About

Far From Dead Pixel Zombie

Read full description

The outbreak took everything. The streets belong to the dead now — and they're coming for the last thing that still breathes. You. Grab your gun. Lock the lane. Don't let a single one through. FAR FROM DEAD throws you into 700 levels of pixel apocalypse, and the horde never slows down. Walkers shamble. Runners sprint. Spitters spray acid, splitters multiply the second you kill them, bulls charge straight through you, and vacuum husks drag you into the middle of the swarm. Twenty kinds of undead, each one forcing you to fight a little differently — and ten towering bosses that come back meaner every cycle, all the way up to the 5,000-HP Super King waiting at the end of the world. You won't survive on bullets alone. Unleash scatter bursts and spin-fire, freeze the lane solid, send in your attack dog, or switch to Lifesteal and heal with every hit. Call down a UFO airstrike. Stampede a herd of cattle straight through the crowd. Drop traps, ride into battle on horseback, and pour every coin you earn into a deeper, deadlier loadout. No two runs feel the same. Night raids, Blood Moons, Gold Rushes, Endless Hordes, Last Stands — dozens of modifiers twist the rules and crank the danger. Crisp retro pixel art. Punchy sound. Built from the ground up for your phone, with smooth touch controls and a camp where you shop, upgrade, and gear up between runs. The world is gone. Just one question remains: How long can you stay FAR FROM DEAD? — Download now and find out.
