Zombies & Trains!

The official thread is here.

Hello, everybody!

We at Dragonhead Games will be bringing our upcoming game Zombies & Trains! to Ouya! Hopefully at launch



We got our developer Ouya unit a couple weeks ago and the game is running great on it! We're currently optimizing the graphics for it and adding controller support, as it's currently made for mouse, keyboard & touch controls.

Your object of the game is to stop the zombies from grabbing the brain prize. The game is a really fast paced, no mercy game, where the zombies keep coming, and one mistake can lose the round. You constantly have to be on your toes.

How many kills can you rack up?

Haha, looks awesome fun How do you plan to work the controls with the controller? Seems like it would work very well with a touch screen but I'm not sure about a controller.

Thanks Sam!

Ah, yes, that's something we are experimenting with now. It's currently best to play it with mouse/touch, but it works well with a keyboard too. You can kind of compare it with a rhythm game, where you need to press buttons in a certain order and get the timing right. You kind of do the same thing here but just with trains instead, so we are trying to get that feeling with a controller, e.g. Left/Right trigger buttons sends vertical trains, while U and O buttons send horizontal trains. After you get a feeling of which button sends which train, it currently works pretty well.

This looks sweet! I can see simple gameplay like this becoming really addicting and the different modes will keep us coming back for more as well as giving us variety to change it up sometimes.

Awesome, thanks man! It's super simple, but as more and more zombies appear, and it gets tougher and tougher quick! You then have to start using strategy and timing in order to advance further. We also have different goals/achievements/levels you get after getting a certain amount of score/kills, as well as power-ups, items, upgrades, all helping you stop those zombies
