Zombie Quarantine

Zombie Quarantine is a maze game in which you guide survivors through complex layouts while containing or curing the infected. Each level has a time limit: a set number of civilians must reach the exit zone, and a set number of zombies must be eliminated. If a zombie reaches the blue area, you lose two points. The game includes more than 20 levels, with a tutorial in the first level.

Characters and hazards

Green characters are army personnel who act as stationary towers and kill any character. Some can kill with one shot; most take about five shots. White characters are scientists who can cure zombies back into civilians. Their curing range is about one and a half halls, and a zombie affected by a scientist takes about three seconds to become a civilian. Some levels also have wooden barricades that only zombies can attack and destroy.

Directing the units

You click walls to make paths safe or unsafe for the characters. Units change direction at certain corners and T-sections, and when they hit a wall or another unit. Isolating individual units quickly and holding them back for later can help control the pace; level 5 tests this tactic.

Every level has an optional alternate camera view and a level code. You can switch between the alternate and main camera views. Buttons at the top of the screen let you end the game or reset the current level, and pressing Esc opens the save and load menu.
