Dead Panic is out - a strategic zombie shooter

xsmasher · 01:40 AM

Hi, this is Sean / xsmasher, long time lurker and infrequent poster.
My strategic zombie shooter, "Dead Panic" , has been approved by Apple and is available now!

I have some exclusive screen shots, not displayed on the Dead Panic web site:

Dead Panic has a 13-level campaign with a sci-fi storyline, instant loading/saving for quick games, iPod integration, and a full soundtrack. If you like the atmosphere of Half-Life 2 and STALKER, you'll enjoy this game. If you like popping zombies in the head with a sniper rifle, you'll like this game. It's getting a lot of attention at Touch Arcade so I know that people are enjoying it, I hope you do too!

I'm happy to explain anything about the production/programming of the game - I believe in giving back to the community, and have answered thousands of questions on iPhone development boards.

I'm also available for podcast / blog / print interviews - I'm a full-time Independent developer with lots to say about the state of the app store, the future of the iPhone platform, and other Apple and Indie issues.

I recently posted a gameplay video on youtube, if anyone is still on the fence:

This looks good, downloading now can't wait to try it. The screenshots remind me of the old gameboy rainbow six games.

I have to say i am very impressed, this is an excellent game. Well done.

Edit: Do you have any plans for more story based ones? I'd love to see one in a more desert, post apocalyptic world (kind of like the video game fallout 3).

I am working on a skirmish / survival mode now - that doesn't have to be connected to the main storyline, so I can make whatever environments I like. I'll keep a note of your vote: apocalyptic desert!

Pretty fun, like you described it a casual game. Kept me occupied for a while and thats exactly what I look for in games, well done!
