DEADGRID is a minimalist zombie arena shooter — pure, intense arcade action with real multiplayer. THE CLIMB A campaign ladder thousands of levels deep, and no two rungs are alike. Every level rolls its own horde, its own weather, its own rule and its own goal: one-hit-point runs, total blackouts, meteor storms, assassination contracts. Two modes break the pattern — INFECT, where you ARE the outbreak and hunt the survivors down, and FREE FOR ALL, where everyone carries the same gun and only one walks out. 1,080 WEAPON FINISHES Thirty collectable liveries — GOLD, ONYX, SYNTHWAVE, NOSFERATU, VOIDLINE, RAINBOW and more — across all 36 weapons. Every third rung of the Climb pays one out. Locked finishes stay secret until you earn them. TWELVE HANDCRAFTED ARENAS Fight through Times Square, Shibuya Crossing, the Champs-Élysées, Copacabana, Stonehenge, the Taj Mahal, Chichén Itzá and Terreiro do Paço — plus four arenas of our own: The Garden, Sporewood, Rustyard and Cindermaw. Lava rivers, container mazes, neon crossings. Every layout is placed by hand, never generated. SURVIVE THE APOCALYPSE Endless waves of the undead. Every run is permadeath — beat your best in kills, waves and time survived. RANKED 1v1 — THE ARENA Duel real opponents in last-one-standing combat. Buy rage zombies and send them hunting your rival, earn a random upgrade every round, and climb 8 divisions to the top of the global ladder. DUO CO-OP Team up with a friend or matchmake with a stranger. Shared horde, shared glory — revive each other and see how deep two survivors can go. ARSENAL OF 36 WEAPONS Pistols, SMGs, shotguns, rifles, snipers, launchers, energy weapons, flamethrowers and wilder things — each with its own 3D model. Loot weapon crates mid-run and build your loadout on the fly. NINE ZOMBIE TYPES Walkers, runners, tanks, boomers, jumpers that vault your walls, fire-spitters, bladesmen who cut bullets from the air, gaolers with hooked chains and summoners who raise the dead. Smart pathfinding routes them around cover — they hunt, they don't just shamble. TURRETS & DEPLOYABLES Three turret types, barriers, claymores, explosive barrels and the legendary clapping monkey. Build choke points, then watch the horde walk into them. PROGRESS THAT LASTS • GAME PASS: a 101-tier season track with exclusive skins, chests and emotes • MISSIONS: endless ladders that pay pass XP with bonus chests on every claim • SPECS: permanent lifetime upgrades that make every future run stronger • 42 SKINS to unlock — from the humble Rookie to floating war gods • 32 EMOTES to talk trash in style COMPETE WITH THE WORLD Global leaderboards, a top-1000 board, friends list with live presence, duo invites and player profiles. Daily streaks keep your fire burning. PURE PERFORMANCE Optimized for smooth 60fps. All game audio is synthesized in real time — zero audio files, tiny download. Free to play. Endless waves, thousands of levels. Just pure arcade zombie survival. Any coin pack removes ad breaks forever. Download DEADGRID and see how long you survive.

THE DRUMS OF WAR THUNDER IN THE TOY BIN Welcome to Green vs Tan. You are Green. They are Tan. This is a tower defense game fought with the plastic army men that used to live under the couch. A hundred to a bag. Stiff little soldiers on molded bases. You drag your troops onto the carpet, hold the line, and keep them off your toy box. EVERY TOY IS A UNIT YOU PLACE Ten kinds of soldiers wait in the bin. The rifleman is your guy. He shoots his rifle and he gets the job done. The machine gunner lays down heavy fire but moves like a slug. The minesweeper plants firecracker mines and defuses the enemy's. The bazooka man blows up groups of soldiers, boulders, and occasionally himself. Why not? That's just how it is. The mortar sits far back and drops shells that land exactly where you need them, or nowhere close. The flamethrower soldier gets in there and torches everything. He is dangerous in close quarters and even better when the fight thins out. The radio man calls in a paratrooper and boosts the troops around him. Discover more kinds of soldiers as you play. Every one of them promotes, a hundred ranks up. And Sarge is free, always. There is only one Sarge. BRING YOUR BUDDIES There are yetis to fight, dinosaurs to rule, secrets to uncover, and someone bigger waiting at the top. Over 100 levels to beat. Start a squad! Play real people in Battlefield mode, open a private room and pass the invite code around the house, or jump into a co-op campaign for up to ten and fight the bosses as a team. Beat a level and everyone's campaign moves forward. You can also play by yourself against the CPU at any size, all the way up to 10v10. No pressure. Bring the whole friend group, the whole family, or your local army commanders. BEFORE YOU ENLIST Green vs Tan is free to play, and nothing is locked behind money. Every star can be won on the carpet. Ads keep the lights on. Don't want them? One No Ads purchase switches them off — 30 days, a year, or forever. Under 13? No ads, ever. No account and no sign-up. Tap PRESS START and you have a commander. Sign in with Apple only if you want the same army on a second device. No chat anywhere in this game. Only an invite code you read out loud. An internet connection is required at all times. This is a live game loaded from our servers. There is no offline mode. Made for touch. Drag, tap, command. Seven languages: English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, German, Russian, and Spanish. We hope you enjoy Green vs Tan as much as we have.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Green vs Tan at none against DEADGRID's 6. Green vs Tan also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). DEADGRID's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
