[Audyssey] Audio Defence: Zombie Arena, soon going to be released

We are really proud to announce that we are soon going to release our new 
game: Audio Defence: Zombie Arena


It has all the cool stuff you'd want in a zombie game, but is quite unlike 
anything you've ever played before. Unless you played our last game Papa 
Sangre II, which was Metacritic's iOS game of the year 2013 (and had Sean 
Bean doing voice over). We see it as the quicker, dirtier successor to Papa 
Sangre II. We've kept the horror and immersion, but chucked out almost 
everything else in favour of SPEED AND FURY so you can just pick up and 
play.


You are the Blind Warrior, trapped in Dr Bastard's arenas, forced to fight 
off wave after wave of his zombies. As you progress you'll need to master 
the Pistol, the Sawn-off Shotgun, the Hunting Rifle, the Machine Gun, the 
Bazooka, the Grenade Launcher and the Sonic Cannon, among others. If the 
zombies get too close you'll have to resort to a range of melee weapons . a 
Wok, a Banjo, some Golf Clubs, a Cattle Prod and a Claymore. Reassuring?


It will be quite unlike any zombie game you've played before. The zombies 
and playing environment are all rendered in high fidelity binaural sound. 
There are no graphics to represent them. You can only hear them, which is 
why gameplay is so immersive. Because the sound is binaural (3D audio), 
using only ordinary headphones you actually hear the zombies in the world 
all around you, and you are situated right in the middle of the game. It's 
like AR* for the EAR. Oculus thrift.


This game has no In App Purchase - everything you need to complete the game, 
is available within the game itself. How long will you survive? That is up 
to you and your aural shooting skills.


Did we mention that the evil Dr Bastard will do anything in his power to 
entertain its crowd, even if it means throwing you to the mercy of lurching 
zombies?


We are a few days away from release now.. your patience will be reward Blind 
Warrior.


Here is a List of the Zombies in the game:
Classic Zombie
The show is called 'Dr. Bastard's Zombie Arena', so he has to deliver some 
classic zombies. That means the slow, feet-shuffling kind. They can take a 
couple of bullets more than a Reject, but are easily beaten if they come 
alone.


Berserk
A formidable Zombie you don't want to mess with. The Berserk is a blind 
zombie who looks for his prey by sniffing around. If you don't shoot him, he 
will go away in a few seconds. A single bullet that hits him will cause him 
to go into a frenzy and charge towards you very fast, and be warned: he can 
take a lot of bullets!


Chainsaw
The crowd's favourite. This crazy undead is smart enough not only to wield a 
chainsaw, but also to run at you moving sideways. You want to keep your ears 
on him, ready to notice which direction he's turning, to make sure your 
bullets keep hitting him!


Clown
Dr. Bastard likes to dress his craziest zombies as clowns. He likes to give 
them rusty knives, too. The Clown's main mission is to annoy the Blind 
Warrior running in circles around you, but don't let that fool you. Clowns 
slowly close in and will eventually attack if left alive for too long!


Colossus
Dr. Bastard's masterpiece, a gigantic zombie so big its tiny brain can only 
handle two motor skills: walking towards the closest human and smashing the 
closest human with a massive club it carries. The Colossus is the toughest 
zombie you'll ever meet. If you don't focus on it the moment it appears, you 
won't have enough time to sink enough bullets into it to down it.


Farty
As a fan of old action movies, Dr. Bastard likes explosions on his show. So 
he filled some of his zombies with obnoxious amounts of methane gas, to the
point that these zombies are inflated like ballons. Unfortunately, there's 
no way to keep al the gas inside their bodies, and so they leak it out in 
the form of burps and farts. Which is why Dr. Bastard thought it would be 
HILARIOUS to call them 'Farties'. When a farty gets shot a few times, the 
gas will ignite and generate a huge explosion, which can take down nearby 
zombies. If it explodes near you, however, it will deafen you for a few 
seconds, so watch out!


Hulk
The Hulk is a regular zombie injected with an overdose of adrenaline, 
testosterone and quinoa. It's fast and it can take a beating.


Reject
Dr. Bastard is always trying to create the ultimate super-zombie. Thank 
goodness that hasn't happened yet. Instead, most of Dr. Bastard's 
experiments end up being a poor mess of undead flesh barely held together. 
Once it's clear the experiment is a failure, these Rejects end up as cannon 
fodder for the next show. They're slow and stupid, but usually come in great 
numbers and can overwhelm even the most proficient zombie fighter.


Riot Gear
Riot Gear Zombies are, well, dressed in full riot gear, complete with a 
thick metal shield. Shoot them once and they will stop and hide behind their 
shield for a few seconds. They'll be invincible while

Hi Phil,
  Thanks for posting this info. Boy, am I looking forward to playing this game! 
There are certainly a lot more zombies to tackle than we were given with “Sixth 
Sense”, that’s for sure.
