Outbreak Block
About Outbreak Block: Top-Down Zombie Base Defense
Outbreak Block puts you in command of a single city block, surrounded by a round wall, as zombie hordes close in night after night. The game plays from a top-down perspective, blending base-building strategy with horde survival across a day-night cycle. During daylight hours the block is yours to develop; once darkness falls, the undead pour in from the map's edges and your defenses take over automatically. Reaching night 10 and defeating the Abomination boss marks a clear victory condition, after which endless mode opens for those who want to keep pushing.
