Game overview

Zombie Waves pits you against an endless tide of the undead in a game that merges drag-to-shoot combat with defensive plant building. Drag your character to aim and fire at approaching zombies while collecting upgrade power-ups that boost your gun speed, bullet count, and character stats. Between firefights, use resources to construct defensive plants that act as barriers and damage dealers. Each wave tests both your shooting reflexes and your tactical placement of defenses, creating a dual-layered survival challenge where one weak link in your strategy can mean the end.

Best suited to players who enjoy zombie survival with a mix of shooting action and light defense strategy.
