More about this game

Your goal is to run as far as possible while keeping your zombie horde alive. The game moves forward automatically, and you must time your jumps to avoid pits, cars, buses, and bombs. Biting humans adds another zombie to your swarm, up to a maximum of 12. As you travel further, the running speed increases, capping out at an extra 310 speed units based on your distance. The run ends when your last zombie hits an obstacle or falls into a pit.

Tips

You can jump slightly after running off an edge thanks to a 0.12-second coyote time window, which helps clear wide pits.
Giant and Ninja power-ups grant 8 seconds of invincibility and let you smash through obstacles without losing any zombies from your swarm.
When a zombie is hit, you gain 0.8 seconds of invulnerability, giving you a brief moment to recover before taking more damage.
