Earn to Die: a road full of zombies and a garage full of upgrades
Earn to Die is built on one loop. You drive until something stops you: a pile-up of zombies, a slope your engine cannot climb, or the fuel gauge hitting empty. Then the game pays you. On the Day Complete card you get money for the distance covered and more for every zombie you hit, and all of it goes into the garage before the next run.
The version on this page opens on a map of the western United States with a red X in the far north-west and a dotted route toward it. The first stops are Forgotten Hills, Catus Ride (the game's own spelling), Red Canyon and Desert Dash. Your first vehicle is a battered fire truck. The garage sells seven upgrades for it: engine, gearbox, wheels, spikes, a roof gun, a boost and a fuel tank, each with its own level bar.
The first day is short. In our test run, holding Up and nothing else, the fire truck climbed out of Forgotten Hills, ran over a small group of zombies and stalled on a slope with $320 for distance and $360 for zombie hits: $680 in total. Day 2 paid about the same. Your cash carries over, so by the Day 3 garage there was $1,273 to spend. Every upgrade after that pushes the stall point further along the route.

Getting further every day
- Buy fuel before power: The fuel tank is the cheapest upgrade ($100 for the first level) and the first runs end on an empty tank long before the engine is the problem.
- Zombies are money: On Day 1 the zombie hits paid more than the distance. Do not steer around the crowds; drive through them at speed.
- Keep the nose level: Tap Left or Right in the air so the truck lands on its wheels. A truck that lands on its nose loses its speed, and on a slope it may not get going again.
- Watch the marker: The bar on the Day Complete card and the line at the top of the screen mark your best distance, so you can see whether an upgrade helped.
- Wheels and gearbox for hills: When runs end on a slope instead of an empty tank, grip and gearing matter more than top speed.
- Save up for the big ones: The gun ($2,000) and boost ($1,300) cost more than two early days of pay. Buy a cheap level of fuel or wheels meanwhile.
