01 / The survivors

Keep moving.
Keep each other alive.

An old Flash game. A new fight through the zombie apocalypse.

Gruge and Vicki are trying to make it through the streets of B-more. Play either survivor, switch between them in solo play, or give each one to a friend in local co-op.

The pair stays at the heart of the game: Gruge’s black jacket and rifle, Vicki’s red mini dress and heels, and two very good reasons to reach the evacuation gate.

How the remake began

02 / In the streets

Painted grit.
Real trouble.

Cracked roads, abandoned cars, shifting light, and infected that do more than shamble toward you.

I

Aim your way out.

Duck and fire. Run and shoot diagonally. Use independent aim to cover the opposite direction without stopping.

II

They fight back.

Blade carriers, gunners, and bomb throwers bring different threats. Break an infected apart and change the fight.

III

The city has layers.

Painted parallax scenery, visible sun and moon, day and night lighting, and a textured B-more city map.

03 / Development journal

Bringing it
back to life.

All journal entries
Combat / Art

One whole sprite. Every angle.

A firing pose should change the way a survivor aims, never their anatomy. Rebuilding running combat and fixing the size jump.

World / Gameplay

Giving B-more its depth.

Clear skies, painted streets, a textured city map, and infected that fight back. Building a world around the first mission.

04 / Before you step outside

Grab a controller.
Or the keyboard.

Play the first mission
What can I play right now?

The developer build includes the first mission through The Streets, with Gruge and Vicki, checkpoints, a shared extraction goal, and the Gun Shop. Other map districts are future routes.

Can two people play together?

Yes—local co-op gives one survivor to each player on the same screen. Use two keyboard layouts or compatible controllers. This build does not have online multiplayer.

How do the controls work?

The game’s Pause menu contains the controls and controller remapping. Solo keyboard play uses the arrow keys to move and aim, W or Space to jump, D or J to fire, X for a grenade, and C to switch survivors. Hold Down to duck; move left or right with Down for an upright diagonal shot.

Will my controller work?

The game supports controllers exposed by your browser’s Gamepad API, with remappable buttons and axes for different layouts. Connect the controller and press a button, then check the controls in Pause.

Do I need fullscreen or an account?

No account is required. The game stays in its own window, with menus inside that window. Fullscreen is optional.

B-more is waiting.

Bring them both home.
