BOXHEAD: PSP STYLE is a clone of Sean Cooper's (www.games.seantcooper.com - [email protected]) flash game series Boxhead: The Zombie Wars, a Top-Down Shoot-em-up game.

Objectives:
-KILL ZOMBIES and DEVILS

-(don't die)

PAUSE MENU CONTROLS:

[L] - Cycle through Music (backward)

ENEMIES:

ZOMBIE: If you get cornered with low firepower can be a big problem. Will attempt to completely encircle and then eat you.

DEVIL: Have a powerful fireball attack that can quickly end your life. Takes some Heavy FirePower to kill these suckers.

As you gain Kills, A number in the Top right of the screen will Rise. This is your Combo Counter, and it will go down unless you keep killing more zombies faster.

As the Combo counter reaches higher Numbers, you will Unlock weapons, and upgrades for those weapons.

Info:
- 8 Different Weapons
- 90+ Weapon Upgrades
- 2 Types of Enemies
- 3 huge maps each with their own highscore
- 3 Difficulties, each harder then the last
- Enable or Disable Devils (drastically makes game easier)
- Play your own MP3s and Atrac Files right from your /MUSIC/ or /PSP/MUSIC/ folders
- Interactive Menu - walk to your destination
- Built-In Game Guide with controls, etc.
- Good 'stereo' audio experience (explosions happen left of you , you'll hear them left of you out of the left speaker respectively, with all the action going on it is hard to forget about)

Luv this game this is an great piece of homebrew me and my bro figthting over the best high score

SG57 has patched game yet again due to complaints that the game freezes after completing a level.

-- Added a shuffle songs option in the pause menu - press Triangle to toggle it
-- Added a message box asking if you want to retry on the same map, same difficulty, etc. (instant restart great fast action)-- Updated bugs list

Look at my previous post above for the other fixes that were applied.

IF YOU WISH TO KEEP YOUR CURRENT HIGHSCORES, JUST REPLACE THE 'EBOOT.PBP' IN YOUR CURRENT BOXHEAD DIRECTORY WITH THE ONE IN THE PATCH!

I f'n love this game :)
You rockss.

The only problem I can find with it is that sometimes zombies spawn inside stuff and get stuck there, making the level unbeatable. Also, since they don't follow you when you're too far away, you sometimes end up having to search through the whole level near the end to get every last zombie.

Not sure whats fixed now, SG57's BOXHEAD patch 3 has been uploaded at psp hombrew idol contest, which probably fixes more crashes..

Thank you for these updates Flamingfox :) this game is rather amazing I must admit, great idea, it could be a actual game, imagine it 3D, state of emergency style gameplay...

[flaminfox]

longtime lol, Boxhead patch #4 has been released unforutunaelty the only way to download this is from SG57 site, but has bandwith issues.

At least as far as in-game inconveniences are concerned. If you would want to keep your current high scores upon upgrading to patch 4, just replace the EBOOT.PBP in your current Boxhead directory with the one in the patch, and you're good to go. This update includes a new powerful weapon.

Has anyone got patch 4 and able to upload it elsewhere at all?

I haven't been able to get patch 4 yet either! :confused:
