    N.Y. Zombies was the most fun I've ever had in an iOS game. I was actually about to email the developer and be like "Hey! Y U NO MAKE A SEQUAL!" and then I stumbled upon this thread. It really does look like you guys are giving this your %100, which can only mean this is going to be fantastic. CAN'T. FLIPPING. WAIT.

    Yes, this looks better than the first one. I think I'm going to have to reinstall NYZ and re discover it. The atmosphere was pretty darn awesome. Looks like I'll have to get yet another zombie game in NYZ2. I just noticed in the description up to 20-30 zombies on screen at one time and Co-op. I'm sold !!!

    Zombie and shooter games get me every time. Looking forward to release time.

    FM set the bar pretty damn high with NYZ... It's a tough call saying this will be better than the first... Just as good? Hell, yeah! :D

    Of course, it might just be better than the first... that'd have to be a pretty damn awesome game!!!

    Definitely pouring a lot into this game ;) We hope it lives up to the first!

    Yeah we think thats one of the things that set the 1st apart, and are hoping to recapture that feeling in the 2nd. Co-op will be in 2 forms... and endless arena that you can play with friends (or random players) at any time to try to get a high score (really neat because of the different playstyles people can choose, based on the skill paths they took), and "team up" missions, which are just individual missions you can team up with others, but only for that one time.

    As far as zombie games go... yeah, that will be our biggest hurdle in a way. I still stand by the fact that 99% of zombie games are just ordinary games with zombies "thrown in." Most of the games you could replace with aliens or whatever, and have the same game. NYZ is a game ABOUT zombies... from the story, to the levels, to the atmosphere... it wouldn't work with anything else!

    Haha, there are BH billboards ;)

    ------

    On a side not, does anyone remember Epic Citadel? What do you think of having that type of "tap ground to move" movement as an alternative OPTION to free move (it would be a 2 finger tap in this case, bc we have tap to shoot)... we want some way to allow people to play this game one handed, like the first one -- especially for iPad users... without taking away free movement. Any other ideas?

    Yes, that's what I like about this game, it has a left for dead feel to it. I have no doubt in my mind that the sequel will be better because you guys are hanging on to the core or essence of the game and throwing in improvements. Nice Job!

    But the main option for free-moving is a joystick to move and tap to shoot, right?

    Two finger tap to move as a control OPTION sounds fine, could work well, I'd like to see how people use it, because shooting while moving would be a lot easier if you had that option :). #runningandgunning

    Correct. tap to shoot = "shooting from the hip" with less accuracy; you'll have to switch to iron sights for better long ranged shooting.

    Exactly... you could tap where you wanted to move, then just worry about shooting. The downside of course is that you can't backpedal... but we have a quick 180 degree turn in, so maneuverability would still be pretty good.

    I'm still digging the free roam with d pad. Being able to back pedal would be awesome and a little different from the first game
