Noob: Base protection (co-op)
About Noob: Base protection (co-op)
Noob: Base protection (co-op) is a cooperative survival game where one or two players build bases, mine ore, and fight off waves of zombies — all on the same device. Solo players get a bot companion, while two friends can team up directly. The pace mixes resource gathering with active defense: you mine, upgrade tools and weapons, and construct fortifications before and between enemy waves. Several scenes show tall trees with blocky green foliage and white trunks marked in black. Underground areas reveal brown dirt layers and grey stone strata dotted with yellow and blue sparkling fragments.
How to Play Noob: Base protection (co-op)
Start with a short training course, then choose the number of players and select a level. From there, the loop revolves around gathering ore, spending coins on upgrades and structures, and holding off escalating zombie waves.
Tips & Tricks
- Extract as much ore as possible early on — prioritize the most valuable types (diamond or gold) and build furnaces, which generate coins over time.
- Let the bot handle combat while you focus on collecting ore.
- Build a door early: closing it lets you mine undisturbed until it breaks, and it also buys breathing room when things get difficult, allowing potions to accumulate and gold to build up in the furnace.
- Upgrade the pickaxe to at least level 3 before pushing further.
- Upgrade the sword — it is the cheapest available means of defense.
- When enemies are numerous and coins are plentiful, build spikes and a turret, but keep in mind they cost more money than earlier options.
