Ah! The zombie apocalypse is here! You are on your own in a house and you have to fight off waves of zombies with your magical telekinetic hand and your some bizarre control over bizarre objects. Oh wait, that isn't the zombie apocalypse, that is ZombieSmash!

Now, I bought the game because of the description it gave. It mentioned strategy and castle/tower defense. There is some strategy to it. However, the tower defense aspect can really only be associated with the game very vaguely. When I started playing and noticed this, I was kind of pissed.

However, when I got passed that the game is actually quite a bit of fun. Essentially your finger is some sort of zombie tossing and weapon/object summoning force of nature. Some zombies can not be tossed. Some are fast. Some are weapon wielding. There is a fair amount of variety when it comes to zombies.

Now, your goal is to protect your house. The screen goes from left of the house, to the right of the house, and half way covers both sides of the house. It can get pretty challenging. 

While your are trying to toss and kill zombies, you are also trying to collect powerups and stars. Powerups range from weapons to objects falling from the sky. Some of the weapons are worked into the certain levels to provide a change of pace. These powerups require you to play somewhat smart. Especially when you get to a point where certain zombies start coming that can only be killed by these powerups, you need to make sure you have some ready.

I mentioned the stars earlier. Think of these as a type of experience or currency. You try to collect as many as you can. After you complete a level you are taken to the level select screen. After a certain number of levels, you get access to the shop. The shop allows you to upgrade your powerups or your house. Powerups become more powerful and your house becomes more defense ready. One of the more important things that you can upgrade is your powerup slots. You are only allowed to hold a certain number of powerups each level. A little more strategy is needed as result of this.  You start with one. You will eventually get two just from playing but the rest you need to get from the shop. 

Initially, I mentioned some dislike towards the game. But, I got passed the initial dislike and the game turned out to be a well made purchase. I definitely recommend this game to anyone with an iPhone. Play It!!!
