Smashlane

Smashlane is a 3D car game that runs in your browser. Seen from above, you drive a yellow car through a container-yard car park while waves of walking zombies come for you, and you smash into them before your health and armor run out.

How to play

1. In the garage, use the arrows beside the car to page through the cars and look at the upgrades.
2. Press START WAVE 1 (or use SELECT WAVE). A WAVE 1 card with a READY! button appears; press it, then wait for GO!
3. Drive with the arrow keys: up moves the car forward, left and right steer it toward the zombies.
4. Watch the red health bar and the blue armor bar at the bottom of the screen. The wave counter is at the top left.
5. When your health is gone, GAME OVER shows DESTROYED ZOMBIES and EARNED COINS, with RESTART and GARAGE buttons.

What you see on screen

• Garage: the car, left and right arrows, upgrade buttons priced at 2,500, 3,500, 5,000 and 10,000, health, armor and attack bars, SETTINGS and a coin counter.
• Yard: a car park with painted lines, stacked containers and a warehouse.
• Bottom: health and armor bars with a pause button between them.

Tips

• Keep moving. In our three tests with no keys pressed the run ended in GAME OVER after about thirty seconds with 0 zombies destroyed.
• Steer the whole time. In three runs where we held the up arrow and alternated left and right, the car was still running after about thirty-two seconds.
• Upgrades cost coins you earn from destroyed zombies; the coin counter starts at 0.
• Read our zombie car game tips for the numbers behind these tips.
