Zombies Per Minute is a factory-building roguelite where everything you build is measured by one thing: how many zombies you can kill per minute. Yes, really. Use your imagination to grow your factory, make decisive choices each wave and progress from one outpost to the other. Until Earth is saved.
Zombies Per Minute
SteamBuild your own zombie-shredding factory.

Zombies Per Minute is a factory-building roguelite where everything you build is measured by one thing: how many zombies you can kill per minute. Yes, really.

All runs are different, depending on the maps, buildings, upgrades and operators you unlock when you succeed building high-ZPM outposts.
Your mission: build, survive, automate, and push your ZPM as high as it'll go. And it can go... VERY high.

Every game starts from scratch. Scout the area to decide what to build, where you'll setup your defenses and what kind of resources you have access to.

An operator is fast, but cannot do everything manually. You'll need to automate and scale your small outpost into a huge, massive zombie shredder. The factory must grow. And it must grow fast.

Set and arm your perimeter depending on the map geography and also we heard some zombies have mutated, whatever that means. You might need bigger guns. Oh and keep the ammunition flowing.

We don't know what happened on Earth. Analyzing Zombies' DNA might help us receive CPU Upgrades for the Operator. Pick wisely, as you can only choose 6 upgrades.

Every outpost helps us learn more about what happened. New buildings, new areas, new upgrades and even new operators can be unlocked or improved; helping us venture deeper and deeper.
