Lead a crowd of kids with toy bubble blasters down a harbour bridge. Pass the right gates, dodge the holes, wake the cartoon zombie horde so many of them join you, and pile onto the boss at the end of every span.
👆 Drag left or right to steer · or tap where the crowd should go ← All gamesBubble Brigade! is a free 3D zombie crowd runner for your phone or computer: one finger, no download. You lead a crowd of kids in blue helmets down a long harbour bridge at sunset, and a red sea of grumpy cartoon zombies fills the far end. The twist: your toy bubble blasters wake the zombies up, and many of the woken townsfolk grab a spare blaster and join your crowd. Nothing is gory — kids who are tagged out simply drop out of the crowd, and anyone who slips off the bridge floats away on a rubber ring.
A × gate multiplies only the kids who fit through its panel; a + gate pays as soon as you touch it. An open edge has a strip of +1 tiles, but kids hanging over the edge drop into the water. Coloured blaster gates swap your toy blaster: the Foam Cannon splashes, the Hose Jet pierces a long line, the Bubble Fan sprays wide and short, and the Balloon Sling lobs over umbrellas. Side crates give a helicopter, gold-helmet Rangers, a shield, a Big Bubble, recruit cards or Stars.
When a horde comes into range your crowd holds the line and the zombies charge at you; every zombie that reaches your crowd tags a kid out. Hordes come in kinds: Umbrella zombies block bubbles from the front, Puffballs split in four, a Conga line comes in one long column, and a Wide horde fills every lane. Big Lug ends every span: dodge the red patches where he stomps, then everyone piles onto him. Later come Mud Lobbers (a red ring shows where mud lands) and hands reaching out of the water.
After each boss, steer the middle of your crowd into one of three reward panels: a new blaster, Big Pug, or a perk for the rest of the run such as Fizzy Soap or Sticky Deck. Blasters last until the next boss. Big Pug runs ahead of your crowd and boops zombies back; Big Buddy, a giant kid who sprays like thirty and slams Big Lug, is hired at a toll gate for some of your kids.
Points come from zombies woken, gates, tiles, crates and bosses. A combo up to ×5 grows when you run through the middle of a gate, slip past a hole, crack a crate or dodge a stomp, and breaks when a big part of your crowd lands in the water. Stars buy Barracks upgrades (bigger squad, stronger bubbles, Pep Talk, Floaties, longer helicopter rides); recruit cards fill Squad Cans that start every run with a Ranger, Captain or Commander. The Daily Bridge is the same bridge for everyone each day, with a streak that boosts your Stars.
Is it free? Yes, completely, in any modern browser. Does it work on phones? Yes — it is made for one finger in portrait, and it also plays on tablets and computers. Is it scary? No: the zombies are cartoon characters who wake up and either float away in a bubble or join you. Does it save? Your Stars, Barracks upgrades, cards, streak and best scores stay in this browser; a run in progress is not saved. How is it different from Recruit or Porchlight? Recruit is a quick left-or-right crowd game, and Porchlight! is a cabin defense where you tap each zombie; here you steer a whole crowd freely across the bridge and grow it from the horde itself.
