THE BEST OF THE ACTION, DRIVING AND UPGRADE GENRES
You're stranded in a desert surrounded by zombies. With only a run-down car and a small amount of cash at your disposal, your mission soon becomes clear – to drive through hordes of zombies in order to escape… alive!
Earn to Die sees you not only driving your way through hordes of zombies, but allows you to earn cash to upgrade, unlock and customise new vehicles. Is your vehicle not strong enough? Why not add a gun, or boosters, or even a spiked frame?

Community Insight:
Good game worth the money lots of cars and many levels get this game.
This is the best app ever #awsome.
This game awesome guys.buy it, its worth your money.
We like this game so much that we want to play it every second.
Add a lambo and a Bugatti but seriously add updates.
We can't believe how awesome this is, yet we have beat it 30 billion times. Make the story longer.
Fun game, great time killer. And thanks for not adding stupid in-app purchases.
Can you please add more because ive allready beat the game in 1 day so please more.
This game is one of those games when you get bored and want to kill zombies this is the app you want.
Ready for round 2! More vehicles and upgrades as we beat the game in 2-3 hours or so.
We love this game love running over zombies and getting a new vehicle.
We love it but one thing is that it takes forever to get money.
Y'all really need to make an earn to die 2 we have beat the game twice it is sooooo fun please read this and at least think about ti.
This is a very good game but it needs more cars.
This was certainly an enjoyably game to play, although we wish there was a bit more content and that tilting your vehicle actually had significant effect on the outcome. Always glad to see no in app purchases. We bought the game, we want all of the game.
This game is one of the best games we ever played its a time killer and can't wait for new updates.
Love it buy it we've beat the like 16 times should add more maps or something tho.
We got this game a long time ago and we've beat it about 100 times and it's still very fun.
If they would just update this game and then continue updating it to add more new levels and features this game would make the Top paid apps list on the AppStore. Cuz this is a must have app. Very fun and addicting.
We like how you get to upgrade your Car and get different Automobiles.
We definitely recommend this game it's great.
It is good for killing time but could use a few updates.
It was a pretty fun game. We finished it pretty quickly, but it's taken our fiance 2+ weeks. It was worth 99C. Great way to pass a little time.
GOOD GAME BUT NEEDS MORE LEVELS PLZ.
We like the game and so do our kids when is the next one coming out kind of left on a cliffhanger.
This game is totally awesome. We do wish there were more cars, but other than that, 5 stars.
Nothin to say just a awesome game.
Please make more levels we beat this game in a half and hour. Otherwise the game is great.
We really love this game cx but it needs more levels and cars but it still kn of the best games ever :D.
This is a great game. Love playing this with our great grandson.
Love this game! Uber addicting.
This is AMAZING!!!! But needs a update. Evryone wants new levels,vecles, and upgrades plz do a update.P:S worth the 99.
Great app for people who love zombies+cars+going fast.
The challenge are a great to play, but you guys should make Earn to die to. We hope you make the next game or part. (Thx hope you catch that).
Best game of our life grate price but needs more missions and cars. You need to make part 2.
One of the best time killers out there for cheap. The satisfaction of running offer zombies is great.
Good game hope they add more cars and levels.
Amazing game anyone who loves zombies should get.
Funny and well made game for killing time. We like how the zombies can catch up to you and hang on to your car even though you're going 60mph. Only downsides are it's kinda repetitive sometimes since you gotta play the same level over and over to get upgrades or buy a new car, but the progressive difficulty as you go through the game is well designed so it's not too easy. Pretty satisfying too to kill all the zombies.
This game we had on our 3 and now we have a 4 on our three the game was fun and it didn't take us that long to best maybe the first 2 zones but after the third or fourth it got hard for us but that's us but overall this game is fun and addicting to play.
This is an awesome game and well worth the 99 cents. The graphics and sound are amazing, but it could use updates with more vehicles and upgrades. We beat the game in about 2 hours.
It is fun and we like how you move to different city's and we like how you get different cars. Also it is not a lot if money.
The game is so fun that we are almost finish with the game.
Awesome game. Great concept but lacks in content and ends quickly. Updates Please.
Who doesn't want to kill zombies and drive a car earn to gta.
And also needs more upgrades and.
We like the game, it's fun and keeps us entertained… For an hour or two. We downloaded it and beat the whole game in about an hour and a half. If there was just more missions in story mode it would be more fun.
This game is great though the controls are like the first pac-man games but its fun and nobody wouldn't like it.it needs more levels though we might use this concept in one of our Atari games.
Zombies can sprint 100mph apparently.
It's a great game but there's one thing that could be added: the ability to purchase money. Sometimes we get stuck and need extra money and it takes a while to get it.
