Better dead than undead

Side-scrolling zombie shooter Apocalypse Max now blasting brains on the App Store

Given the overwhelming number of zombies roaming the App Store at any one time, there's always room for another fearless gut-toting mercenary ready to thin out their rotting ranks.

Enter the no-nonsense star of Wandake's new blood splattered side-scroller Apocalypse Max: Better Dead Than Undead. He's got guns. He's got knives. He's called Max.

More than that, though, he's got no sympathy for the living dead, so he has made it his mission to rid Hellthroat Island of its zombie infestation.

You must guide Max through 20 cartoon-style levels of fast-paced gunplay and vicious hand-to-hand combat.

Along the way, you'll encounter 16 types of deadite, ranging from the aptly named "Puker" (gross) variant to the dual axe-wielding Lumberjack (he's not okay).

Dead pretty

As you can see in the trailer (below), Apocalypse Max is a bit of a looker, wearing its comic-inspired styling with pride.

If you want to see whether it plays as good as it looks, iPhone and iPad owners can grab Apocalypse Max from the App Store for £1.99 / $2.99 today.

James pivoted to video so hard that he permanently damaged his spine, which now doubles as a Cronenbergian mic stand. If the pictures are moving, he's the one to blame.
