    paper Zombie Rush

    Zombie Rush is a fast-paced survival action game focused on wave-based combat and player progression. The objective is simple: survive increasingly aggressive waves of zombies using smart positioning, quick reactions, and upgrades.
    Players face continuous enemy waves that scale in difficulty over time, pushing them to adapt their strategy and improve their performance each round. The gameplay emphasizes intensity, responsiveness, and replayability, making each session progressively more challenging.

    The project was built with a strong focus on:

    • Smooth enemy spawning and wave logic
    • Player combat responsiveness
    • Difficulty scaling over time
    • Performance optimization for handling multiple AI units

    This project demonstrates hands-on experience with gameplay programming, enemy AI behavior, wave systems, and real-time combat mechanics.

    Tech Stack

    • Unity, C#
    • Wave & Spawn Management System
    • Enemy AI using NavMesh
    • Progressive Difficulty Scaling
    • Object Pooling & Optimized Update Loops
    • Real-time Combat & Damage Systems
