How to play:
Use WASD to move.
Move the mouse to look around.
Press the left mouse button to fire.
To reload, press R.
Yellow powerups restore clips.
Red powerups restore health.
Beating a level means the game gets harder,
but you get more points for each zombie.
FAQ:
Q: Why can I still shoot after running out
of ammo?
A: That's supposed to simulate the pistols
in the original game. When clicking like
that, you only fire at half the normal
speed.
Q: Where's the exit?
A: On the first level, go to the far left
wall, then follow that wall to the far
north. Then go east and the exit should
be somewhere just south of you.
You're looking for a red room.
Q: Where are the powerups? Why are there
so many zombies just at the start?
A: That's random! The levels are always
the same, but the location of zombies
and powerups change each time you play.
Q: Didn't you just call this "Left 4k Dead"
to get some free publicity?
A: Kinda. :D It's a game about zombies,
with some elements taken from the
AWESOME game Left 4 Dead, and the name
is pretty darn punny if you ask me.
Q: Why don't you sell this?
A: Because I have an awesome day job making
games at king.com.
