About the Game

Can you survive the journey? Each trip is a unique adventure into the 2.5D pixel zombie apocalypse, with a new course that you decide. Gain experience and push further into an ever-escalating bullet heavenwhere overwhelming hordes are met with ridiculous amounts of projectiles. Find new characters, figure out the most insane item combinations, and meticulously puzzle them into your backpack for optimal synergy.

Each stop pushes you closer to the final boss; or to that one legendary item combo that melts the undead like butter on a freshly grilled banana. 

Can you find the best loot? Space is limited on your trip. Scavenge for the most ridiculously overpowered loot to cram into your tiny backpack - like any road tripper worth their salt, it’s on you to work packaging magic. Each Weapon and Item takes up blocks in your backpack. Arrange them just right, to have their adjacency effects stack and power up your weapons for ultimate zombie destruction power. 

Recombine and craft your items into more powerful versions or unknown legendary new ones. Become lightning fast and dash between the zombies, or craft your gear into serious firepower that will make the horde crumble before you. Each level-up comes with a free airdrop, that might have just what you need.

Can you find the survivors? The real loot is the friends you make along the way. Fill your base with 10+ eccentric and powerful new characters, who’ll lend you their exceptional talents and unique weaponry. Find, rescue and recruit them all. So a new, completely different journey can begin for each new survivor. Let’s face it, you haven’t truly lived the deadly days apocalypse until you’ve donned the banana suit.

Can you escape the horde? Forget stopping at the rest stop for fries and a burger. On this roadtrip, every stop is a life or death decision. Every trip is different, levels are procedurally-generated and you make the choices.
