How it feels

A tense, pixel-art sidescroller where careful resource management and tactical planning are essential to survive relentless zombie-like threats.

What players say

Players praise the zombie survival and base defense mix but warn of a steep learning curve, especially the power management system. Many find the game grindy on higher difficulties with bullet sponge enemies. Players split on the idle flashlight animation and hit boxes, and several wish it had co-op.
