It seems like more and more iPad apps are trying to get as detailed and complicated as humanly possible. Perhaps the iPad is trying to compete even more directly with console games, but whatever the reason there are more apps than ever before with deep storylines that demand total attention at all times. While those types of games are fun for the hard core gamer, sometimes the average iPad user just wants to kill a little time. The new iPad app known as Zombie Gunship fills the bill as fun time killer quite nicely.
Zombie Gunship is a rather basic game in which you serve as a member of a gunship high in the sky firing down on legions of zombies that are all trying to get into the bunker you are defending. During the adventure you will also attempt to save the civilians (white outlines) from the zombies (black outlines). The graphics are made to look as though you are looking through an ultraviolet lens in order to see your targets at night and you are far away so there’s no blood, meaning older children can play this game without exposure to totally realistic violence (though the zombies still get blown up so…)
The game “ends” when the zombie hordes eventually elude your fire and get into the bunker. It is then a matter of how many zombies you killed in order to accumulate “dollars” that you can use to upgrade your guns for another go-round. While repetitive, the $0.99 price tag makes this well worth the money as far as time wasters go.
App Store: $0.99
