GAME GUIDE
About Zombie Arena Shooter
Zombie Arena Shooter is a single-player, top-down zombie shooting game. Move through the arena, keep an escape route open, and clear waves to earn upgrade choices. Different weapons and enemy attacks change where it is safe to stand.
How to play the zombie arena shooter
- Choose an available arena and loadout, then deploy into a fresh run.
- Move around obstacles, keep distance from approaching infected, and watch attack warnings.
- Clear the wave and read the upgrade choices before picking one for your current weapon or survival plan.
- Survive the boss waves, unlock more options, and try Endless when it becomes available.
Desktop and touch controls
Use WASD or the arrow keys to move. Aim with the mouse and hold the left button to fire manually. R reloads, Space dashes, Q switches weapons, and Escape pauses. IJKL provides keyboard aiming and firing.
On touch screens, use the left movement stick and the right aiming stick, with separate reload and dash controls. Automatic fire can target reachable enemies; manual aiming overrides it. Check Settings if you prefer to turn automatic fire off.
Waves, weapon upgrades, and bosses
The game includes three arenas, eight weapon types, and enemies with different movement and attacks. Obstacles can protect you from a threat while also narrowing your own route. A weapon that handles a crowd well may need a different position against a boss.
Choose upgrades for the weapon you are actually using. Check magazine and reload behavior, avoid getting surrounded while reloading, and save your dash for an attack you cannot safely walk away from. Boss warnings show where an attack is about to land.
Saving and continuing a run
Progress is stored locally when browser storage is available. A continued run resumes from its saved wave checkpoint; refreshing during combat does not preserve every shot or enemy position. Use Settings & saves to export a separate backup before clearing browser data.
