The App Stork: Introducing KIL.A.TON, Deadshot, Gold Keeper and...
|

This week’s App Stork recommendations offer three tantalising flavours of mindless violence with war, zombie or occult to choose from. It’s a veritable gamer’s game pick ’n mix of pummelling pleasures.

If you're of a more sensitive disposition, however, there’s plenty more variety to be had at the bottom, where we list several other equally deserving titles that have swooped past the forum over the last while.

So, developers: if you fancy scoring some coverage in the App Stork, head to the iPhone and iPod touch developer news section of the forum, armed with all of your prettiest pics, YouTube and iTunes links, and post for all you're worth.

If you're a gamer, don’t be shy. Drop by the same forum and let the developers know how awesome they are and that all of their late nights were definitely worth the effort. That’s this week primed and ready - enjoy...


KIL.A.TON - Dot Matrix Interactive

Worms with tanks is probably an over-simplified explanation of KIL.A.TON, but it describes the game’s action about as accurately as possible. The big difference here is that defeated enemies leave behind bounty that can be collected and spent on kitting out your war machine with extra instruments of death.

It’s a looker, too, with varied settings and lots of colourful, screen filling explosions. Best of all, it has online play, which works over wi-fi, 3G and EDGE, so even those in the 2G crowd are well catered for. KIL.A.TON is but £1.79 and is out now.

Deadshot - ClockRocket
You just can’t spend enough time shooting zombies in the face with a shotgun, and Deadshot does away with any bothersome exposition, focussing instead on said guilty pleasure. The conceit is simple: three guns, five lives and every zombie in hell.

The game itself takes shape as a gallery shooter, but with a screen that pans between various views so you can confront fresh waves of undead shufflers, all rendered in glorious 3D. With five levels in the free version and unlimited hordes of zombies in the full paid version (which costs a mere 59p) there’s absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t check this out.

Unless of course you don’t like killing zombies with shotguns, in which case you ought to have a good long think about your priorities.

Gold Keeper - Digital Worlds
Finally, a game in which you get to play the bad guy and we do mean THE bad guy. To all intents and purposes the axe-happy protagonist of the 3rd person action hack and slash-'em-up Gold Keeper appears to be the devil himself.

You’re not, though. You’re just a demon, but a seriously hardy one who will stop at nothing to protect his dungeon full of treasure from the greedy human invaders.

The 3D visuals and animation are very slick and the game appears to have a very keen sense of humour, awarding the player with Darkside Cookies for dispatching enough thieving goons.

The video shows off some polished looking presentation, too, so odds are the game is worth its 59p asking price. Go get it and make Beelzebub proud.
