Nothing much to this one. You’re frozen to the spot in a snowy wasteland. You can turn around by swiping the screen, but not move. You have three guns – a pistol, a shotgun and a rifle. Nicely-animated zombies approach. You tap them to shoot them – and sometimes you think you’ve tapped them but the game says you haven’t, which I’m happy to put down to my having rubbish fingers, rather than it being a problem with the game. Sometimes extra ammo appears. You tap it to pick it up.

That, dear readers, is all that happens.


Well, okay, sometimes you get told you’ve finished a level and then you start again, with more zombies approaching more quickly.

But that’s really all that happens.

This demo consists of five levels – which, unfortunately, seems to be about when it starts getting properly frantic.

It’s incredibly simple. It’s refreshingly unpretentious. It, like at least 73% of iPhone games, has zombies in it. I enjoyed my brief time with it. I don’t think I’ll buy the full version, but you never know. It’s just got a certain low-rent charm that appeals to me, even though you can imagine proper games with their monocles and top hats and little terrier dogs being very sniffy about the whole thing.
