Gamedoctors, an independent game development studio, today announced ZombieSmash!, an undead-themed castle defense game for the iPhone and iPod Touch that casts players as Joey, a lone survivor pit against a herd of writhing, unrelenting zombies. To defeat the undead masses, players must use their fingers to flick and smash them until they're un-undead.

Set to hit the App Store in March 2010 for $1.99, ZombieSmash! has a compelling cartoon art style, addictive gameplay, and zombies. Some of the game’s imaginative features include:

• Sophisticated ragdoll physics produce unique and hysterical zombie deaths, and the proprietary SplatterEngine™ renders adorable cartoon blood and gore in a convincing and entertaining fashion.
  
• To aid players in their fight, over 20 specials allow for creative zombie demolition - including fun implements like asteroids, wrecking balls, liquid nitrogen and a gigantic, rolling boulder – combine specials (for instance, smash nitrogen-frozen zombies with a boulder!) for added hilarity.
  
• Three game modes provide limitless replay value: Campaign Mode challenges players to survive for 31 intense days against the mounting zombie threat, Endless Siege Mode confronts them with a never-ending zombie assault, and Sandbox Mode gives you all the tools to rain destruction down on those stinking, moaning zombies without any of the peril.
  
• Social features including Chillingo’s Crystal and Playhaven for online and community support, and the ability to share screenshots of your best ZombieSmashing moments!
  
• Original soundtrack produced by famed game music composer Chris Hülsbeck, the talented musician behind the scores to classic games like Turrican, Giana Sisters and the Star Wars: Rogue Squadron series.

“Like you, we at Gamedoctors have a love/hate relationship with Zombies. We hate their brain-eating ways, their incessant moaning, and don’t get us started on the stink – but we love shooting, smashing, dismembering and otherwise causing them harm with dangerous weapons and explosives!” said Dr. Matthias Höchsmann, co-founder of Gamedoctors. “With that in mind, we set out to develop ZombieSmash!, a fun and creative castle defense game that we think has the potential to spawn an entirely new genre: Survival Comedy.”
