In Defense mode, you play a post-apocalyptic survivor protecting the orphanage where you grew up and the younger siblings in your care. Each day brings another wave of zombies threatening your hometown.
Fight the horde with firearms, melee weapons, and tools, while buying supplies from the orphanage administrator. Manage your resources between rounds and set up defenses such as barriers and traps before the next attack.
The waves grow more difficult as you progress, and your purchases shape how you tackle each fight. Playground mode lets you use unlocked items to experiment with defenses against zombies without the threat of death.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the straightforward zombie-wave action as an engaging short-session game, with weapon choice and satisfying shooting among its draws. Some also highlight the ragdoll effects and the freedom to experiment in Playground mode. Criticism commonly focuses on repetition and limited long-term variety, with some players also finding later waves, the upgrade economy, or defensive structures frustrating.
