Hype Lawn
A five-lane stand against the zombie horde. Scrap builds up on its own — spend it on Blasters that fire down their row, Walls that soak the bite, and Collectors that pay for themselves. Hold your house across escalating waves; every zombie dropped and every wave cleared pays Neons.
Zombie Lane Defense Game: how to play, rules & tips
Play a free online Zombie Lane Defense Game: in Hype Lawn the horde shuffles across a five-lane yard toward your house, and you plant defenders in their path. Spend Scrap wisely and hold the house through wave after wave.
How to play the Zombie Lane Defense Game
The yard is 5 rows by 9 columns. Zombies enter at the right end of a random row and walk left toward your house. You get a few seconds before the first wave starts.
Scrap builds up on its own. Pick a tool from the bar, then tap an empty tile to place it. The Blaster costs 25 Scrap, the Wall costs 15 and the Collector costs 20. The Shovel removes one of your own defenders for free, but you get no Scrap back.
A zombie that reaches the house damages it. Your house starts with 100 HP, and the run ends when it falls. Press Restart to try again at any time.
Defenders, zombies and waves
The Blaster fires a pellet down its own row at the closest zombie in front of it. The Wall has no attack but lots of health: a zombie that meets it stops and works on it until it breaks. The Collector adds Scrap on a timer and raises your Scrap income for as long as it stands.
Zombies also stop to attack any defender in their way, not just Walls. Three kinds appear. Walkers come first. Faster, frailer runners can join from wave 2, and slow, very tough brutes from wave 4.
Each new wave has more zombies, and they are tougher and arrive closer together. There is a short break between waves. Your score comes from zombies stopped and waves survived, and it pays Neons.
Zombie Lane Defense Game tips
- Place a Collector or two in the back column early. Extra Scrap in the first waves pays for everything after.
- Put at least one Blaster in every lane before doubling up. Zombies pick their lane at random.
- Put Walls in front of your Blasters, not behind them. A zombie stuck on a Wall is a free target.
- Stack extra Blasters in a lane where a brute shows up. One Blaster alone takes a long time to stop it.
- Keep some Scrap in reserve during a wave so you can patch a lane that breaks.
