    Description

    Crank. Drift. Don’t crash. Crank The Dead is a chaotic arcade experience built around one simple idea: how long can you stay in control? Using the Playdate crank as your steering wheel, you’ll drift through a growing swarm of zombies, crushing them for points while fighting to keep your car under control. The longer you survive, the harder it gets. Movements become tighter, mistakes more likely, and the pressure never stops building. There’s only one way it ends: you hit the edge of the screen… and explode. No upgrades. No checkpoints. Just you, the crank, and your high score.

    • Crank: Required
    • Tilt: Not used
