What Makes Farming Dead – Idle Zombies Stand Out
Ever wanted to have zombies, many zombies, and see them infect the world? Well, then let's go farming dead! Farm zombies for fun and profit in this relaxing idle simulation game!
Start from the bottom with a cute zombie and with big dreams of achieving zombie domination. Tap n' swipe to collect viruses, spawn zombies, buy upgrades and repeat. It's simple as that. There are many hilarious zombies to unlock and humorous upgrades to buy.
The more viruses you spend for upgrades the more viruses they produce for you. There's no progress without sacrifice, so you regularly need to sacrifice your zombies to keep gaining even more. Just chop their heads off and see how the production goes up! Hire beautiful babes for mega boosts. Your zombies will love them! Get and feed cute pets and… oh no, poor little pets when they become big and juicy… they will help in infecting the world! To infect humans you will need to extract cells from zombies. Get the dust off the extractor and squeeze as many cells as possible from every zombie.

Community Insight:
Anyone else struggling with the size of the game being larger than the screen? Help? Thanks.
GIVE ME FREE 2500 coins or power pls.
Fun game but always crashes when we try to connect to Facebook. We deleted app and downloaded it and it still crashes.
We start. We love this game. But we cant seem to upgrade our extractor and there seems to be left over viruses we dont receive when we collect. Frustrating. Ive used the help button given to report problems but received no response. But all that being said this is a very enjoyable game. And we completely appreciate the recent update. So glad they lowered the price of epic blocks. So we will continue to play and hope to get help or further instructions.
We dont normally right reviews but this is a major scam of your time. It is literally the same exact thing as idle farming and the game just goes too slow. We hope this gets on the front add section because this game is plainly terrible.
Im on the IPhone XR and we cant even get past the tutorial because the game goes past our screen bounds.
Im addicted to this game. We love idle games and we love anything involving zombies. So this game is the perfect mixture. Only reason it doesnt get 5 stars is there isnt an upgrade max option. After a certain point, it takes forever to upgrade all the zombies and all the stat upgrades. Please add this option in.
Every time we try to serve popcorn or watch a video to get a free spin, the ad lags and crashes the app. Its made the game entirely unplayable for us. Sad, because its a cute game.
We have been watching our score compared to others for two weeks now and at the end of the week, it stated we did not participate for that week. What do we have to do? We have missed out twice now… Other than that, it is a fun game with plenty of chances to build up, earn coins and collect viruses. We would score higher if the war bug wasnt there.
The game overall is good. But war aspect is bit of joke. You have player scoring 300k in matter if few hours. Rkmnd wins every week but when you have 200-300k in first couple of hours after war session starts it not to surprising. He wont score that many points the rest of war session unless someone else runs number ups too. Try and contact anyone results in getting no response. We tried thru app and on Facebook and no one ever replied. The last couple of weeks players who never been in top 10 are popping into 2-3 places. We saved up 800 gold and used to get 8 day of viruses ten times and still only managed 5 place. Where for weeks we got 3-4th place. We give it 5 star they corrected the issue of people cheating and customer service.
It wont let us connect to Facebook because its still in development. So far its a good game. Starts off pretty slow but over all time consuming. Once we play it more Ill update the review.
Its an ok game. Wouldnt give it 5 stars, only did it for game bonus. It is slow. You have to be patient.
We were really enjoying the game and was regularly top 5 in the Wars. Well it seems like Ive unlocked all of the zombies all the way up to 5 stars and now we cant open up ANY zomboxes. Its super upsetting since Ive put a lot of time into this game and opening the zomboxes is the best way to earn coins. Please fix.
We did this for the cough cough.
We watch a lot of ads to get corn which helps to gain zombies. Ive been playing for a Month or so and we still enjoy it.
Ive been playing the game for a good amount of time, we like the aspect but we dont like how long it takes for things to go through, like feeding like twice a day, nobody can go on their thing and feed them all the time. Also the cops are annoying, take way to long to die. This is a honest customer review.
Im deleting for the repetitive ads, the soldiers that come very 10 hours, sexism, and time.
We don't know why some people are crying about this game. We've enjoyed it and so far have not spent any monies on it.
It is a bit slow but this game is fun to come and check on every once and a while and there are more features it this game than other games like it, including pets and stuff.
Very addicting keeps the time going.
Came back to app after some time and our progress had reverted hours. Not worth playing an idle game that nullifies your progress.
Ive been playing this for a few weeks now. Enjoyable to go back to a couple of times a day to collect and upgrade items.
We can put away our our spinner toy and play this! Yay! Until we drain the battery in our iPad that is. Then we just switch to our iPhone! Until the battery in that sucker goes. Then hopefully the iPad is recharged! OoO lol! The game gets better and better! We are not a patient person, but this is actually worth it. Thank you.
Seriously an addicting game!!! We play off and on all day.
It's weirdly addictive, but we love to play this game. Our family is even playing it too. It's a competition between us.
Very addicting love our zombies but wont give us epic zombies even tho we rated game.
