About This Game

Task Bar Deaths is a tiny zombie survival game that lives right on your Windows taskbar.

Leave it running while you work, study or chill. Your pixel survivor keeps fighting the undead, collecting loot and getting stronger, and you can check in whenever you like.

Explore a ruined city, forge better gear, build your own skill path and face huge bosses, all inside a strip at the bottom of your screen.

■ Small Window, Real Survival

• A full zombie survival game packed into your taskbar.

• Fight with melee weapons or firearms, each with its own attack animation.

• Layer your clothing for extra protection. Every piece shows up on your survivor.

• Keep an eye on hunger, thirst and health, or the city will finish you off.

■ Plays While You Work

• Your survivor keeps going even when you're not watching.

• Jump in for a few seconds or a few hours. Simple controls make both easy.

• Lightweight and unobtrusive, so it runs smoothly next to your other programs.

• A short guided tour on your first launch teaches you the basics.

■ A City Full of the Dead

• Streets, hospitals, shelters and military zones, all linked by the Portal Map.

• A wide range of undead: slow shamblers, fungal horrors that release toxic spores, and spitters that attack from range.

• Boss duels against giant monsters like the Groundbreaker, the Stormcaller and the Frost Colossus.

• Dynamic weather: rain, wind and thunderstorms roll across the city.

■ Loot, Forge and Grow

• Find gear in five rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic and Legendary.

• Upgrade your weapons and armor at the Forge.

• Complete item sets for powerful set bonuses, and equip charms to fine-tune your build.
