Zombies Forever! is a minigame that was built by Cubic Worlds players Birdtross and Muako. It essentially consists of a zombie spawner in the center of a death-pit. Players enter this death-pit with some basic fighting equipment and are awarded points for where and how they kill zombies.

Getting There

From Greenview Plaza, players need to taken the eastern path (the direction the sun rises from). Follow the path out of the public crafting area and enter the maze of streets. Keep heading east, past the Cube Tower. The path should now change texture. Pass by Sunshine Tavern and head over the small bridge. Now head through the small tunnel cut into the side of the mountain here. Following the path past the Cursed Forest will bring you to the Arena entrance.

Gameplay

Once you drop into the arena, the resident zombies will begin their relentless attack. A 'judge' (most normally Birdtross) will keep track of your score. Once you have died, the game is over. The judge will then announce your score and, if it's high enough add it to the highscores.

Only the top 8 scores make it onto the highscores for any division.

Scoring

Points are awarded for the way in which you kill a zombie:

  • 1 point is awarded for an 'arrow kill'
  • 2 points are awarded for a 'sword kill'
  • 3 points are awarded for killing a zombie that's on fire with any weapon!

The center of the arena is a Double-score area (marked by mossy cobblestone on the floor). If you and the zombie are standing on it when the zombie dies, you will be rewarded with double points!

Divisions
