About Fuel Burn
Fuel Burn is a fast-paced zombie survival shooter set on the back of a moving car. Your goal is simple: survive the road, fight through increasingly dangerous zombie hordes, and make it to the 20-kilometer mark, where a station with other survivors is rumored to exist.
You are not exploring the apocalypse on foot. The entire game revolves around defending a moving vehicle while managing your firepower and improving your chances of surviving the next stretch of road.
Fight From a Moving Vehicle
You ride in the back of a car and shoot zombies before they can reach and damage the vehicle. Enemies approach from different directions and become more dangerous as you progress.
Accuracy matters. Missing too many shots gives enemies more time to close the distance, while stronger enemy types require you to react differently and prioritize your targets.
Upgrade Your Weapons and Vehicle
Defeated enemies provide scrap, which can be used to improve your chances of survival.
Upgrades include:
- Weapon improvements
- Vehicle speed
- Acceleration
- Nitro
- Additional combat and survival upgrades
Choosing the right upgrades changes how effectively you can handle larger and stronger hordes later in a run.
Multiple Enemy Types
The apocalypse is not filled with only one kind of zombie.
You will encounter different enemies with their own strengths and behavior, including regular zombies, fast aerial attackers, and heavily armored brute enemies that can absorb much more damage.
As you travel farther, the pressure increases and encounters become progressively harder.
Reach the Survivors
Your main objective is to survive the full 20-kilometer journey.
Somewhere ahead is supposedly a safe station occupied by survivors. Along the way, the game gradually introduces more questions about the world, the zombies, and what is waiting for you at your destination.
Survival
Fuel Burn is designed around short, action-focused survival runs. Each attempt lets you fight through hordes, collect resources, improve your build, and try to travel farther than before.
A current playthrough provides approximately 40–60 minutes of gameplay, depending on your performance and playstyle.
Current Features
The current version includes vehicle-based zombie combat, multiple enemy types, weapon and vehicle upgrades, scrap collection, increasing difficulty, progression across a 20-kilometer route, and a complete playable survival experience.
Fuel Burn is in active development, with additional enemies, bosses, weapons, upgrades, story content, helpers, and other features planned for future updates.
