Just got to round 25, here's the best strategy I've found: (first of all, since you will eventually max out at six units, try to avoid all brute units and only go for units that have two of either Athlete, Strong, Pro, and Creative, as this is the best possible combo of traits.) Wave 1. Get either bodybuilder, skater, or boxer (we are trying to get all athletes as our first three units) Wave 2. Get another athlete Wave 3. Get the last athlete you need for the trait From this point on, try to focus on filling out other traits as you get new units, one at a time. Creative or Pro would be good ones to get next, as this includes the Assassin who is OP (can one-shot zombies once he gets pro upgrade.) Once you get at least 4 units or maybe five, the absolute best strategy is to stay in one of the bottom corners without moving. You want to put your best units on the outside where most of the zombies are attacking from. After you have all six units (assassin, bodybuilder, boxer, skater, blacksmith, & bouncer) and all 4 traits are unlocked, the best units to put on the outside where zombies are attacking from are the Boxer (very fast), Assassin (one-shots), and Bouncer (affected by all of the 4 traits). Use this strat to survive as many waves as possible. The hardest part of this strategy is surviving waves 5-16 or around there. Once you get the hang of it though, you should breeze through. Hope this helped :)
YES! BTW, it's better to get Bodybuilder in turns 6-8 rather than Boxer because Boxer does 3 damage versus Bodybuilder dealing 5. Also, I love to just stand in a corner with my most powerful guards facing outwards. Movement is really hard when you have a TON of enemies
Boxer has a faster attack speed which allows it to knockback quicker which is why I prefer it, but Bodybuilder also has a larger hitbox. Either method is good, it's just the method I prefer.
I managed to reach round ten after 4-5 hours of cumulated play. After that it was quite easy with the six bodyguards and I went up to round 21 in one go! Thanks for the game!
damn another good one! I echo what folks below say, it's too hard and probly needs a bit more variety/synergy but damn it's super fun and great concept
awesome game! Its crazy hard after the first 7 rounds but its still a fun game to play, my pb is round 9 and im sure i can't reach anything higher than that, but i think the game would better if u added more weapons
I played this game a while (10 ish run), best I could do is 9 round. I wish there was a invincibility frame window after getting hit. Also I don't know how you can avoid being overrun by zombies after a few rounds, there's no path out of a crowd and the bodyguards don't really create one. Cool concept otherwise! Thanks for the game.
i suggest you make the chef cook food every three rounds and use a pan with a carrot on it for a wepon ( the food would do plus 2 damage and run out after one round
super fun game! im impressed by the amount of strategy involved in a relatively short experience, and the gameplay is interesting enough to keep you on your toes even as you get better!
my only suggestion would be to keep the difficulty increasing as it does stagnate after the 6th slot unlock, however the game is already pretty enjoyable as it is, so please dont take that as a complaint! c:
Here is a tip to go further. You should fire some of your old bodyguards and replace them with more expensive ones with at least 2 bonuses. This means that you can get more bonuses while the individual units deal more damage unlike the caveman which only does like 3 base damage.
I got to round 28 with only no pro bonus (somehow legit), and I do have one complaint. After round like 20 when you get the sixth party member, the game feels like it is just a sit still and wait till you die since I don't think you unlock new character slots again, would it be possible to add more party members to use in later rounds?
Maybe like you can spend money to gild a party member to do slightly better or just more party slots.
Agreed about sixth party member and hanging tight. At level 15 or so it seems like I have so much cash and nothing to spend it on.
Upgrading party members could be cool, or introducing rarer body guards with 3 traits, or maybe a special ability I can activate to give me something to do other than incrementally move toward my fencing pro as he cuts a path through the zombies...

Nice Game

round 8!
so fun!!! ilike it!!!! :D
My PB: Round 22. Anyone beat me?
I just tried a new strat and got to round 25. Could def go longer if I had better micro.
My personal guide:
Turn 1: Get Skateboarder, Blacksmith, or the 5 costs, if none are available then die.
Turn 2: Still buy available 5 costs unless you need money for Skateboarder or Blacksmith
Turn 3/4: If you have Assassin in shop and have money; then get him. If not continue turn 2
Turn 5: You should have Skateboarder/Blacksmith, Blacksmith/Assassin and Chef/Guitarist. If you have available capital then get Boxer.
Turns 6-8: Make sure you have Skateboarder, Blacksmith, Assassin, and Boxer.
Turn 9: PRAY
Turn 10: Get Bodybuilder
Turns 11-14: Wait
Turn 15: Get Bouncer (Edit: Instead, replace Boxer and Blacksmith with Guitarist, Goon, and Mall Cop).
Turns 16-???: Wait for inevitable death
Thank you for reading my guide.

can not pass Turn 9
love it. The art style, the gameplay, and everything else is amazing. So simplistic, yet so great.
that's the best web game
brutes make guard big
pro deal double damage
creative all weapons are huge
strong has double knockback
and athlete runs and attacks faster
What does athlete do?
i forgot um oh yeah they run and attack faster sorry for not doing the last part ill fix it
(edit:i did it)
Nice game, one of the ones in whick you experiment to get the best setup for yourself. There is no (or i hadn't found one) winning strategy.
Overall, I pent with this game a lot of time :) ...and i don't regret it
Can you tell me what the font used in this game?
All your games need mods
Which engine did you use for this game? Is this game possible to modify to add more guards?
I used dev tools and there is text "godot" everywhere, so i guess you used godot lol. Can you share this game's source code? pleeeaaasseeeee :p
pls add bosses and a rogulike mechanic
РЦЫЛКЛРОЛЕЕУФЦЦЦЕЗШГГГГ
Nice concept
It's a bit hard tho...
Very cool, reminds me of brotato
I managed to reach round ten after 4-5 hours of cumulated play. After that it was quite easy with the six bodyguards and I went up to round 21 in one go!
Thanks for the game!

Good start. Would really be great if at a bare minimum you could freeze some guys. It's hard to synergize right now.
reached round 8! it gets super addictive

Also I don't know how you can avoid being overrun by zombies after a few rounds, there's no path out of a crowd and the bodyguards don't really create one. Cool concept otherwise! Thanks for the game.
Can you do a tutorial on ytb to create this type of game please
A lot of depth for such simple mechanics. Great job
Omg peashot pa
hopefully you can make this downloadable in the future
what did you use to make this game?
If you speak about the game engine, he use godot engine
The game is fun, the artwork is really neatly well done. Same with the code, here's some suggestions i think that would be good.
- A mode where YOU have to be the bodyguard
- Customize your OWN bodyguard
- Player Market where you can purchase bodyguards that other players have made.
A multiplayer mode and youre friends are the bodyguard or the player
Honestly, all these ideas are great and I think that would make this game better.
thanks.

Yee I like it!
this was the first game i played on itch and wow its amzing! Great work on the game!
Me too. Lol
Creepy, me as well.

awesome game, super cool art and simple but fun
Very unique and enjoyable concept👍
This rock
can you make it to where you can have duplicate people
i got to round 20
Here is a tip to go further. You should fire some of your old bodyguards and replace them with more expensive ones with at least 2 bonuses. This means that you can get more bonuses while the individual units deal more damage unlike the caveman which only does like 3 base damage.
folowed your advice and survived till round 28
how does the round start
I got to round 28 with only no pro bonus (somehow legit), and I do have one complaint.

In any case -- fun game. Enjoyed lots.
