Tips and tricks
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Aim first, then shoot. Spraying costs time or ammo and rarely helps; a single well-placed shot almost always beats three rushed ones.
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
- 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 Tower Defense game, build at corners where the path doubles back so towers get two passes at every enemy.
- Because this is a Zombie game, never let yourself get surrounded — always keep an exit behind you.
