Grow your squad, pick the right gates and wipe out the horde.
Zombie Rush is a crowd shooter arcade: you drag a self-firing squad down an infested road, cross gates that multiply (or punish) it, free caged survivors and endure the horde's erosion up to the boss. Short, tactile and with rogue-lite progression.

/ How to play
Swipe
Move the squad horizontally with one finger. Firing is automatic.
Recruit
Pick the good gate of each pair and break cages to grow.
Endure
The horde bites your front line: every zombie that reaches you costs soldiers.
Upgrade
Earn perks, coins and raise your starting point in the shop.
/ Features
100 fixed levels
Deterministic campaign across 10 acts: every run of level N is identical and learnable.
Gates that multiply
×2 / +N gates against trap gates: the constant decision that defines the genre.
The squad is your life
Every soldier counts: the horde erodes your front line and cages reinforce it.
Bosses every 10 levels
4 distinct patterns: summoner, charge, spitter and a combined enrage.
6 weapon tiers
From the Pistol to the piercing Laser, upgrading with WEAPON+ gates mid-run.
Day / night cycle
Levels x7–x9 of each act turn to night: cool tints, streetlights and extra tension.
/ The horde
The base zombie sprite is gray and the game tints it per variant. Each type brings its own counterplay and is introduced gradually across the campaign.
