Special Strike Zombies

Why We Picked Special Strike Zombies

Special Strike Zombies keeps one loop — aiming and firing — and refuses to complicate it, which is the correct decision. The loop is aiming and firing, and it stays interesting for as long as your hands keep up. Nothing here is complicated; it is just fast. We kept it because a failed run here costs nothing but the time already spent. The page's own numbers: 328 of 500 on the arcade shelf, 4.2 out of 5 from 44 ratings, and 1,706 plays.

How to Play

The page documents very little, so these are the things worth knowing before you spend time on it:

• The browser's back button leaves the page rather than the game, so use the in-game exit instead.
• The next attempt starts from zero, which is why the first few seconds carry most of the weight.
• Play the first attempt as a scouting run and let the pattern show itself.

Editor’s Note

Playable on a phone, though the smaller screen makes the later waves harder than intended. The page is one screen of game and a list of controls that fits in two lines.
