Slap a Zombie
The basic gameplay loop
StepWhen you join a game, zombies start appearing on the map. Click them to deal damage and knock them off the edge. Each zombie you defeat drops cash, which you spend on gloves and upgrades.
- Click zombies attack them to push them toward the edge of the map
- Collect cash every defeated zombie drops in-game currency
- Spend your cash on gloves with special powers
- Upgrade your glove put more cash into it to raise its strength
Gloves and how they evolve
TipsEach glove has its own special ability, and those abilities get stronger as you pour cash into upgrades. Two gloves with named roles in the game are the Spark Glove and the Rock Glove.
- Every glove has a unique ability that sets it apart from the others
- Upgrading a glove with cash eventually triggers an evolution that adds new powers
- The Spark Glove is needed for high-wave challenges on the Vats map
- The Rock Glove is needed for high-wave survival on Volcano
Playing with friends
SummaryEvery friend you bring into your game adds five percent to the cash you earn. One badge — 4's A Crowd — requires you to have three friends in the room at the same time as you.
- Cash bonus plus five percent per friend in the room
- 4's A Crowd badge need three friends with you at once
Special zombies and bosses
CheckBeyond standard zombies, the game throws in enemies that need specific attention. Two are rare spawns during waves, and two are full boss encounters. Defeating all four earns you separate badges.

- Terminus a boss enemy; defeating it unlocks the Final Destination badge
- Truck a second boss; taking it down earns the Big Rig badge
Maps and wave-survival badges

Common questions
FAQHow does the friend cash bonus work?
Every friend in your game room adds five percent to the cash you earn from defeating zombies.
Why am I not getting the wave-survival badge even though I reached the target wave?
Both the Dark Energy and MEDUSA badges require you to keep the specified glove equipped for the entire run — the Spark Glove for Vats and the Rock Glove for Volcano. If you switched gloves at any point during that run, the condition is not met. Start a fresh run and keep that glove on from wave one.
