AmigaOS 4 version of Night Of The Zombies

This is a very violent game. So be prepared! Here you kill lots of zombies.  Night Of The Zombies is the author’s first game. It is a first-person-shooter aka FPS where you must survive endless waves of attacking zombies. In this game you earn points during the gameplay that may be used to purchase weapons, unlock new areas etc.

Every next round, zombies become stronger, faster and more hungry! On AmigaONE X5000/020 with Radeon RX 560, you have 30FPS in 1920x1080x32 across the entire game.

I haven’t been able to test the game myself as I don’t have any AmigaOS 4 machine available. When there is a MorphOS port. I will for sure test it. It looks like it runs at a solid framerate in the video above.
