Zombie Rising

About Zombie Rising

Zombie Rising is a free third-person shooting game you play in your browser, where you fight off waves of pixel zombies in a dark, ruined city. Undead come at you from every direction, and each wave is tougher, faster and more aggressive than the one before. Your goal is simple: stay alive as long as you can and spend what you earn on better weapons.

This zombie shooting game rewards good movement as much as good aim. Zombies attack the moment they get close, so you either shoot them first or keep moving and use the surroundings to buy time. Every kill pays out money, coins, ammo and other rewards, and a radar map shows where the next group is coming from.

Learning how to play Zombie Rising takes about a minute. The Zombie Rising controls use only a keyboard and a mouse, and the Zombie Rising tips below will help you last through more waves.

Tips to get better at Zombie Rising

Shoot early. Zombies attack as soon as they get close, so every one you drop at range is one you never have to dodge.
Keep moving while you fire. Standing still lets a crowd close in from several sides at once.
Glance at the radar map between shots to find the side with the most zombies, and move away from it.
Spend your money on weapon upgrades as soon as you can. Later zombies are faster and tougher, and weak guns will not keep up.
Pick up the ammo and coins that zombies drop so you do not run dry in a long wave.
