📖 HOW TO PLAY

🪳💀🧟

SURVIVE THE CAVE

You're trapped deep underground on Mars. Zombies and giant cockroaches spawn in waves and hunt you down.

Your job is simple — stay alive as long as possible and rack up kills. Each wave gets bigger and nastier.

💡 Tip: Waves pause briefly between rounds — use that time to heal up and grab supplies.
🕹️

MOVE & LOOK

💻 Desktop: W A S D to walk, move your mouse to look around, Space to jump. Click the screen first to lock your mouse.

📱 Phone / Tablet: Use the on-screen D-pad (bottom left) to walk. Drag the right side of the screen to look around. Tap 🦘 to jump, 🔫 to shoot.

🔫

SHOOT ENEMIES

Make sure slot 1 (⛏ Pickaxe) or any weapon is selected, then Left Click to shoot at enemies.

Aim at the glowing red-eyed zombies and brown cockroaches. They move fast — keep moving while you shoot!

💡 Tip: Cockroaches are quick and low to the ground. Aim slightly downward when shooting them.

PICK UP SUPPLIES

Glowing cubes scattered around the cave are supplies. Walk over them to pick them up automatically.
