About Bad Bodyguards
Bad Bodyguards is a short pixel zombie game where your survival depends on the people you hire. A zombie horde is coming, and you spend your coins on bodyguards to keep you alive.
Each round starts in a small checkered arena. Along the bottom of the screen sit your coins and a row of bodyguards for hire, each with its own price, plus a button that refreshes the offer for a fee. Pick your team, press Start, and see whether they hold up. You have three hearts, and the round counter climbs as you survive.
It's a roguelike, so runs are short and each one plays out differently depending on who you hire. You can play Bad Bodyguards online here in a few minutes.
How to Play Bad Bodyguards
- Click inside the game window first, then try the mouse and keyboard.
- Check your coins in the bottom corner before each round.
- Hire bodyguards from the row at the bottom of the screen; each one has a price.
- Refresh the shop if none of the offers suit you, keeping in mind that it costs coins too.
- Press Start and survive the zombie wave.
- Keep at least one of your three hearts, then build a stronger team for the next round.
What to Expect in Bad Bodyguards
Expect quick rounds and tight budgets. Cheaper guards let you hire more, pricier ones might be worth it, and the refresh button tempts you to gamble on a better offer. The name sets expectations about how reliable your hires will be.
The pixel art is chunky and clean, with a green checkered arena and simple white figures. Zombies are the theme, but the style is cartoony rather than gory. It's a small zombie game that fits into a short break.
Tips for Bad Bodyguards
- Compare prices before you buy; the cheapest guard is not always the best value.
- Use the refresh button sparingly, since every refresh eats into your hiring money.
- Mix different kinds of bodyguards instead of hiring the same one every time.
- Keep an eye on your hearts; three is all you get.
- Play Bad Bodyguards free a few times to learn which hires last longest against the horde.
