A downloadable game for Android

Notice: I have stopped development of DefCon Z for Cardboard. It has been removed from the Play Store because it targets an Android build that is outdated. I leave this up as an example of my work, but do not plan to resume development of this Cardboard version. Thank you.

DefCon Z is a Virtual Reality multiplayer zombie apocalypse shooter designed for cardboard and similar VR devices. This is an early release preview, and some aspects are still in beta stage.

Important requirements!

⦁ A Virtual Reality headset like Cardboard is required.

⦁ At least a four button gamepad or controller is also required to move your player around the environment. Controllers with an expanded button set will have more playability and functions.

⦁ An Android device running 4.4 or higher capable of 720 resolution is the minimum requirement. Older phones may be capable of limited play. Newer devices running a quad core processor or better with 1 gb of ram or more have the best framerates. I have done most of my testing on an S3, S5 and Note 4/5. I am very interested in your experience, as I wish I had more devices to test on.

Instructions:

Survive the waves of zombies as long as you can! Play alone or with friends with co-op survival. Search for weapon and ammo pick-ups to survive longer. Unlock achievements and check your score against others on the leaderboards. Note: There is currently only survival mode in this early release preview. Multiplayer, achievements, and leaderboards require a Google Play Game Services account.
