Zombie Shooter
A 2D casual shooter inspired by Stupid Zombies, built in Unity with physics-driven bullets and simple enemy AI. Players aim with the mouse, fire bouncing bullets, and clear each level by eliminating all zombies with a limited number of shots.

Challenge
Recreate the core loop of Stupid Zombies while learning Unity’s physics, animation, and AI systems. My goal was to design levels with simple but engaging enemy behavior, physics-based projectiles, and a scoring system that rewards accuracy.
Results
Zombie Shooter delivers a satisfying mix of puzzle and action gameplay where players rotate a gun toward the mouse, preview shots with a real-time line, and fire bouncing bullets to take down zombies patrolling platforms with simple AI. Each level ends when zombies are cleared or bullets run out, with win/lose screens and a star rating system (1–3) that rewards efficiency, while multiple levels, varied backgrounds, and clear UI keep the game interactive and replayable.
Process
Level design and environment: Built multiple levels with unique backgrounds, platforms, and zombie placements.
Enemy AI and animation: Designed simple patrol AI to keep zombies walking back and forth on platforms without falling. Integrated idle, walk, and death animations triggered by state.
Shooting mechanics: Implemented a rotating gun object that tracks the mouse, with a line renderer for aiming. Added physics-based bullets that bounce off walls and despawn after a set time.
Game flow and scoring: Created win/lose conditions tied to zombie kills and bullet limits. Designed a star system (1–3) based on bullets used, encouraging efficient play.
UI and scenes: Developed home, level select, gameplay, game over, and win screens with clear navigation and feedback.
Conclusion
Zombie Shooter showcases my ability to combine physics, AI behavior, and animation into a cohesive gameplay loop. It demonstrates problem-solving in level design, efficient system implementation, and user-friendly UI design, highlighting both creativity and technical skills in Unity development.
