Undead Appetite

You're a ravenous zombie with a trigger finger—jump with Z, blast with X, and eat everything that moves before the sun comes up.

Undead Appetite is one of those browser games that feels designed for a five-minute break but ends up eating an hour. You play a zombie with an insatiable hunger and surprisingly good aim. The controls are dead simple—Z makes you hop over gravestones and obstacles, X spits out a projectile (I think it's a bone, maybe a tooth?) that knocks back enemies. The trick is that you can't just spam fire; there's a slight cooldown, and jumping at the wrong time leaves you open to a pitchfork to the face. What got me hooked was the rhythm. Each wave throws a mix of slow shamblers, fast crawlers, and annoying ranged attackers. You learn to bait the fast ones into a jump, then fire mid-air for a satisfying double kill. The pixel art is crude but charming—your zombie's jaw unhinges when you eat, and the screen shakes when a big one goes down. There's no story, no tutorial beyond a quick flash of 'Z to jump, X to fire,' and honestly that's all you need. One thing to note: the hitboxes are a bit forgiving on jumps but punishing on shots. If you're used to playing aggressively, you'll die a lot at first. I found that playing defensively—waiting for enemies to line up, then firing through two at once—works better than running in. The high score is local only, but that just means bragging rights are personal. It's not a deep game, but it's the kind of small, weird title that makes unblocked game sites worth checking.

Use Z and X to jump and fire!

Time your jumps just before an enemy's attack animation starts—they'll whiff and you'll land clean. The X shot has a slight arc; aim a bit higher for enemies above you. Save your shots for groups. A single bone can pierce two or three shamblers if they're lined up. Don't corner yourself. Backing into a wall means no escape from the fast crawlers. Watch the cooldown icon under your character—firing early wastes a shot when you need it most. Eat any glowing green meat that drops. It restores a chunk of health and resets your combo multiplier.
