Blue Wind today is pleased to introduce Zombie Shock 1.0, its bloody action/horror/adventure game for the iPhone, iPad, and iPhone touch. Its 22nd app accepted to the iTunes Store, the highly detailed shooter is based on the story of a genius biochemist who has contracted the FEAR virus and must escape from NYC. He must battle zombies, get money, buy better weapons, and upgrade his status. The elaborate manga-style graphics illustrate a story line that includes 50 different scenarios, 11 kinds of zombies, and 18 unique weapons.

The first title card sets up the background: “He is a genius biologist who has created an AIDS vaccine, ‘Revolution’, with his brother Cain in 2010. He has won a reputation as the world’s most promising biological researcher, but while working on his latest project in 2011 he was diagnosed with an unknown mental disorder, and is now under treatment in Lehason Mental Hospital.” Designed for two-handed play, the left controller operates Abel’s direction of movement as he runs from pursuing zombies, and the right controller operates aiming of his weapon. Tapping anywhere on the screen fires a round, as empty shells fall to the ground. The post-apocalyptic streets of New York provide the backdrop for the action, with abandoned vehicles, stores, zoos, and roadways in ruins.

Larry Snyder today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Dice Diving 1.0 for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Dice Diving is a new game that combines the excitement of competitive high-diving with the thrill of poker-style hand making.

Just as in high-diving, Dice Diving pushes the player to focus both on the degree of difficulty and individual judging of the dive. Using five dice the player is required to complete specific hands that represent the 3 elements of a high-dive difficulty, including the approach, the flight and the entry. At the same time, while trying to complete the difficulty, the player must also complete five free-play hands representing the five different judges.

Gameplay is quick and challenging. With a limited number of rolls, players are forced to make critical decisions balancing the pursuit of the best poker hand for the highest judges scores or completing the mandatory elements in the dive’s difficulty. By achieving both in 31 separate events, the player will be awarded with bronze, silver or gold medals and if they are good enough, they will stand alone as the world record holder against all of the dice diving community.
