You, in a drinking den, facing dozens of vacant-eyed zombies lurching towards you, arms outstretched, wanting your blood ? ?†? ??????‚?? it's a great idea for a shoot-em-up.
But enough about Yates' Wine Bar: The Game, hopefully someone will sign it up soon. In the meantime, there's Shaun Of The Dead, a mobile title based on the cult Brit zom-rom-com.
Rather than try to follow the entire plot of the film (never a good idea for movie games), Shaun Of The Dead's creator Ojom has opted instead to focus on the key battle scene in The Winchester pub. Zombies pop out from behind and in front of the bar, and your job is to shoot them or, when your bullets run out, have at 'em with a cricket bat.
Three friends' photos at the bottom of the screen represent your 'lives'. Delay too long in your zombie-killing and it's game over.

Gameplay-wise, the developers have clearly been influenced by the classic arcade game (and subsequent console conversion) House Of The Dead, which had you shooting zombies with an arcade gun. Obviously that exact mechanic would be silly on mobile, so here the screen is divided into six 'zones', corresponding to the '7', '8', '9', '1', '2' and '3' keys on your phone. |
