Z Machine

Z Machine is a zombie-squashing contraption puzzle where brains, not the zombies', win the day. Each level drops shuffling zombies into a course and hands you springboards, crushers, fans and glue tiles to place before the horde arrives, then presses play while your machine does the work, because placement beats reflexes here. Routing the undead through your traps efficiently earns stars, and leftover budget rewards elegant designs over brute force. Later waves mix runner zombies, armoured bruisers and split paths that demand multi-tool thinking. Inventive, funny, strategic. Free to play in any browser.
