Pictures from the End Times

farm

Most of you would have seen this level before, it’s the farm; nothing like rural bliss.

What you might not have seen before is the carnage that now builds up in each level as you progress. Using some kind of black arts I’m not meant to know about (they hiss at me when I ask), the coders do some trickery to make dead zombies and stuff remain on the ground. It looks cool and It’s good for the crops I’m told.

farm2

Here is the farm again, at dawn this time. This picture also shows off the “tank”. I was originally told they were put in the game to be a ‘super zombie’, but I’m pretty sure it was really because everyone wants an opportunity to kill a steroid addled bouncer… sorry a ZOMBIE steroid addled bouncer.

diner

This picture is of the diner level. It also shows a zombie being shot in the face with a shotgun. They hate that kind of thing.

hospital

And here is the hospital. We all know shows and games about hospitals are utterly boring,… but the good news is that zombies can spice up pretty much anything. In fact studies have shown that even “Scrubs” would be almost bearable if some undead roamed the halls….

upgrades

Last but not least is the upgrade menu. Smooth and intuitive – it will let you fight the undead horde in the style to which you are accustomed as an Apple fanboy.

Salutations avid gamers and interested parties.

It is with a massive level of excitement and pride that I can announce we’re about to hit the BETA milestone of Zogma’s development. What does this mean for you? Well it means that one of the best games ever made for the iPhone is coming your way in the very near future.

Here’s what you can expect soon:

  • A spanky new video showcasing how awesome this thing is going to be
  • New screenshots of final levels, weapons and the games antagonists, the undead
  • The release of Zogma, straight to an iPhone near you.

Thanks for waiting this long guys, It’ll totally be worth it.

Tools for the job: The machine gun

While there is nothing wrong with the scalpel like finesse of the sniper rifle or the scatter punch of the shotgun, sometimes in this crazy old post apocalyptic world you just need to kill things… fast. Enter the machine gun.

Guaranteed to hurl out a deadly steady stream of bullets, the machine gun is your party’s real damage dealer. It’s an unimaginative butcher of a weapon, but if you are keen to make the undead feel like British infantry on the first day of the Somme – then buy one.

If you still have any doubts about why you’ll need a machine gun or two I’ll leave you with some words of wisdom from Voltaire (who despite being French, did know a bit about fighting).

God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

iPod comp extended until 15th Jan 2010

After some consideration we have decided Jumbo Squid will be extending the entry deadline for the iPod giveaway competition. We will now be accepting entries up until the end of day, 15/01/10. So enter at http://zogma.mobi/comp-form/ up until this date!


Why you ask?

Well not only have we been flat out burning the midnight oil making Zogma the awesome thing that it is; we’ve also been busy stockpiling canned food, welding metal grills to ours cars and waiting for our shotguns to arrive (boo to Australia’s zombie friendly, but otherwise sensible gun ownership laws).

Otherwise the deal is the same – so get those entries in! You can find the entry form at http://zogma.mobi/comp-form/
