A top-down twin-stick wave survival shooter. Goofy green zombies shuffle out of burrows and find their way around rocks and crates to reach you. Blast them into sparkles, scoop up the coins they drop, and spend them in the supply shop between waves. Upgrade from pistol to SMG, shotgun and laser, boost damage, fire rate and max health, and drop up to three wooden barricades. Walkers, runners, armored tanks and goo-lobbing spitters join in as the waves grow, and a crowned boss shows up every fifth wave.

How to play

Survive each wave of zombies. Hits turn them into sparkles and drop coins, and nearby coins fly to you. When a wave is cleared, the shop opens: buy the next weapon (pistol, SMG, shotgun, laser), damage, fire rate, max health or a heal, or place up to 3 barricades on the grass. Zombies walk around obstacles and will chew through barricades that block their way. Spitters lob slow green goo you can dodge, and every 5th wave brings a boss. The run ends when your health reaches zero. Your best wave is saved.

Controls

WASD or arrow keys to move, mouse to aim, hold the left button to shoot. Hold Space to auto-aim at the nearest zombie. P or Esc pauses. On touch screens, use the left joystick to move and the right joystick to aim and fire. While placing barricades, tap a tile, or use the arrow keys and Enter.

Tips and strategy

  • Coins on the ground vanish after about 14 seconds, but any still lying around when a wave ends are collected automatically.
  • The laser pierces through several zombies with each shot, so line up zombies squeezing around rocks and crates.
  • Armored tanks have lots of health and barely get knocked back, so invest in damage upgrades before they arrive from wave 4.
  • Barricades cost 30 coins and cannot go on spawn tiles; place them to force zombies into longer paths around the obstacles.
  • Each upgrade level adds 20% damage, 12% fire rate or 20 max health, up to level 5, so spend on whatever is killing you.
