How to play Zombie Arena

Zombie Arena drops you into a fenced neon grid as the outbreak closes in. Waves of glowing zombies shamble in from every edge, and your blaster auto-fires at the nearest threat — your job is movement and positioning. Weave between the horde, don't let them touch you, and clear every wave to face a bigger, faster, meaner one. Fallen zombies sometimes drop green medkits that patch you up.

Controls

On desktop, move with the WASD keys or the arrow keys; your blaster aims and fires on its own at the closest zombie, so you can focus on dodging. On phones and tablets, touch and drag anywhere on the arena to steer with a virtual joystick. Use the buttons under the arena to start or restart a run.

Tips & strategy

Keep moving in wide circles — standing still lets the horde collapse on you. Funnel zombies into a clump so your shots clear several threats while you backpedal. Brutes take extra hits, so give them distance while the blaster chews through them. Grab medkits right after taking damage rather than at full health, since healing can't exceed your max. From wave five the runners get genuinely quick, so hug the center and never corner yourself.

Scoring

Each zombie kill scores 10 points multiplied by the wave number, so later waves are where big scores happen. If a zombie reaches you it deals damage based on the wave — lose all 100 HP and the run ends. Your best score and highest wave are saved in your browser.
