iOS Game Watch: Zombie Toss, Build-a-lot 3, Little Bird Game
Today I look at Zombie Toss…ed with red wine sauce, for zombie chefs the world over; Build-a-lot 3 comes to iOS; and Little Bird Game, a platformer for tilt-lovers.
Ever wonder if zombies taste as good to us as we taste to them? No? Well, me neither, but developer Flying Wisdom Studios decided to go that direction with Zombie Toss. A bizarre kind of swipe and slash game where you use a variety of weapons, from knives, shotguns, and machine guns, to tanks, helicopters, and flying sharks (I’m not making this up) to slash these zombies tossed up into the air for your destructive desires. There are four chapters with 30 levels in two modes: Story and Survival. You can toss your zombies for $0.99 with a universal app on iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
Hipsoft’s Build-a-lot 3 has come to iOS, courtesy of G5 Games. Build-a-lot 3: Passport to Europe takes your real estate empire to 9 European countries, restoring rundown houses, beautifying neighborhoods, and developing services. You get to construct a lot of buildings based on European architecture while surviving weather conditions and environmental crises. Campaign mode has 45 levels, while Casual mode is more of a sand-box style system you play at your own pace. You can download the demo for free, then get the full version via in-app purchase. The game is discounted for a limited time: iPhone is available for $2.99, and iPad is out for $4.99.
Roentgen’s Little Bird Game is an interesting platformer. Rather than tap, swipe, or otherwise interacting with your little bird on the screen to get him from one place to another, you use only the accelerometer and tilt functions of your iPhone to move Little Bird. Using acceleration, you avoid obstacles or use features such as cannons, moveable platforms, and springs to get Little Bird to pick up coins and to his final destination each level. Wonder if I’ll be constantly trying to tap the screen, tho! Little Bird Game game out in September, so I’m a little late in finding out about it, but you can grab it for $0.99 for iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad.
