About Stop Zombies
Armed with a blaster that fires colored projectiles, you must hold your ground against a relentless horde in Stop Zombies. Each undead creature can only be taken down with a bullet matching its color, so quick thinking and sharp reflexes are your best defense. As the swarm grows stronger, your survival depends on staying alert and firing smart to prevent
The genre lives on satisfying hit feedback, waves or levels that build up and ammunition or cooldown management. Stop Zombies understands that, and it shows in the first minute of play. The skills it leans on are resource management and situational awareness; both improve noticeably after a few sessions.

- Take a few practice shots at the first targets to learn the aim speed, then move on to prioritising the dangerous enemies.

Tips and tricks
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Aim first, then shoot. Spraying costs time or ammo and rarely helps; a single well-placed shot almost always beats three rushed ones.
