How to play

5×3 reels, 243 ways, cascades. A win is 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols (or Wilds) on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel.
Winning symbols explode and new ones drop in. Every cascade doubles the win multiplier: ×1, ×2, ×4 … up to ×256 (shown on top of the reels). It applies to the symbol wins and zombie kills of that cascade — in the boss fight too.
Scatter (at most one per reel): 3 / 4 / 5 scatters give 5 / 10 / 15 free spins. They are played in the base game to help clear the Horde and carry on into the boss fight.
A weapon win flies to the hero, who fires it at the zombies right away. Rounds = weapon base × length (3 → ×1, 4 → ×2, 5 → ×3) + 1 per Wild in the win.
After all cascades the zombies take one step toward the electric fence. A zombie that reaches the fence burns — no payout for it.
Kill the whole Horde to start the boss fight. Hordes grow: 790 / 860 / 940 / 1020 / 1100 zombies.
Progress is saved for every bet level separately and never expires.
Maximum win: 5000× bet per spin — killing the boss always pays it.

Symbol	What it does
♦ ♣ ♥ ♠	Low symbols (aces), coin wins only
Pistol	7 rounds × 1 damage at the nearest zombie
Shotgun	4 blasts; each hits the target and the 3 cells behind it for 1 damage
Rifle	11 rounds × 1 damage, fast burst
Sniper	2 shots × 3 damage at the highest-level monster on the field; breaks shields at once
Minigun	18 rounds × 1 damage
RPG	2 rockets: 4 damage to the target, 2 to the 3×3 area
Wild	Ammo Box — substitutes all paying symbols, +1 round to the weapon win
Double Ammo	+1 point on the skill panel (max 3): doubles the rounds of one weapon win
Explosive	+1 point (max 3): every round of one weapon win kills in one hit (not the boss)
Flash Grenade	Goes off at once — zombies don't move this turn. Extra grenades wait on the panel (max 3) and go off at the start of the next spins.

Skill points are spent one per weapon win, strongest weapon first.

Level	HP	Movement / trait
L1	2	1 cell forward
L2	3	1 cell diagonally
L3	4	2 cells forward
L4	5	1 cell forward; splits into two L1 when killed
L5	6 + 3 shield	1 cell forward; the shield is extra HP
Chicken	1	Kamikaze: 3 random steps a turn, dynamite blast on death (3×3), charges the airstrike, runs away after 5 spins
Boss	520	1 row every 2 spins; throws 2–4 zombies into the cells next to it every 2–3 spins; 5 HP segments pay as they break; killing it pays the max win

The Horde has 5 stages: at stage N only L1…LN appear, mostly LN.
Some zombies carry a multiplier badge (×2 … ×500) that multiplies their own reward.
If the field is cleared mid-spin, 3 rows of zombies rush in from the fog.

Airstrike: 5 killed chickens call a plane that bombs the nearest row with zombies and the two rows behind it.
Boss fight: the reward for clearing the Horde. It is played with normal spins (plus any free spins left). Killing the boss pays the max win; if it reaches the fence, only the broken segments stay paid.
