A downloadable game for Windows

Made in three weeks for the VGDC 2023 Spring Libraries Jam.

360 Zombie Boyz is a zombie survival shooter game designed to highlight immersive elements of the Cyma Rubin Visualization Gallery at NCSU. The gallery is a room surrounded by projectors, creating a 360 degree monitor that surrounds the space within. The game uses gyroscopic controls on the dualshock 4 control to simulate aiming a weapon within the studio in the different directions. We also use lighting and directional audio so that you can see where zombies are hitting you from and hear them even if you aren't looking in their direction, using the spaces unique sense of immersion.

The game can also be played with standard stick controls. Press a button on any controller to join, and if the gyro is not working properly press "select" or "share" to change the gyroscopic scheme.

A version for desktop that is incredibly letterboxed is included here. It lets you play it on desktop, but isn't really how it is meant to be played. The left and right sides of the screen connect in the ring in the visualization gallery.

Controls:

  • Gyroscope/Right Stick - movement of weapon aiming on horizontal and verticle axes
  • Right trigger - fire
  • Right/Left bumper - swap weapons
  • Left face button - reload
  • Start/Options - Recenter aim
  • Select/Share - Change gyro scheme
