Love it or hate it, Mountain Sheep’s Minigore [99¢ / HD] has left an undeniable mark in TouchArcade forum history. The thread in our upcoming games forum is still among the most popular threads of all time, and as Minigore’s cult status grew, the pre-release excitement reached never before seen levels. It’s even spawned some potentially cringe-worthy memes such as the “Minigore dog" to the right here. Whether a fairly simple, although admittedly dripping with character, dual stick shooter actually lived up to the “pre-launch hype" was debated for years after the game was initially released– And likely still will be debated in the comments of this very article.
After a series of updates and a iPad version, Mountain Sheep announced the upcoming Minigore Zombies earlier today. Details are vague, and the only hints come from developer Timo Vihola’s thread on our forums.
The features mentioned so far include tons of zombies, and even 15 zombie bosses. Enemies will be a little smarter, with attack patterns. In addition to more firepower and pickups, objects not have collision detection so you can do things like bounce grenades off walls. It’ll launch as a universal app, and Egoraptor is even making a return for more voice work.
Also, curiously enough, the teaser image specifically makes mention that Minigore Zombies is for iOS 5. Equip your tin foil hat and this could mean a few different things: First off, they could just be targeting iOS 5 because it potentially means better graphics since they don’t need to worry about older devices. Alternatively, Mountain Sheep could be using some cool iOS 5 specific features, with some kind of next-generation Game Center integration seeming the most likely if that’s the case.
What will actually be included? Well, we’ll just have to wait and see.
