Zombit — Play Free Online

Zombit is a base-defence survival game. The day is for preparing and the night belongs to the zombies. You lead a small squad, collect wood and coins, and turn a bare camp into something that can hold when the sun goes down and the infected arrive in waves.

It is a calmer kind of action than most of the shooters in a browser catalogue. You spend as much time deciding what to build or upgrade as you do reacting to what is coming at you. That rhythm of gathering, spending and then defending is why it sits well on a site built around Doodle Jump. Both games are easy to pick up, and both leave you with a "one more round" feeling.

The game runs in the browser with nothing to install. It was made by FGL Games and was their first title on Poki.

How to play

Move your character with WASD or the arrow keys. On a phone or tablet a joystick appears on screen and does the same job. Click or tap to choose between options, such as picking an upgrade or confirming a build.

A round follows a simple loop:

• Collect wood and coins while it is still light.
• Spend them on barricades and on upgrades for your base and your squad.
• Hold the line through the night as the waves get stronger.

Tips

• Resources are what keep you alive here, so use the daylight to gather rather than waiting around the base.
• The waves keep growing, so spread your spending across defences and your squad instead of putting everything into one upgrade.
• Keep your barricades repaired and upgraded, because they buy your squad time when a wave arrives.

If you want more action with a different feel, Day D Tower Rush is also about defending against attackers, and Bloons Tower Defense 2 is a lane-based defence game with careful placement. For something quicker and more reflex-driven, try Helix Jump or Ovo 2.

Zombit suits short sessions on a laptop or a phone. It also rewards players who like planning ahead more than twitch aiming.
