So I started it up on the loo, just to check that I could delete it… and got completely sucked in. (To the game, not the toilet. Apologies for the mental image you now have.)

And, yes, it is the zombies and sandbags game. You’ve got four humans who don’t want to become brain-munching undead types, so you set the sandbags up so the zombies have to go the long way round to get to them, giving the humans more time to shoot their heads off.

Curse you, diagonals!

Simple enough, really, once you’ve remembered that zombies can get through defenses if there’s a diagonal gap between sandbags. My first couple of mazes were not a success, but I survived anyway, probably due to playing on the easy setting.

I lasted all three nights and now I’ve got a bit of a problem. Not only am I not sure that I want to delete the game, I’m now contemplating paying for the full twenty-night version. Bother.

Anyway, this seems to be an interesting little game. You’ve got four survivors, with different skills, and you kit them out with weapons, then lay down sand bags to try and delay the zombies that pour in through the entrance. Once you kill them all, you get to spend some time searching for new weapons and laying down new defenses, then its on to the next wave.

Basically, you need to design a maze where you can shoot the zombies, but they can’t get you. You can choose where to spend each night, which adds a nice wrinkle to things. If you stay in a location you’ve already used there are more zombies, but you get to use the defenses you’ve already set up, as well as new ones.

Not got the hang of setting things up properly yet.

It’s a nice little mix of tower defense and that Flash zombie defense game I’ve forgotten the name of. Laying down defenses is a bit too fiddly for my liking, but there’s no time pressure.

The game’s free, but that only gives you three nights. For the full twenty nights you need to pay 59p, which seems like a very reasonable way of going about things. I died on the third night, though, so I didn’t need to spend any money. Worth a look, especially as it’s not going to cost you anything except your time. And we all know that’s worthless. Don’t deny it. You wouldn’t be reading this sorry excuse for a blog if it was.