We really enjoyed Zombie Farm so it's great to have something to replace it. This is game is fun. It takes a long time to purchase all the plots. This game is not going to be finished in a couple of hours, think in terms of weeks.
Fun game can pick whenever you want and leave whenever you want.
Awesome game idea. Definitely didn't expect it to be this addicting.
We initially downloaded this game to play along with our elementary aged son. With colorful graphics and a 4+ age rating we figured a silly time killer. All be it, we are no prude but the sexy stuff is a bit overkill. Between the awkward family guy ads, belly dancer beckoning come play with us and trashy zombie girlfriends we no longer let our kid play this game. We think it should have pg 13 type rating. The game is a good distraction for ourselves but there is a lot going on and really no details on how it all works together.
Was enjoying it until some zombies died. It then costs the in game currency to revive them. Forces you to purchase. Not interested if we cant accomplish everything for free.
Interested in the different zombies but the randomness of the zomboxes leaves room for desire.
We play this so often we forget im playing it for hours.
Ive never played a game like this before and its kind of silly but we love it and am addicted to it.
Easy game play; great for wasting a few min while waiting for whatever.
Well crafted game zero glitches smooth game play. The wheel spin thing doesn't really fit in the game.
Awesome game take time but we like that in a game.
Fun game, slow progression toward the end, we'd recommend to others who like these sorts of games.
Good idle game. Game loves fast when you get the 9th zombie. So save your coins. You need them for when you get that far.
Similar premise to other games with farming/upgrading plots but with some significant differences. So far, this game takes a bit longer to make money and upgrade and earn skulls (things you need to restart). Frustrating lol but makes you more gratified when you finally do restart. Theres something about infecting the earth as well but theres not much to do on that yetmy one complaint-and this is big for now- is that we dont always receive our reward (both double and coin) after watching the video. This happens quite frequently unfortunately. Other than that, great start.
This game is really good and is super addictive can't stop playing.
A little different than most tapper/prestige games.
Getting new zombies is hard you have a chance of getting the same part and its a waste of the zombie box Also the animal zombies dont do anything special they do the same as the regular zombies unless we cant figure it out what do they do.
We saw the words Zombie and Farm and we got so excited. That game was amazing. We remember playing it all the time growing up. It was an app game where you could Farm zombies on your farm. You could add farm decorations and furniture, you could grow carrot, pumpkin corn zombies, etc. Then the best part was you could Farm different zombies. You would mix and match zombies together, like mixing DNA. Combine a small Zombie with a pumpkin Zombie. Small pumpkin Zombie. We wish that amazing game would be revived.
Played for 1 day. Opened app this morning and it says our zombies are hungry. Try to feed them ham. Have no ham. Can buy ham for 10 pay coins. Cant access any other part of game (including the part where you can watch ads to get coins). Only option is to buy them for cash. So 24 hours and after that you better have watched 100 ads or paid them money. Worthless game.
Wished you got coins there were more and time spans like 24 hours is to long and takes to long to gain new zombies and upgrades And last but not least stop asking $74 for one thing that's a ridiculous price not any game on all of Apple and iTunes since we've been where has the prices you ask for it that will only get you about another level and maybe not even get you a zombie or because of all the duplicate parts.
We have been playing this game for a few days now and the first thing you will notice about this game is that it is a LOT slower than other games in this genre. We have a feeling that once you get your 9th crop plot the game will pick up a bit, but we havent even gotten our 7th yet. The idea for this game is sound but unfortunately, the lack of communication about what does what in the game as well as the slow pace and the lack of multiplayer makes this game pretty bland in the beginning. We can tell that there is a lot more to this game once you reach the 9th crop plot but getting to that point is a struggle for even someone like us who enjoys the incremental genre. So hopefully we can stick with it to get to that point but who knows… Right now it looks like it might take a few weeks to get there. Lol ___ Update: we have been playing this game for 2 weeks now we think. We have still not unlocked the 9th plot. We still hold our belief that the game will get more interesting once that happens. But we have found another big flaw in the game. This one is in regards to ads. Other games have hundreds of ads to play when they offer something. This app has MAYBE 5. After that nothing. We can no longer spin the wheel, we have to wait 24 hours to prestige, 24 hours to do everything. The game is slow even when you use the ads to speed things up. Without those, the game is a turtles pace… We will let you guys know once we get the 9th plot on whether the game gets any better. We suspect we will reach that later this week. __ Update 2: we are now changing our review to 1 Star. We finally got to the 9th plot point only to find that all of the stuff that unlocked was pay2win. Literally everything requires coins. We held out playing this game for weeks knowing in our heart that there would be more content once we got the 9th plot. We were right. There was a lot more content. Too bad it all requires coins…. We were ready to give this game 5 starts but instead we uninstalled and went from 4 stars to 1 Star.
It was actually a lot of fun things little bit to get started in the beginning but once you do then it just has all kinds of neat little things you dont expect definitely a fun time waster thanks.
Have some fun don't overthink it and grow and grow and grow some Mo.
Love turning people into zombies.
