THE LAST BLOCK The city has fallen. The streets are overrun. Now there’s only one thing left to do: defend The Last Block. The Last Block is a fast-paced zombie arcade game built around survival, high scores, ridiculous firepower, and increasingly overwhelming hordes. Fight your way through waves of zombies, recruit villagers to your defense, earn Scrap, unlock permanent upgrades, and see how long you can hold the line. But surviving the block is only the beginning. SURVIVE THE HORDE Take on increasingly dangerous waves of zombies and powerful bosses. Aim, fire, survive, and build your score as the pressure keeps rising. BUILD YOUR ARSENAL Earn Scrap while you play and spend it on powerful upgrades. Unlock the Machine Gun, Shotgun, Villager Squad, Mega Bomb, and more. Your purchases can change how you approach every run. HORDE RUN Lead your squad through a city overrun by the undead. Recruit survivors, dodge the horde, collect power-ups, and keep your team alive as long as possible. Grab Rapid Fire, Shields, 2× Damage, Bombs, and reinforcements—but one wrong move can cost you a survivor. RADICAL RUN Take a break from defending the block and jump into an old-school side-scrolling challenge. Run, jump, shoot, dodge enemies, and keep moving. CALL FOR BACKUP Unlock the Villager Squad and call in reinforcements when things get ugly. Armed villagers can help hold back the horde—but they won't last forever. DROP THE MEGA BOMB When the screen becomes completely overrun, sometimes there’s only one answer. Stockpile Mega Bombs and unleash massive destruction when you need it most. AND THEN THINGS GET WEIRD... Unlock the Zombie Dance Party for one of The Last Block's most ridiculous surprises. The undead stop attacking, the music starts, and for a few glorious seconds...everybody dances. Then you get to experience life from the other side. HOW LONG CAN YOU SURVIVE? Chase your high score, unlock upgrades, experiment with different strategies, and try to survive just one more wave. The block isn't going to defend itself. Welcome to The Last Block.

FIGHT DEEPER INTO THE SWARM Push through sector after sector, each with its own enemies, hazards and a boss waiting at the end. The further you go, the harder the swarm fights back. BOSSES THAT TEST YOU Every boss plays differently. Learn its patterns, pick your targets and watch for red-zone ultimates as its health drops: read the warning and get out in time.
