Mud, Mortars & Zombies

The trenches of the First World War fell silent overnight. No treaty was signed, but humanity's common enemy had shown up: ZOMBIES.

The guns stopped pointing at each other and turned on the dead. And you were picked to stand at the front and mark the targets. Your arsenal? Everything the nations have to offer.

Fire the flare, then wait
Your guns sit off the map and reload on their own. Your job is the flare gun. Mark a patch of mud and the shell is already on its way — it just needs a moment. Aim at the column and you plough empty ground behind it. Aim where the column is about to be, and it stops existing.

Every weapon behaves differently. Learning the call-in times is most of the skill.

Unlock maps and new battlefields
Every map means more zombies, more problems and more supplies for you, Commander.
Revisit them as often as you like every zombie less is good news for humanity!

You cannot lose
Get overrun and you still get your supplies. No defeat screen, no restart, nothing taken back. The front moves at whatever pace you can afford, and humanity waits to be saved.

The arsenal of a world war
Every nation hands you its best weapons: artillery, mortars, machine guns, aircraft, incendiaries and a creeping barrage. Each weapon is unlocked separately and then improved on its own terms:
Damage — what a single shell is worth

Blast radius — how much of the column it takes with it

Accuracy — how close to the flare it actually lands

Cooldown — how often it fires

Call-in time — how far ahead you have to think

Five kinds of problem
Conscripts walk in a straight line and die on schedule

Tin Hats soak up more than they have any right to

Runners move faster than your shells would like

Quartermasters burst into Runners when they fall

Horizon Blues ignore shrapnel completely only gas and fire finish them

Around a hundred nodes deep
Weapons, time, economy and base upgrades all live in the same tree. At the start you can see exactly one node. Carve your own path through the upgrades.

Features
Off-map guns aimed with a flare shells travel, so you lead the target

One currency and one thing to buy: time. Everything else follows from it

Diffrent Maps with diffrent Weather and Zombie as well as Wave ammount

Five zombie types and more to come

Around a hundred skill tree nodes covering weapons, time, economy and base

No fail state and no reset nothing you earn is ever taken back

Good luck, Commander.
