What is Stray Walker?

Stray Walker is a horde survivor for Playdate. Your four-legged walker wanders the wasteland on its own, and you cannot steer it. What you own is the crank: it turns the head, and every gun mounted on it turns too.

Kills drop scrap, and scrap levels you up. Each level offers three cards: a new gun, a Mk upgrade for one you carry, or one of 14 upgrades for the walker. Two mounts, 18 guns, each facing front or back. Hold out against mites, wasps, crabs and brutes, beat a boss every four minutes, and kill the Juggernaut at 15:00 to win.

How to play

  1. Let it walk

    The walker picks its own path across the wasteland. You never steer it.

  2. Crank to aim

    The crank turns the head, and every front-mounted gun aims with it. The D-pad turns it too. Guns fire on their own at anything in their cone.

  3. Collect scrap

    Kills drop scrap. Scrap near the walker gets pulled in, and the rest flies to you after a few seconds.

  4. Level up

    Each level shows three cards. Crank or press up and down to choose, A to install, B to reroll.

  5. Mount it right

    New guns go on the left or right mount, facing front with your aim or back to cover the rear.

  6. Last 15 minutes

    Bosses land at 4:00, 8:00 and 12:00. Kill the Juggernaut at 15:00 to win and open the next tier.

Stray Walker at level 11: the walker wanders through a crater field while the cranked turret sprays the swarm.
