About Earn To Die

Earn to Die is a wildly addictive driving game where you must smash your way through hordes of zombies to reach a rescue helicopter. Developed by Toffee Games, it perfectly captures the satisfying loop of driving, crashing, and upgrading. You start with a rusty hatchback and barely enough fuel to travel a few hundred feet, but every attempt earns you cash based on your distance and destruction.

Between runs, you spend your earnings in the garage to bolt armor, weapons, and larger fuel tanks onto your vehicle. As you push further into the desert, you will eventually earn enough to buy bigger, heavier vehicles that can plow through the undead without losing momentum. The game is highly replayable, combining arcade physics with a compelling progression system.

Controls

Use your keyboard to drive and balance your vehicle over the rough terrain.

  • Up Arrow / W: Accelerate
  • Down Arrow / S: Brake or reverse
  • Left and Right Arrows / A and D: Tilt the car forwards and backwards in mid-air
  • Spacebar: Use your boost (once purchased)

Tips

Fuel is everything in the early game. Prioritize upgrading your fuel tank and engine before worrying about weapons or armor, as simply driving further is the best way to earn cash. Also, when flying off ramps, try to land all your wheels flat on the ground. A bad landing will sap your momentum and leave you stuck.

Earn To Die FAQ
