In celebration of our fiftieth episode, I created this little game. It’s stylized on the ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ books I remember from elementary school, complete with extremely limited choices, cheap deaths, and a narrator that doesn’t seem terribly interested in helping you out. See if you can survive in a world filled with zombies.
Bricks of the Dead
A LEGO Webcomic about Life, Death, Love, and Zombies… Mostly Zombies.

Heh heh heh, awesome. I actually escaped first time, so went back and re-did all the other options.
Thanks Louise! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Very nice! And congratulations on 50 comics, too!
Thanks Chris!
Excellent stuff – I love the duality of the small child especially.
And nice work on that alley set!
Appreciate the feedback, Lich! Thanks.
Brilliant! Need I say more?
Hah, brilliant will cover it, thank you!
Yeah. This a good little minigame. I’ve played games like this one where your choices depend on whether you live or die. Having played those, I was able to get it on the first try. The ending’s funny too.
Thanks Larry! I really tried to capture the cheapness of the whole thing.
I find it amusing that you never show the cheerleader zombifing. Hey wait- IDEA.
Thanks for the great ride so far, Dave. Looking forward to page 1000. ; D
My pleasure Ross.
It’s hard to show the cheerleader turn into a zed since she’s showing so much healthy yellow flesh on her front side.
Now that was some awesome fun (although since some of mys sisters were cheerleaders I’d have loved to see her get whacked with the club). I think it turned out very well — congrats on #50!
Hah, perhaps next time I can have some sort of bludgeoning-related death.
Isn’t it time for you to join the BCN dropdown? Even though I’m not a fan of zombies myself, it would make it easier for me to keep up with your comic.
Indeed so – requested!
i got to the kid and he turned ito a zombe and when i left him it said try again again im very dissopointed
You have to read the text. If the kid turn, you die. If you leave him you win, but you’re not a very nice person.
Dave, four things. One:CONGRATULATIONS on your 50th comic. Two: I LOVE Choose Your Own Adventure. Three:I’m a big fan of your comics and your game. Four: I’M YOUR BIGGEST FAN!!! I’m looking forward to your next comic and I hope you make bricks of the dead 2.
Hah, thanks!
I’ll have to come up with something great for episode 100.
Dave! CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS on your 81st comic! Only 19 to go before episode 100 (btw if you make episode 100 the ending of bricksofthedead, that would be f*ckin’ sweet.) And ReMeMbEr this: Make bricks of the dead 2! And my birthday was a few weeks ago. Now i’m ten yrs old

Hah, thanks. I don’t plan on ending the strip anytime soon, but I definitely need to start thinking about another game.
Dude. Awesome, but I can’t seem to get away without getting eaten or trapped in an infected city by thousands of zombies. Then again, the apocalypse should be hopeless, shouldn’t it? LOL Nice work on the comics. How does one get so many zombie heads? Bricklink? Findmybrick.com? A rather strange compulsion to buy more than one of every Star Wars set that includes Darth Vader? LOL
Those are pretty much the endings. You either get eaten or you temporarily escape. It’s not a fairy-tale ending. I should have made the endings a little more clear though; it seems like that confused more than a few people. Ah well, next time.
I got most of my zombie heads from Bricklink. I just happened to find a seller who was getting rid of twenty-some of them and bought the entire lot. Since then I’ve supplemented the collection a bit, including six of the collectible zombies LEGO released a few months back. One of these days I’m going to need to do a big crowd scene with a whole army of zeds.
I liked it, but you should make a longer sequel.
Thanks DemonMan. I definitely want to do another, longer version one of these days.
im more of a brick house guy but i like this one the same pretty much
Wow, that’s quite a compliment. Doyle’s Brick House is an incredibly well done strip.
How come I can’t do this on my phone?
The game is built in Flash, so I suspect your phone doesn’t support Flash.
Aww-man. Oh well.
hella cool
good work dave
Glad you enjoyed it. One of these days I’ll have to make a sequel.
You do realize, Dave, you have to make another one of these. It’s what we want!
I’m trying to pick up a bit more programing knowledge to make something a little cooler next time. It’s all about finding the time though.
Yeah, like add in some video instead of pictures!
What did you make this with?
Photoshop for the image editing and everything else in Flash
(I used to be called Someguy)
I thinkI’ve been through every route now. Ever considered extending this?
I’ve been thinking about doing another game for a while now. I hope I get more free time soon so I can actually sit down and work on something.
You should add the character of this minigame to your series xD and with the golfclub too
I definitely need to add the golf club. Not so sure about the cheerleader. I like that this is her own thing.
The only way to really win is to fight it with the golf club in the head, the only other way to survive involves leaving a helpless child in a city full of zombies
You don’t survive the zombie apocalypse by being a bleeding heart, right?
