## In short

Smashlane is a 3D car game seen from above. Drive a yellow car through a container-yard car park with the arrow keys, smash waves of walking zombies before your health and armor run out, and buy upgrades such as a bumper, wheel spikes, a saw and a wrecking ball with in-game coins.

**How to control it:** In the garage press START WAVE 1, then READY! and wait for GO!. Drive with the arrow keys: up moves forward, left and right steer toward the zombies. Watch the red health bar and the blue armor bar at the bottom. When your health is gone, press RESTART to try again or GARAGE to go back and look at the upgrades, which cost the game's own coins.
