How to Play Earn to Die
1. Start Your Run
You begin each “day” behind the wheel of your initial vehicle fragile, underpowered, but your only hope. Tap accelerate and start barreling across the zombie littered terrain. The goal: go as far as possible before fuel runs out or you crash.
2. Smash and Earn
Zombies and obstacles yield cash when hit or destroyed. Every bit of progress adds to your earnings, even if your run ends early. Focus on maximizing distance and zombie collisions to bank better funds.
3. Return to Garage
Once fuel depletes or you’re immobilized, the run ends, and you’re transported back to the upgrade screen. Your earnings unlock new upgrades or vehicles, setting the stage for a stronger next attempt.
4. Strategize Upgrades
Spend your cash wisely:
- Fuel Tank – Extends your run, giving more opportunity to ram zombies.
- Engine – Boosts power for tackling hills and obstacles.
- Transmission/Tires – Enhance traction and speed.
- Weapons & Armor – Add offensive and defensive capabilities.
- Boosters/Rocket Engine – Provide bursts of speed at critical moments.
Prioritize fuel and engine early. Boost later once you’ve gained momentum and distance.
5. Master Vehicle Physics
Balance is key. Use tilt controls to shift your vehicle forward or backward:
- Tilt backward when hitting obstacles to absorb impact.
- Launch off ramps by combining tilt and boost to clear hazards mid-air.
- Avoid flipping your vehicle—it’s costly and cuts your run short.
6. Progress and New Vehicles
Reach checkpoints to unlock heavier, more capable vehicles like heavy rigs or armoured transports. These bring new challenges (like weight and handling quirks) but reward you with greater power and momentum.
7. Replay for Perfection
Each run teaches new terrain nuances and upgrade paths. Refine your build, timing, and route learning when to boost, lean, or smash—to reach farther and survive longer.
