Zombie Glider (iPhone, iPad) $0.99
The zombie hordes can’t seem to get to the humans and their brains inside walled medieval cities, but one zombie has a plan — ride in a hang glider fired from a cannon, and attack the humans from the air. In Zombie Glider, you are that zombie, and as you soar over the humans’ fortresses, you’ll dip down and snatch humans as they flee, snacking on their brains and then tossing them back to take out other humans as they bounce like deadly projectiles.
Not all the humans are defenseless, however. Archers on towers, rooftops and flying machines will try to stop you, and running into structures will take you out immediately. But along the way you can fortify your human attack vehicle by upgrading it by spending brain points you accumulate for notching up high scores.
Doodle vs. Brute: World Domination (iPhone, iPad) $0.99
The doodle world and the ink world have been war for some time, but now the tide is turning with you – a giant cybernetic King Kong-like gorilla called The Brute that has been assigned with destroying doodle cities and wiping out doodle military. You’ll stalk across side-scrolling city levels as the Brute, tapping away to punch small stick-man troops before they can hit you with all manner of weapons and artillery.
As you progress through Doodle vs. Brute, you’ll gather currency called “tech points” that you can use to upgrade the Brute’s cybernetics, adding another level of strategy to the game. Do you want to gather more health from power-ups, or send doodles screaming in terror before you with the power of mind manipulation? How you approach each level is up to you, but your scores are tracked on Game Center’s leaderboards.
