What is You are up against an army of zombies!
The horde is closing in, and there's no backup coming. Grab your weapon, find your spot, and show the undead what you're made of.
How to Play
Use your mouse or keyboard to aim and fire at incoming zombies, moving to dodge their attacks and stay alive. Survive each wave to progress, and try to last as long as possible against the ever-growing army.
Tips for Playing
- Always keep moving; standing still makes you an easy target for the horde.
- Prioritize the fastest zombies first—they close the distance quicker than the rest.
- Save your powerful shots for when the crowd gets dense to maximize impact.
- Watch your surroundings for escape routes or choke points to funnel the zombies.
- Stay calm under pressure; panicking leads to missed shots and early death.
