Nightwalkers.io is a zombie apocalypse game created by JeFawk's Spaghettorium where players must work together, use various weapons, and build defenses to fend off the hordes of zombies, which become progressively harder as the game continues. It is a popular game, with more than 800 monthly players
Homepage[]
The homepage has a tutorial for beginners to the left of the game entrance button and an invite to the Discord server to the right. The page is designed to look post-apocalyptic.
Gameplay[]
Players will spawn with a pistol, which has infinite ammo. Upon shooting the crates scattered all over the map, they can collect different types of ammo, which appear as the gun they fire from. Players can also receive health packs from these crates, though trash cans have a 100% chance of dropping those. Players can shoot benches and lamp posts to construct obstacles, which zombies will attack. Players can also shoot zombies, which can rarely drop weapons. Some zombies have more health, speed, or damage than others. Zombies attack by emitting a red field, which damages players. Zombies also use melee to damage players and obstacles. Anything a player shoots gives XP, which can level up to unlock better weapons and more building slots.
Occasionally, a dev gives everyone a rideable wolf (called Wuf) for ten minutes. This wolf gives players increased speed and jumping activates his ability which damages zombies in proximity. Players can mount and dismount him using the N keyboard button.
Apocalypse[]
Apocalypse is a mini-event that progressively gets more and more difficult every few minutes. By wave 10 of Apocalypse, large, strong, durable scorpion-like monsters can spawn, which appear as red skulls on the minimap.
Noise[]
Noise is a unique mechanic that players generate by moving, shooting, or building. Standing still can also generate noise. Noise attracts zombies; the more you move, the more will attack. This is especially dangerous during apocalypse mode if one does not have a Wuf.
Flamethrowers and Bases[]
There are three bases, situated in a horizontal line at about the middle of the map. Flamethowers have a long recharge time but deal immense damage and are invincible. As such, players generally congregate around these and construct bases out of obstacles. The leftmost base consists of a medical tent and two flamethowers. The medical tent doesn't have a purpose right now.
Cosmic Dust[]
Cosmic Dust is a features that only works if adblocker is turned off. Cosmic Dust comes from shooting or standing on purple mushroom-like objects that randomly spawn. Cosmic Dust can unlock very useful things like 50 extra building slots or 25 extra health packs.
Minimap[]
The Minimap shows the locations of you (as a white triangle), other players (as green circles), and zombies (as red circles). Bosses are shown as red skulls. The minimap is in the top right corner.
