Munch Mob Madness

Munch Mob Madness is a vehicular combat videogame made in Unreal Engine 5 for a university assignment that takes heavy inspiration from games such as Carmageddon, Twisted Metal, and Crazy Taxi.

You’re a delivery driver for a food charity in a post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies. Zombies were created after people got too hungry and resorted to cannibalism. You need to deliver food supplies to remaining survivors. Delivery vans have been weaponised with the intention of running over zombies and harvesting their blood to keep the delivery service flowing and fuel supplies plentiful.

Munch Mob Madness offers a fast-paced, arcade-style driving experience that emphasises a combination of speed, precision driving, and precise navigation through a bustling cityscape filled with shortcuts and different types of obstacles.

Devs:

• Cameron Glasgow - Programmer
• Marcelo Lopes - Artist

Features:

• A bustling cityscape filled with ramps and shortcuts, emphasising verticality
• Zombie hordes the player must mow down to gain fuel
  
• Obstacles which cause different gameplay effects such as inverting the controls, altering the time speed or even altering gravity!
  
• Jump, shield, and boost powerups
• A score system that rates impressive tricks like drifting time and air time
• A leaderboard system to compare your high scores with friends!

Controls (It is highly recommended to play this game with a controller):

• Throttle - W / Right Trigger
• Brake / Reverse - S / Left Trigger
• Steer Left / Right - AD / Left Stick
• Drift - Spacebar / A Button
• Look Behind - C / Right Stick Button (R3)

• Shoot - Left Mouse / X Button

Features We Discussed / Wished To Add But Couldn't Due To Time Constraints:

• A true vehicle physics system, allowing for more "bouncy" movement
• A destruction / crash system for the vehicle
• A true dismemberment system for the zombies
• An online leaderboard (not just local)
• A multiplayer battle mode
• Bandit AI vehicles that steal food packages
• The amount of food packages picked up can weigh the van down and make it go slower

Note:

• A decent PC is required for this game to run at 60fps. The game needs a little more optimisation that we did not get round to due to time constraints.
