Desktop Mech3D zombie shooter on your desktop
A tiny two-gun mech defends your own desktop from endless zombie waves. Click, shoot, relax.
A coffee-break time-killer: a fingernail-sized 3D mech walks between your icons and mows down zombies. No score, no game over — just shoot and unwind.
A tiny mech, endless zombies and your desktop as the battlefield
Your desktop is the battlefield. The Windows version takes a snapshot of your desktop, goes full screen and drops a fingernail-sized walking mech with two machine guns right between your icons. The browser version uses a classic blue desktop.
Zombies come in from every edge of the screen and shamble towards the centre — one at a time at first, then faster and faster. One bullet and a zombie drops, leaving a blood splat on your wallpaper. Clear all twenty, take a five-second breather, and the wave starts again.
There is no score and no game over: walk, shoot and watch your desktop turn into a sieve. Bullet holes and blood stay until you quit. A perfect few-minute break between tasks.
Key features
- Your real desktop as the arena (Windows); a classic blue desktop in the browser.
- A detailed 3D mech about 2 cm tall: separate legs and torso, walk animation, recoil, shell casings and a shadow.
- Endless zombie waves: 20 per wave, spawning faster and faster.
- One-hit kills and bullet holes that stay on your desktop.
- Hold to fire long bursts and drag to sweep; the mech walks into range by itself.
- No install: play in the browser or run a single .exe.
Content warnings
Cartoon violence: shooting zombies, small blood splats on the desktop, no gore. Constant machine-gun sound — press M to mute. The Windows version keeps the desktop snapshot in memory only: nothing is saved or sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
Is Desktop Mech free?
Yes. Play it free in your browser on itch.io or download the free Windows version — a single .exe, no install.
Does it really use my desktop?
The Windows version takes a snapshot of your screen at launch and draws the game on top of it. The snapshot stays in memory only — nothing is saved or sent anywhere. The browser version uses a drawn classic desktop.
Can I lose?
No. There is no score and no game over — it is a relaxing time-killer for a short break.
Windows says “Windows protected your PC”. Is that OK?
The .exe is not code-signed, so SmartScreen may warn you. Click “More info” → “Run anyway”.
Does it work on phones?
No — it needs a mouse with left and right buttons.
Prefer to play offline?
Download it for Windows on itch.io.
