7 itemsAbout the Game
Step 1
When you start the game you have been deposed from your kingdom, left for dead in a swamp, and your riches spread across the land.
You are dead and you have no body parts. No eyes. No ears. Not even legs.
Step 2
You have a very limited amount of life force. You can only go so far and jump so high.
Before you die collect as much gold as possible.
Step 3
Use the gold that you collected and buy your body parts back.
When you buy eyes you get color vision. When you get your ears you can hear. If you want to run further you buy a longer health meter.
SIDE NOTE: There are no microtransactions or IAP!
Step 4
As you upgrade your corpse you can get further and further.
Step 5
Buy advanced upgrades such as wall-jump, shields, and spike resistant boots.
Step 6
Explore! The world of Return of the Zombie King is huge with over 4 environments, and 100 levels.
