The recent release of Zombieville USA has one melee weapon: a chainsaw. But it requires "ammo" in the form of fuel. The developer is expected to release an update (if it's not out already) that adds unlimited-use melee weapons (type unknown) so that you can cheat death a little longer when your other weapons are out of ammo.

Ah, thanks Carlos! It looks like there are *two* versions of this game in the store. The US one, and the International one. The link above is for the US version, whereas the one for the International version is: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=322977242&mt=8

Was able to access that and purchase the game. ..I wonder what the difference is now.

I find no difference between the tap and hold options. I stay on tap and use it like wargrunts. What I don't see is all the supposed funny comments from grandma, which would give the game a bit more flavor. Then again, who has time to read with ur finger in the way? How about actual funny voice fx from grandma, or would that be more annoying than a one hit wonder soundtrack??

Yeah, that house is pure evil. Unless properly armed with several deadly implements of war, no mere man would stand a chance.

I think this game is crap. People don't seem to care if they kust can spend their money. It is much too fast, the music is stressing and the gameplay is boring. Would be fun, if you had to defeat your grandma's house with several weapons and more and more zombies coming in waves.
But like this it is boring senseless.

Does one song count as a soundtrack? It honestly annoys me when you hear it repeat during the game. However, it is very good.
It'd also be nice to be able to turn sound effects on/off.

If you search for the game instead of using the link you might be lucky. The link didnt work for me neither but it sure enough was available and purchable. Cheers

Arn, if you go to options and change the control from "tap" to "Hold", you can basically control him using a virtual stick (or more like KillTest) – drag in any direction and he moves in that direction. Much better way to control the game.

I asked them that in the thread, and he said: "if the gamers want it, we'll do it" or something to that affect.
