Undead Avenue

Overview

Undead Avenue is a zombie lane survival game with alternating preparation and defense. You begin with five hearts, a small supply of wood and ammunition, and a street bordered by searchable houses. Each day gives you twenty-five seconds to gather resources and strengthen barricades. Night brings zombies from the right, and you must stop them before they cross the left boundary. Contact with an enemy can also cost a heart, so standing directly in the advancing crowd is dangerous even when the defenses behind you remain intact.

The objective is to survive seven nights. Later waves bring more enemies and tougher variants, while a shotgun becomes available on day four. Surviving one wave earns points and starts the next preparation period. There is no separate base-health bar to protect: breaches and personal injuries both draw from the same heart reserve.

How to Play

Choose Start, then move with the arrow keys or WASD. By day, approach a house doorstep and press Space to search it. Each successful search consumes a loot charge and gives wood, sometimes with ammunition. Walk beside a barricade post and press B to spend three wood on one hundred points of reinforcement. A post can hold up to three hundred health.

At night, Space attacks with the selected weapon. Use 1 for the plank, 2 for the pistol and 3 for the shotgun once unlocked. Attacks face the direction you last moved horizontally. The plank costs no ammunition but requires close range; the pistol spends one round, while the shotgun spends three. If ammunition is insufficient, the game switches back to the plank.

On a phone, tap a street location to walk toward it or hold the direction buttons. Use performs the same context-sensitive search or attack, and Build reinforces a nearby post. Keyboard players can press P to pause or resume and R to restart. Play Again also begins from the first day after an ending.

Tips & Strategy

Make your first preparation trip purposeful. Collect supplies at a doorstep, then return toward a post with enough time to build before night falls. Repeated searches are possible while a house still has charges, but emptying every house immediately can leave you far from the defenses. Watch wood and ammunition separately: building cannot replace the rounds needed for sustained ranged attacks.

Defend more than the middle lane. Three posts cover specific positions, while enemies can arrive on other paths. A barricade delays a matching enemy rather than sealing the whole street. Use that delay to shoot from a safe distance, then reposition when another lane is threatened. Turn toward the enemy before firing, since the weapon does not automatically aim at the nearest target.

Keep a reserve of hearts by avoiding unnecessary contact. A zombie that slips past costs a heart even if it never touches you. The plank is useful when conserving ammunition, but closing to its short reach invites injuries. When the shotgun unlocks, remember that each trigger pull consumes three rounds; using it without checking the ammunition display can leave you unexpectedly holding the plank.

What Makes It Distinct

Preparation and combat share one small street. The same action button changes purpose between day and night, and the same limited wood stock must fund every reinforcement. Seven nights create a clear survival target without requiring an account, online teammates or outside resources.
