How to play Circle Zombie
Nothing here needs explaining twice. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. There is no penalty for failing, so push a little harder than feels safe.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |
| Spacebar | Primary action |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
What makes Circle Zombie stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. A browser game does not need to be more than that.
