Just in time for Halloween, Smort has released a new iPhone game that totally exploits (and satirizes) the App Store's "race-to-the-bottom." The game is called Attack of the Zombie Bikini Babes from Outer Space [iTunes Link]. The game combines three of the App Stores biggest gaming trends: zombies, girls in bikinis, and aiming projectiles at stuff. It's hilarious.
The Game
Check out this trailer for the game, it pretty much explains how it works:
In essence, you throw squirrels and raccoons and gasoline bottles at bikini clad zombies that emerge from a spaceship. There are two slingshots, so it takes a certain amount of skill to get your aim and timing down. The zombies aren't really bikini babes as much as they are homages to the Grindhouse-girls from Russ Meyer films or other B-movies from the 50s and 60s.
The whole game is very tongue and cheek, but also very addictive.
Our Review
As you can see, I'm a fan of the game. I think it has a great sense of humor and does a great job satirizing the App Store, while also offering a fun overall experience.
Price and Availability
Attack of the Zombie Bikini Babes from Outer Space is available in two versions. The Lite [iTunes link] version is free and lets you play a few rounds of the game to get a feel for the overall game. The full version [iTunes link] is just $0.99.
For anyone looking for a good way to waste some time, have a laugh and hit zombie's in bikini's with pelts of squirrels, Smort's Attack of the Zombie Bikini Babes from Outer Space is that game.
