The horde
Player experience
The unique zombie horde: a cloud of thousands of flying skulls. You kill them for points, and you push them with the wells and the blasts. Most skulls are fodder. A few are tougher and pay more. The overwhelming number of skulls is the core challenge.
Product goal
The swarm is the pressure every kit is aimed at, and the points a run is made of. Elites are the exceptions. The skulls are the crowd you clear to stay alive and to pay the shop.
Open
The puffer is a second skull, and it is not in the horde yet. Whether it joins the swarm is open.
The horde is the swarm managed by IEnemyManager. Skulls spawn from the round and portal flow, steer as a group, and can be pushed by force fields and weapon wells. The player kills them for score. Rendering and pool size are on the enemy render config in as-built assets.
A skull leaves the swarm when it dies. The swarm itself ends when the gameplay scope ends. New skull variants that are not in the enemy assets are not in the game yet.
Nothing about individual skulls. Kill totals on a scored run are stored with the score.
