Zombie Lane on mobile: Android, iPhone and PC, what works and what we tested
Zombie Lane on Android or iPhone has no app and no APK, but the game opens in a phone's browser and accepts touch: tapping, dragging and pinching all work, and it looks better in landscape. We tested it with simulated phone screens, not on real phones, so a computer is still the more comfortable choice. This page covers the gestures, what we did and did not test, why you will not find an app for this edition, and what to do when a tap does not land.

Open Zombie Lane on your phone or computer
Here is the game: open it in the browser of your phone or computer, create a free account and see how it feels.
Does Zombie Lane work on Android and iPhone?
In short, it is meant to, with limits. The game accepts touch, and you reach it by opening zombie.fbgamesweb.com in your phone's browser, creating an account and playing. There is nothing to install on Android or on iPhone.
The honest part is that we have not tested it on real phones, and not on Safari on iPhone. That means we cannot promise a smooth experience on your device. If something does not respond, switch to a computer.
Which gestures does Zombie Lane use on a touchscreen?
Tap a zombie to attack it. Tap rubble, broken fences or loot to clear, repair or collect them. Tap the ground and your character walks there. To scoop up loot, slide your finger across the bubbles.
Drag to move the camera and pinch to zoom. Both switch on when the tutorial ends. Windows close with their own close button.
Should you play in landscape? Full screen and sound
Landscape is better. It gives the scene more room, and there is a full-screen button inside the game.
Sound starts off. Turn it on with the sound button in the game when you want it.
What did we test, and what didn't we?
The test ran in Chrome on a computer set to phone screen sizes: 390 by 844 in portrait and 844 by 390 in landscape, with nothing cut off. That tells us about layout. It tells us nothing about speed or comfort on real hardware.
Not tested: real Android phones, iPhones and Safari. For browsers in general, the game has been tried for real only in Chrome, and Firefox, Edge and Safari are not promised.
Is there a Zombie Lane app for iPhone or Android?
Not for this edition. There is no app, no APK and no listing in an app store. You play in the browser.
The original game did have apps. Digital Chocolate released a free version for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad in November 2011 and also made a free Android version. They are separate products with no link to this edition, and your save from them cannot be imported.
If a page offers an Android APK and says it is this edition, it is not ours. The download guide explains how to tell.
What problems can come up on a phone?
Small targets. Zombie Lane has a lot of small objects, so pinch to zoom in before tapping rubble or loot that sits next to other things.
Switching characters. Once you have rescued your partner and your dog, tapping them changes the character you control. If your character suddenly looks different, that is why.
Tabs and connection. Keep one tab per account, because a forgotten second tab can put the game out of step. If your mobile connection drops, the game shows “No connection. Reconnecting…” with a Retry button. If your session expires it asks you to sign in again and sends the actions that were waiting.
Can you use the same account on a computer and a phone?
Yes. Your progress is saved on the server and tied to your account, so signing in on your phone shows the same house, level and items you left on the computer.
Just avoid keeping the game open on both at the same time. Two open copies of one account can fall out of step.
How do you report a mobile problem?
Open a ticket in Support (/soporte) while you are signed in. Say which phone and browser you use, what you tapped and what happened, and attach a screenshot of up to 1 MB. A notice in the page header marks replies you have not read.
Reports from real phones matter most right now, because that is the part of the game we could test the least.

Frequently asked questions about Zombie Lane on mobile
Can you play Zombie Lane on mobile?
Zombie Lane accepts touch input in a phone's browser: tap, drag and pinch. We tested it with simulated phone screens, but not on real phones. It looks better in landscape, and a computer is still the more comfortable way to play.
Can I play Zombie Lane on iPhone?
You can try it in your iPhone's browser by opening the game's site and creating an account. There is no Zombie Lane app for this edition. We have not tested Safari on iPhone, so we cannot promise how smooth it will be.
Can I play Zombie Lane on Android?
Open the game's site in your Android phone's browser, create an account and play. There is no app or APK to install for this edition of Zombie Lane. We have not tested real Android phones, so a computer is the safer choice.
Can I install Zombie Lane on Android with an APK?
No. This edition of Zombie Lane has no APK, no installer and no app. You play in the browser. Any file that claims to be this edition did not come from us, so do not install it, and do not type any password into the page offering it.
Does Zombie Lane work better in landscape?
Yes. Zombie Lane gives the scene more room in landscape, and the layout was checked at 844 by 390 as well as at 390 by 844 without cut-off content. There is also a full-screen button inside the game if you want more space.
How do I zoom in Zombie Lane on a phone?
Pinch with two fingers to zoom in Zombie Lane, and drag to move the camera. Both gestures switch on when the tutorial ends. Zooming in helps when you need to tap small objects such as rubble or loot that sits next to other things.
Will my Zombie Lane progress carry over between phone and computer?
Yes. Your Zombie Lane progress is saved on the server and tied to your account, so you pick up on any device by signing in. Avoid keeping the game open on two devices at once, because the copies can fall out of step.
Why did my character change when I tapped in Zombie Lane?
After you rescue your partner and your dog in the story, tapping them switches the character you control in Zombie Lane. It is how the game lets you change characters, not a bug, so tap carefully when objects sit close together.
Does Zombie Lane have sound on mobile?
Yes, but the sound starts off in Zombie Lane. Use the sound button inside the game to turn it on whenever you like. It is worth checking your volume first, especially if you play somewhere quiet or in public, so it does not surprise you.
What should I do if Zombie Lane is slow or does not respond on my phone?
Reload the page, keep only one tab open and try landscape. If it still misbehaves, use a computer and open a ticket in Support with your phone model, your browser and a screenshot of what went wrong in Zombie Lane.
