Grow your armored squad through gates, clear infected hordes, drop the mutant boss and reach the evac chopper!
About the game
Zombie Army Run is a fast, hard-hitting crowd runner set in a ruined city after the fall. You start with a handful of survivors in helmets and plate carriers, and while your squad pushes forward you steer it left and right by dragging your finger or using the arrow keys. The night road is lined with burned-out cars, flickering street lights and barricades flashing red and blue, and it is split by energy gates marked +20, ×2 or −15; pick the right side at the last second. A good gate multiplies your squad, a bad one cuts it down hard. Infected hordes block the way as hunched grey-green silhouettes with glowing eyes. When your squad hits them, rifles, energy weapons, plasma flamers and rockets open fire, and every infected you take down crumbles into ash and sparks with no blood at all. At the end of each level an armored mutant brute waits, slamming the ground with shockwaves across three enraged phases. Take it down and climb the ×1 to ×10 barricade steps of the evac base; the closer you get to the helicopter, the more supplies you earn. Spend them on your starting squad, a gate bonus and eight different loadouts. Thirty fixed levels, a separate HARDCORE mode with its own progress and saved records keep you coming back. Free to play, no download and no sign-up.
How to play
- Your squad runs on its own; drag your finger or use the ← → keys to steer left and right.
- Cyan and green gates (+ and ×) grow your squad, red gates (− and ÷) shrink it.
- Hitting an infected horde shrinks both sides; dodge the big side hordes and pick up survivors at the green flares.
- Take down the mutant boss while watching for its shockwaves, then climb the ×1-×10 evac steps with what's left.
- Buy upgrades and loadouts with supplies; switch to HARDCORE in the menu for bigger hordes and a separate record.

FAQ
Is my progress saved in Zombie Army Run?
Yes. Your normal level, your separate HARDCORE level and record, supplies, upgrades and loadouts are saved on your device, so you pick up where you left off.
Is there blood or jump scares in the game?
No. The game has a dark, tense post-apocalyptic setting, but infected that are hit crumble into ash and sparks; there is no blood, no bodies and no jump scares. Your squad only fires at the infected and the mutant boss.
What does HARDCORE mode change?
In HARDCORE the hordes are bigger and faster, bad gates show up more often and the mutant boss is tougher, taking more soldiers with each ground slam. In return you earn more supplies, and your progress and record are kept separate from normal mode.
