Zombies

Cube Life: Pixel Action Heroes features several types of zombies. Each map has a unique zombie design. The following table describes three basic zombies:

If the current wave is led by a zombie boss, the zombies under their command will spawn until the boss is slain. To initiate a new wave, the player must kill the majority of remaining zombies. Killing multiple zombies with continuous headshots grants the player Hero Mode.

Special zombies
Besides common zombies there are special zombies which frequent all maps. Currently there are two types of special zombies:
 * 1) Explosive Zombies
 * 2) Spitter Zombies

Explosive zombies start to spawn at wave 7. These zombies are slower than the player but as they approach, they move as fast as the player. After they are close, they spread their arms and explode soon after. The explosions cause damage based on their distance from the center of the explosion.



Spitter zombies first appear on wave 21. They are currently the only zombie with a ranged attack.

Spitter zombies keep their distance from the player. When chased by the player, a Spitter starts running backwards. The Spitter is slightly faster than the player. It stops and spits saliva on the player while anticipating its relative position to him.

A spit-impacted player suffers 10 health damage and their view is obstructed by the spit, which gradually fades away. There could be a maximum of three spits at any time. Extra spits replaces the fading spit. Spitters also strafe left and right.
