Zombies Ate My Neighbors: Rebalanced
Zombies
A start-to-finish rebalance of Zombies Ate My Neighbors that refills the neighbor count as you play on, tames enemy spawns and reworks ammunition, without touching the level structure.
What it changes
The original game is notorious for snowballing: lose a few neighbors early and later levels become a war of attrition with almost nobody left to save. This patch keeps the campaign and its levels as they are but softens that spiral.
- Carrying on through the normal stages brings the victim count back up to ten.
- Enemy spawns are fairer and several enemies that soaked up far too many hits go down faster.
- The basic squirt gun now has limited ammo, and the game falls back to it automatically when a special weapon runs dry.
- Ammunition is retuned across the whole game, with better supplies in the later levels.
The four-character password system works as in the original.
