    I do think this has an almost Minigore vibe but a bit more variety in weapons, baddies, bosses, and terrain that does effect gameplay (i.e. REAL OBSTACLES AND WALLS).

    Fun game. My main complaint is the special weapons button is hard to use. Since you have to be facing the direction you want it to fire and the joysticks re-center when you lift and put your finger back down (which is a nice feature) this also causes the special weapon button to move. So I often end up missing it because I remove my right thumb for a bit to get ready and it goes away.

    THIS!!!! also can we get an auto-aim feature? I find that to be a lot easier for some.

    How about a robotic arm that plays the game for you!

    this worth the money(its only 1.80/$3 but :/ ) i mean is it got a lot more going for it than say minigore (bored of it because of lack of maps/guns/stuff)

    Agree others on the language bit. It's one thing if the Duke Nukem audience is who the devs are after, but if not I have a problem. I can't pass my iPhone to my kids with this game on it.

    I'm not real crazy about the language myself - not becuase I find it particularly offensive really (my kids have played it too) but mostly just becuase I find it unnecessary. It doesn't add anything to the game for me and just comes off sounding like a lame attempt to be edgy or something.

    Otherwise, I like the game a lot... :)

    ...and yes, this is one of those games thats all about the survival mode and leaderboards. I think its more fun than Minigore.

    So the vibe I'm essentially getting is that this is a slightly better Minigore with unnecessary cursing just to trying to be edgy for 3 bucks..? And a 40 minute campaign?

    I think I'll wait for a sale..

    Right, the Campaign might only take about 40 minutes of solid play, but the 5 maps of Survival play are infinitely replayable (once unlocked) just like in Minigore.

    If expecting an epic campaign with Shakespearean dialog, move along, but if wanting a good dual stick shooter (many baddies, weapons, bosses, and maps) with a cute sense of Beavis and Butthead potty humor, welcome aboard! ;)

    Won't be a sale. Its Halfbrick :D. But yep, 40 mins campaign, and survival maps, though survival gets very difficult around round 8. A bit too difficult imo.

    What? Do the Survival maps have distinct rounds? This could be but I totally missed it.

    Do the bosses ever show up in Survival?

    I bought it last night. It was an ok game. It was fun for a while, and then it was not.

    If it had the graphics of minigore, then i doubt many zombies would show up because of lag etc.

    Waves or Rounds are all the same, no problem there but are you saying that there are sort of "pauses" in the action and then it starts up again with even more baddies?

    This is probably just proof I never made it past the first wave of any of these Survival modes. ;)

    No.....you cant even tell if it starts a new wave, the zombies just keep coming and coming. They get faster, BIGGER, and depending on what map your on, they shoot guns, throw ninja stars etc. at you

    Yes! I would die laughing. But as far as kids are concerned, I understand completely. It wouldn't be hard to implement a censorship for the language. This is a game where you are shooting up corpses in a cartoon yet bloody fashion.
