Boxhead: The Rooms
Boxhead: The Rooms takes the series in a somewhat new direction. You're still
Jon Bambo - a boxy guy fighting boxy zombies, but now the objective is simply to survive
and take out as many zombies as possible
before they inevitably overwhelm you.
This game features multiple playing fields or "rooms" for you to choose from.
This installment also introduces the combo meter system that the Boxhead series
is known for. Killing multiple zombies quickly in succession increases your combo
meter. Reaching higher combo meter numbers earns you new
weapons or upgrades.
The longer you survive the more zombies will swarm into the room, so get ready for
some intense gameplay!
Sean Cooper notes:
The first Boxhead game: Halloween, was a little experiment
that I thought would not really go anywhere, people played it and didn't really
like it. So I thought what could make it
better? I really thought
about the pacing, how could I ramp it up so the game became
progressively more fun and more challenging?
This is how I came up with Boxhead: The
Rooms, which was a real turn around for this series! So something good came from something
not so good :-)
