Zombie Kill of the Week: Reborn

Challenging difficulty

A breakneck 2D survival shooter where the goal is not finishing levels but lasting as long as possible against ever more frantic zombie hordes. Points earned from runs let you customize your character.

Zombie Driver HD

Focus on a single character

A fast top-down arcade driving game where you plow through zombie hordes in upgradable cars, complete missions and chase high scores in modes like Slaughter and Blood Race. Heavy on action, explosions and gore rather than deep story.

Windowkill

Challenging difficulty

A twin-stick shooter where the game window itself is the enemy, shrinking and drifting across your desktop. You dodge foes while shooting the window edges to shove it around, a clever twist that plays with the boundaries of the screen.

Zombie Driver

Focus on a single character

An arcade top-down zombie romp where your car is the main weapon: you plow through hordes in timed missions, upgrade vehicles and rescue survivors.

Luftrausers

Challenging difficulty

A frantic arcade plane shooter from Vlambeer where you mix and match weapons, bodies and engines to take down aircraft and ships. Punchy feel, a stylish sepia look and relentless high-score chasing keep you coming back.

Chaos on Wheels

Strong character progression

A chaotic vehicular combat game where you outfit armored cars with weapons, armor and upgrades, then blast through enemy cars, turrets and hazards.

Sky Rogue

Gameplay comes before story

In Sky Rogue you fly through an endless chain of procedurally generated islands, dogfighting enemy aces and assaulting giant carriers. Death is permanent, so every sortie feels tense and arcadey.

20 Minutes Till Dawn

Strong character progression

A tight survivors-style roguelite where you aim and shoot manually against swelling hordes of Lovecraftian horrors. Short 20-minute runs and synergistic upgrades let you craft absurdly powerful builds.
