About Capybara Winter Curse
During the winter months, the entire capybara folk fell ill and was cursed. Hit all the zombie capybaras with your snowball gun and neutralize them. Remember, the giant capybara zombie is extremely powerful; you must be very fast and strong to defeat it. The fate of the entire capybara world is in your hands. Grab your weapon and start firing!
What makes a good shooting game? Usually enemies with distinct behaviours, ammunition or cooldown management and waves or levels that build up — and Capybara Winter Curse has each of them in some measure. Playing it works your aim and situational awareness, which is a large part of why the "one more round" feeling is so strong.

Tips and tricks
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- Because this is a Animal game, each animal usually has a unique ability — test them all.
