How it feels

A frantic, tactical management game where you improvise with absurd weapons and abilities to survive a procedurally generated zombie apocalypse.

What players say

Players enjoy the cute pixel art but find the game punishing, with scarce food and unbalanced difficulty. Runs feel determined by luck rather than skill. Many praise the unique hands-off RTS style, but note the loop grows stale once you've beaten it once.
