Brain Bypass

Part of Scream Jam 2024.

Scratch your brain with this short and sweet puzzle game! Play through 20 levels as you duck and weave between zombies to make it to the flag.

Click in one of 8 directions around your character to move. You can click where you're standing to wait/skip a turn. When you move the zombies move, so make sure to check where they are. And note, that walking directly into a zombie, or where the zombie is going, both result in a death.

There are four enemy types to watch out for:

• Blue - your garden variety zombie. They'll move back and forth, turning around when they hit a wall
• Red - A little smarter. These zombies will turn to the right whenever they hit a wall
• Purple - even smarter (but not too smart). These zombies will always try to chase you no matter what.
• Spawner - this will spawn an enemy the turn after the portal appears. It can spawn:
  • Blue - These are similar to the base zombie, but they despawn after hitting a wall.
  • Purple - Sometimes the spawners will create the purple chaser zombies. Watch out!

Once you've completed all a level or two, check out the levels screen where you can enable fog of war to replay levels with an increased difficulty or optimize your routes.

We hope you have as much fun playing this game as we did making it! And don't forget, if you'd like to quit a level at any time, just press escape.
