balancing act, the only way to get guns and ammo is to obtain them from dead cops and the only way to get health is to pick up first-aid drops left by killed civilians. The latter won't hurt hurt you, but the police won't hesitate to shoot if you open fire on them. Also, cops and civilians can turn into zombies when bit.
As such, it's often a mad scrambled for ammo as a cluster of cops is at least as deadly as a pack of the undead. Thankfully, you don't need to be the one to kill in order for people to drop stuff, so it's often best to take the path of least resistance and grab the goodies other leave in their wake. Of course, this means rushing into a hail of gunfire and the undead, but no one said surviving an apocalypse was going to be easy.
