Nightpoint.io

Nightpoint.io is a top-down multiplayer shooter set in a pixel-art city overrun by zombies. You begin with a basic gun, earn experience through combat, and develop a stronger survivor while trying to stay alive. The undead are only part of the danger: other players can attack while you are busy clearing a crowd.

Its appeal comes from balancing two threats at once. Farming zombies helps you grow, but chasing every kill can leave you trapped or exposed to a better-equipped rival.

Build up your survivor

Choose a name and skin, then enter a match. Defeating enemies raises your score and opens upgrades. Improve movement speed, health, regeneration, or accuracy as options become available, and advance beyond the starting pistol to stronger weapons.

Keep moving while aiming independently with the mouse. Leave room to retreat when a crowd approaches; being squeezed between zombies and another survivor is harder to escape than either threat alone.

FFA or team objectives

In FFA, survive and compete for a higher position on the leaderboard. Other survivors are potential enemies, even when they are shooting the same zombies as you.

Teams adds a capture-the-flag objective: take the opposing flag to your team's spawn to score. Protect the return route as well as the flag itself. A dropped flag returns to the enemy spawn after 30 seconds, so an interrupted run creates only a short recovery window.

• W A S D: Move.
• LRMove Mouse: Aim.
• LRLeft Click: Shoot.
• Space: Dash.
• 1 2 3 4: Select the corresponding available stat upgrade.

Follow the upgrade options shown on screen. The number keys select upgrades rather than acting as a standard weapon hotbar.

• Grow before forcing a duel. Use manageable zombie fights to earn early upgrades instead of charging a survivor with a stronger gun.
• Watch the route behind you. While backing away and firing, check that a wall or a second crowd is not cutting off your retreat.
• Dash toward space. Use the burst of movement to leave an encirclement rather than rushing deeper into it.
• Upgrade the weakness you notice. Speed helps when you cannot create distance; health and regeneration help when repeated small hits end your run.
• Escort a flag carrier. In Teams, clear the route back to spawn instead of leaving the teammate with the flag to fight alone.
