| Zombies (co-op) | You and your bots against endless waves of walkers. |
Zombies
Co-op survival. Everyone — you, your friends and any bots — is on one team;
the walkers are the enemy. Waves never stop, and each one brings more of them, tougher and
faster than the last. The clock counts up: it's a survival timer, and the match
never times out. The score plate shows the wave number and how many walkers are left.
| Vehicles | Ground only. Walkers can't reach aircraft, so helis and planes are disabled in this mode. |
| One life | Die and you stay down — no redeploy. Anyone still standing can clear the wave, and everyone who is down comes back for the next one. The run only ends when every survivor is down at once. |
| Bot skill | Sets walker skill too — Recruit walkers are slower and weaker, Veteran walkers hit hard and move fast. |
| Speed | Walkers speed up through each wave, and every 10 waves they get another step faster. Late on they will outrun a tank — they can never outrun a gun truck. |
| Rocks | Walkers climb straight over rocks. Water and buildings still stop them. |
| Spawns | Mappers place Zombie Spawn points in the map editor. Maps without them fall back to walkers coming in over the nearest map edge. |
| XP | +20 per wave survived, +2 per walker. The wave bonus is the real reward — don't farm chaff. |
Vehicles & unlocks
There are four vehicle types — tank, gun truck, helo and plane — and
seven variants of each, 28 in total. On the main menu, press and hold a vehicle
(or right-click it) to choose which variant you'll spawn as. A tap still just selects the type.
Your choices are saved.
| Unlocks | One every 20 levels, from level 20 up to level 480 — 24 in all, six per type. Nothing unlocks past level 500. |
| Never pay-to-win | Every variant is a sidegrade. Each gains something and gives something up — the Siege Tank has 385 HP but crawls; the Scout Buggy is the fastest thing on wheels with 98 HP. No variant is better than another across the board, and the level-1 default is never outclassed. |
| Fair fights | A new account and a level 9999 account are on even footing. Unlocks give you more options, not more power. |
| Hitboxes | Always the type's size, whatever the variant. What you see is what you hit. |
Maps & official maps
Build a map in the in-game editor, export the .json, and share it
on the Maps page. Anyone can download it and play it.
| Official maps | The best community maps get added to the game itself. They show up in everyone's map list marked ◆, always credited to whoever built them — the map picker reads "created by <author>". |
| How one gets picked | An admin promotes it from the Maps page. Share a good map and it might end up in the game. |
| Credit | Your name stays on your map — in the map list, and on the Maps page. Promoting a map never changes its author. |
| Limits | 3MB per map, 20 maps per player. Uploading needs an account that owns the game and has a username. |
Buying & ownership
| Price | $3.99, one-time. No subscriptions, no ads. |
| How | Create an account, buy through secure Stripe checkout, and the game unlocks for that account. |
| Gifts | You can buy a copy for someone else on the Store — enter their email and it unlocks for them (instantly if they have an account, otherwise when they sign up). |
| Forgot password | Use the "Forgot your password?" link on the log-in page — we'll email you a reset link. |
| Devices | Purchase once — works on both computer and mobile. Log in with the same account on any device. |
| Multiplayer | Always verified against your account when you connect. |
