Earning Points[]
You can earn points (
) in the following ways:
Tap on a zombie 
for 1 energy zap each => 7 with 96% drop rate
Kill a zombie boss 
=> 200 with 100% drop rate
A zombie boss will appear once per hour (with a 50% chance). He will need between 7 and 12 hits for 3 energy zaps each.
This boss will disappear by his own, means you only have a couple of seconds to kill him. Can well be you don't have enough energy zaps at this time and that you don't want to spend 6 € to regenerate the energy. There is one solution: start to kill him making use of all the energy zaps you have and then open a menu from one of the buttons on the bottom of the screen.
Don't visit friends, don't switch to the second part of your island, don't exit the game otherwise you would lose the zombie boss you started to kill and would not find him when back to your island.
Wait the necessary time to get energy zaps again, and when you think it is enough, just go back to your island by closing the menu. Back to your island, the boss is still there for you to kill immediately.
