Quick Overview
This game is a prequel to I FORGOT TO TAKE THE CHICKEN OUT OF THE FREEZER. Grab a friend because this game is split screen: one player plays as Stacey, and the other player plays as the dog. There are two objectives in this game.
Main Objective - Walk the Dog Before Mom Gets Home
Very similar to what we had in I FORGOT TO TAKE THE CHICKEN OUT OF THE FREEZER. The main objective is very simple; you just need to walk the dog before the time limit is reached.
Boss Ending - Fight Um Fatima
In this game, you'll also get the chance to fight Um Fatima. However, if you try to fight her without properly preparing, you'll probably fail miserably. Use your time limit wisely to prepare for this boss fight. It's again a very similar idea to I FORGOT TO TAKE THE CHICKEN OUT OF THE FREEZER, but the process is a bit more intense here. Preparations involve gun purchases, car upgrades, sentry turrets, and allying with FATIMA HERSELF!!!!!! The boss fight itself is a lot more intense as well.
Gameplay
The two players are both in third person view. Stacey can arm herself from the start of the game with a sword and shield. The dog doesn't have any weapons, but definitely has unique capabilities: melee attacks and special abilities from the start of the game. The dog definitely starts out stronger.
There are several upgrades throughout the game. Stacey can purchase a gun; making killing zombies really easy, and definitely something needed if she is to fight Um Fatima. The cars in the garage can be upgraded to increase their max speed, jump (yes the car can jump), and allow for the riding player to sit on top of the car. Sitting on top of the car is especially useful for Stacey; especially when she is armed with a gun. She can shoot from the top of the car; while the dog drives. Again, something very useful if trying to fight Um Fatima. Other than upgrades, players can also purchase sentry turrets and rocket launchers. These are perfect for trying to build a perimeter to defend from mobs, and to help you battle Um Fatima.
To purchase these upgrades and things, there is a very basic money system in the game. There is some money scattered throughout the map. Players can also get more money by just killing mobs. There is a small chance that dead mobs will drop money.
Players can also ally with Fatima. Fatima is found at the top of the pyramid in the blue/green forest. To ally with her, players must have already purchased the car upgrade. While that is the only requirement, it is strongly advised to make the other purchases; getting Stacey a gun, and buying some turrets. Simply approach Fatima after making the car upgrade purchase, and she will follow Stacey. Fatima can deal immense damage to mobs, and can heal the players.
Controls in this game are designed to be very simple. I made this game with this aim in mind. Since this is split screen, I wanted to make it very easy for two players to play. Below are how two players can play.
Both players on one keyboard.
Both players on two separate controllers.
Both players on one controller. Yes, even this is possible.
Should a player fall while trying to walk the dog, either player can revive the other. Revived players come back with only 50% max health. Healing only comes from a few sources.
The dog has a special ability that does life steal; healing himself.
Fatima can heal both players.
