Zombie Death easy mode and settings: make the game gentler
To make Zombie Death easier, open the pause screen and turn on Easy mode. Then, when the zombies get you, you get back up with full health and your game goes on. In the same pause screen you can make the game calmer, quieter or smoother, and change the language.
How to open the settings
Press P or Esc, Start on a controller, or the Pause button at the top right. The game waits while the pause screen is open. The settings are under Settings, and Easy mode is just below them.
Easy mode
The button says Easy mode: off or Easy mode: on. Under it, the game explains: "In easy mode you get back up when the zombies get you."
With easy mode on:
- When your health runs out, you get back up at once with full health (100).
- The zombies close to you go back out and come in again later at the entry spots. You don't get scrap for them yet, but they still count in the wave.
- A line says "Easy mode: you got back up! Keep going."
- Your game is not lost, so your save, scrap and buildings stay.
Everything else stays the same: the waves, the zombies and the costs. You can turn easy mode on or off at any time, even in the middle of a wave. Easy mode is a good choice for younger players, or when you want to see wave 10 and the rescue truck.
All the settings
| Setting | Choices | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | Slider | How loud the whole game is |
| Music | Slider | How loud the music is |
| Sound effects | Slider | How loud the shots and crashes are |
| Sound | On or Off | Turns all sound on or off |
| Moving effects | Like my device, Calm or Full | How much shaking and flashing you see |
| Graphics | Auto, Low, Medium or High | How detailed the picture is |
| Language | Nine languages | The language of all the text |
The settings are saved in your browser and are the same for all three save slots.
Moving effects: Calm
Calm turns off the things that shake or flash:
- no shaking props when they are hit,
- no pulsing orange markers,
- no flash from the pistol,
- a steady red edge on the screen when you are hurt, instead of a red flash,
- the two old lamps stop flickering.
Like my device follows your computer's or tablet's own setting for less motion. Full shows every effect.
Graphics: if the game feels slow
Auto picks a level for your device and makes the picture simpler by itself if the game gets slow. Then a line says "We made the picture a little simpler so the game stays smooth." If the game still feels slow, pick Low. High has the best shadows and light, but needs a strong computer.
Music
The game has three music tracks: a calm one between waves and in build mode, another one during a wave, and a finale for wave 10 and the win. The music is quieter while the pause screen is open. Use the Music slider to make it louder or softer, or Sound: Off for silence.
Languages
Zombie Death speaks nine languages: English, Swedish, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Pick one with Language in the settings.
