The core loop from floor to floor

Step

In short Every run follows the same rhythm — clear the floor, collect money, upgrade, then climb.

Each floor throws waves of zombies at you, and you have to wipe them all out before the game lets you move up. Killing zombies drops money, and that money is the fuel for everything else in the game. The tower layout is randomly generated every run, so the enemy placement and floor order will never be exactly the same twice.

Start the run you begin with a starting weapon.
Clear each wave shoot every zombie on the floor.
Collect the money enemies drop cash when they die.
Buy or upgrade spend your money on new weapons or improve the ones you have.
Climb to the next floor once the floor is clear, head up and repeat.
Reach the bosses five powerful bosses wait for you further up the tower.

Smart early-game spending

Check

In short Your starting weapon is good enough to earn your first upgrades.

When you first start out, stick with your starting weapon long enough to understand enemy patterns on the lower floors. Once money starts stacking up, think about whether a new weapon suits your playstyle before committing.

Have you looked at what the next weapon up would offer before spending.
Have you checked what conditions unlock camos, so you can work toward them naturally.

Weapons, upgrades, and attachments

Table

In short Pick the weapon type that fits how you play, then push its upgrades as far as your money allows.

The game gives you several weapon types, each with different values for power, fire rate, and magazine size. Attachments let you customize individual weapons further, adjusting their performance to suit specific situations.

High single-shot damage	strong when you need burst power against bosses.
High fire rate	clears groups of regular zombies quickly.
Balanced stats	handles the variety of enemies the random tower can produce.
Special-effect weapons	useful against specific zombie types.
Attachments	add-ons that fine-tune a weapon's performance beyond its base stats.

Surviving boss fights

Tips

In short Spend everything you have on upgrades before a boss fight, then spend your first seconds watching, not shooting.

Each of the five bosses has its own attack style, so what works on one will not automatically work on the next. Going into a boss fight with underleveled weapons is the most common reason players lose.

Tips worth knowing

Upgrade your weapons fully with any money you have left before the boss fight.
Spend the first few seconds of the fight watching the boss move before you commit to attacking.
Balance dodging and shooting.
If you lose, practice that same boss on Normal mode until the pattern sticks.
Only move to Hard or Extreme after you can beat all five bosses on Normal consistently.

Hard and Extreme mode readiness

Warn

In short One mistake in Extreme mode can end a run, so come in prepared.

Hard and Extreme modes are where the game tests everything you have learned. Multiplayer changes the challenge too — more players means tougher enemies, so know your team size before you start.

Worth watching out for

Jumping into Hard before you can clear Normal bosses reliably will waste your run.

Going in with under-upgraded weapons on Extreme is nearly impossible to recover from.

Playing with more people raises enemy strength, so coordinate with your group first.

Common questions

FAQ

Which difficulty should a new player start on?

Start on Normal. Move to Hard or Extreme only after you can clear all five bosses on Normal.

Will I ever get the exact same tower twice?

No — the tower is randomly generated at the start of every run, so the floor layout and enemy placement will always be different.

Does playing with friends make the game harder?

Yes, the enemy difficulty scales with the number of players in the session.

What should I do if I keep losing to the same boss?

Use any remaining money to upgrade your weapons before you try again. Then focus your next attempt on watching the boss's attack timing rather than just shooting.
