Survive the aisles. The supermarket has gone rotten. Spoiled food, mutant shoppers and things that should never have been on sale are closing in from every direction. Grab a weapon, keep moving, and see how long you last. ONLINE CO-OP Team up with a friend in real time. Share a room code, fight the same horde together, and take on team missions that you pick in turns. No account needed - just a code. 8 UNIQUE MAPS From the corner shop to the harbour warehouse. Each map has its own enemies, hazards and four escalating boss tiers. 10 CHARACTERS Every character starts with a different weapon and playstyle, from the Security Chief who punches enemies down to the Warehouse Manager with a wider blast radius. BUILD A RUN Dozens of weapons and passive upgrades. Level up mid-run and choose your path - no two runs play the same way. BOSS SIEGE MODE Face giant bosses with their own attack patterns and summoned minions. PERMANENT PROGRESSION Earn gems every run and spend them on permanent upgrades that carry into the next one. NO ADS. NO IN-APP PURCHASES. The whole game is included. Single player works fully offline; only co-op needs a connection.
