Quirky App Of The Day: Elevator Zombies
by Kathryn Zane
July 23, 2011
With all the publicity I give to the undead, I should seriously consider devoting a blog or column to all things pertaining to zombies. There are definitely enough apps, games, books and apocalypse theories to support it. Today's app is no different. There are shuffling ghouls, rotting flesh and head shots galore. The difference with Elevator Zombies comes in the playing field. I had never played a zombie game that had me playing through escalators and elevators.
When the zombies overtake the city, your girlfriend goes running head-first into the fray to report the situation to her fellow citizens. How responsible of her. Predictably though, she goes missing, and it's up to you to go out and rescue her. Tracking her from building to building, you fight your way floor by floor through the zombies and other little critters in hopes of finding your girl alive.
Using a toggle in the left hand corner and your firing button on the right, you move your man up and down the levels by using the elevators and escalators. The red doors hide items that you need to collect before you can finish the level. The blue doors hide weapon upgrades or keys used to get into the red doors. Sometimes, you even get lucky enough to blast through dozens of zombies to complete your level requirements. Either way, you blast zombies and get your girl. What else could you want in a game?
Elevator Zombies is available on the App Store for $0.99
