Zombie Derby

Zombie Derby - Play Online

Apocalypse racing? Check. Undead roadkill? Check. Zombie Derby is a side-scrolling physics racer where fuel is your lifeline. Run out, and you're dead meat. Mash the gas. Crush zombies. Reach the next checkpoint before your tank hits zero.

How to Play Zombie Derby

The mission is survival. Drive as far as possible. Each zombie you flatten earns points. Each hill you climb drains fuel. Stop moving? Game over. Your goal: reach the next checkpoint, upgrade your ride, repeat.

Core Driving Mechanics

Press W or Arrow Up to accelerate. Tilt forward with Right Arrow or D. Tilt backward with Left Arrow or A. Physics rule everything. Land nose-first on a steep hill? You'll flip. Keep the wheels balanced. Use Spacebar to shoot zombies blocking the path. Fire through crates for extra points.

Nitro Boost Strategy

Hit Left Shift or N to trigger nitro. Don't waste it on flat roads. Save nitro for massive hills or deadly gaps. One bad jump = stranded truck. One good boost = 500 meters closer to safety. Watch the gauge. It refills slow.

Fuel Management

Fuel drains constant. No stops. No refills mid-run. Speed costs gas. Hills cost more. Big air? Even worse. Monitor the fuel/speedometer combo gauge. When it hits red, you've got seconds. Plan your route. Sacrifice speed to conserve fuel on long stretches.

Upgrade Loop

Earn points by crushing zombies. 20 points per kill. Return to the garage. Upgrade the Engine for speed. Upgrade the Fuel Tank for distance. Upgrade Weapons to clear swarms faster. Each checkpoint unlocks harder terrain. More zombies. Steeper hills. Better rewards.
