+1 Guns vs Zombies

Mission briefing

A zombie shooter where every shot makes you stronger. Train on the shooting range to grow your Power, fight through 15 stages of zombies and bosses, earn wins and spend them on 15 guns, from a nail gun to a flamethrower. Rebirth for lasting multipliers, collect titles and a pet, and come back every day for login rewards: an RPG on day 2 and a minigun on day 5.

Field manual

Train on the range until your Power is above the stage's recommended Power, then go through the gate and clear every zombie in the stage. Step on RETURN x2 in the safe zone to take double wins, buy stronger guns at the stands and rebirth for lasting multipliers. Turn on Autofire when you are tired of clicking. Desktop: WASD to move, left mouse button to shoot, right mouse button + mouse to turn the camera, mouse wheel to zoom (all the way in for first person), V to switch the view, R to reload, E to buy or equip at a stand, Space to jump. Phone: the left stick moves, dragging on the right turns the camera, the buttons shoot, jump, reload and switch the view.

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a landscape (wide) screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It is built wide, for a landscape screen — rotate a phone sideways, or give it a tablet or monitor to stretch out on. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.

Field notes for action operations

• First run is reconnaissance. Spend it learning where the danger actually spawns from instead of chasing a score — most action games announce their patterns honestly in the opening minute, then repeat them with worse manners.
• Movement is a defensive stat. A moving target at half health outlives a stationary one at full health in nearly every game on this board, so keep relocating between shots, strikes and reloads.
• Learn the exit before the entrance closes. In arena and chase games alike, the players who survive longest are the ones who noticed the second doorway while everyone else was watching the first.
