*** DESCRIPTION ***
ZombieSmash! is a “Survival Comedy” game, featuring undead-themed castle defense and entertaining, physics-based gameplay. The game casts players as Joey, a lone survivor pit against a herd of writhing, unrelenting zombies - to defeat the undead masses, players must use their fingers to flick and smash them until they're un-undead.

•To aid players in their fight, over 30 specials and upgrades allow for creative zombie demolition - including fun implements like asteroids, wrecking balls, liquid nitrogen and a gigantic, rolling boulder – combine specials (for instance, smash nitrogen-frozen zombies with a boulder!) for added hilarity.

•Sophisticated ragdoll physics produce unique and hysterical zombie deaths, and the proprietary SplatterEngine™ renders adorable cartoon blood and gore in a convincing and entertaining fashion.

•Four game modes provide limitless replay value:
oCampaign Mode challenges players to survive for over 31 intense days against the mounting zombie threat and another 30 nights in the NEW CAMP NOWHERE campaign.

oEndless Siege Mode confronts them with a never-ending zombie assault - hold out as long as possible, racking up an ever-rising body count.

oSandbox Mode gives you all the tools to rain destruction down on those stinking, moaning zombies without any of the peril.

oMultiplayer Battle Mode let you play head-to-head in a battle to out-survive your rival, with the last man standing as the victor

•Game Center integration: Achievements, leaderboards and player profiles powered through Apple’s Game Center.

•Original soundtrack produced by famed game music composer Chris Hülsbeck, the talented musician behind the scores to classic games like Turrican, Giana Sisters and the Star Wars: Rogue Squadron series.

ZombieSmash Review

It's raining dead!

Throw a zombie across the screen. Then, drop a cement block on some of his friends. You can shoot, throw, and yes, smash a variety of undead monsters in ZombieSmash! a new game by Gamedoctors. Despite a surplus of zombie and defense games on the App Store, “ZombieSmash!” remains a refreshingly unique and unbelievably fun game. Full of memorable weapons, a great physics engine, and some genuinely funny moments, ZombieSmash! is a must-have app.


I have no idea where this farm boy got a wrecking ball, but here it is.

With the help of gravity, and an arsenal of weapons that would thrill even the most jaded zombie hunter, the player assists our unseen hero Joey in the violent defense of his farmhouse. You’ll have wrecking balls, guns, land mines, falling rocks and many other unconventional weapons at your disposal. The “splatter-engine” developed for this game lets the player dispose of the undead using some of the best working touch-screen controls I’ve played with. You can lift, throw and smash zombies into the ground with just a flick of the finger.

The rag-doll physics and detachable body-parts of the zombies makes killing a ton of fun, the outrageous weapons add another layer of greatness. You can use your fingers to flick the zombies across the screen and watch limbs fly as they are then blown to pieces by landmines or shotgun blasts. Shoot off a zombie’s leg, and these persistent monsters will crawl after you.

Gamedoctors spent a great deal of time on this app, and it shows. The weapons are well varied and fantastically fun to use, the sound effects are realistic and believable, and the physics engine creates a level of variety unseen in defense games.

There are three modes of play: first, the campaign mode, which includes 31 stages, two difficulty levels, and the ability to unlock and upgrade weapons. The second mode is “Endless Siege,” a survivor mode in which you defend against wave after wave of zombies until you are overrun. Finally there is a “Sandbox” option, where the player has the ability to test out weapons and practice skills without worrying about dying.

Though the game features no multiplayer, there is an extensive online community offering leader boards, news, and a message board.

The gameplay, though great, is not perfect. There are times where the player is put in helpless situations in which a weapon is needed, but cannot be found. The guns are an important aspect of the gameplay but can extremely hard to aim (especially when you’re facing zombies from both sides of the house). Also, this game is simply begging for some sort of accelerometer usage, and more then one map would be nice.

“ZombieSmash!” does an incredible job balancing fun game-play with replayablity. It’s great for some quick fun, but it still remains a blast after hours of throwing the little brain-eaters around. This is quite possibly the most addicting and entertaining game available in the app store to date and for $2 it is a must-have.
