Sandbox City
About Sandbox City
Sandbox City - Cars, Zombies, Ragdolls! drops you into a bustling metropolis where ordinary citizens share the streets with zombies that can attack people or blend in as regular passersby. The goal is to find and eliminate the infected before the zombie outbreak spreads and consumes the city. Along the way, your character buys a house, steals cars, completes missions to save residents, and takes on the chaos with an arsenal of weapons ranging from baseball bats to sniper rifles.
The game pairs an open-world structure with a clear mission system and a retro visual style. One scene shows a green four-door car sitting in the middle of a multi-lane asphalt road, and another captures a humanoid figure in a dark suit mid-swing with a light-colored wooden bat. A red fire hydrant stands on a gray sidewalk beside a blue car with two white racing stripes in one street-level view.

FAQ
What is the main goal in Sandbox City?
The core objective is to find and eliminate zombies before the infection spreads through the city. Your character buys a house, completes missions to save residents, and uses weapons and stolen cars to stop the chaos.
How do zombies behave in the city?
Zombies roam the streets alongside ordinary citizens and can attack people or successfully disguise themselves as regular passersby, making them harder to spot.
How do you earn and spend money?
Eliminating zombies earns in-game money, and bonuses scattered on city streets add to your total. That money goes toward upgrading gear, vehicles, and character appearance through the shop.
What do the power-ups do and how long do they last?
Each of the three power-ups lasts 2 minutes. Speed Boost increases movement speed, Money Pickup Multiplier doubles cash from pickups, and Health Boost raises your maximum health to 150.

Yes. Press T to enter Slo-Mo mode and press T again to exit it.
