Zombie Trailer Park by Ninja Kiwi is (for those who haven't come across it before) another
free Flash title that has made the jump to the App Store. Interestingly, the game has
been converted with almost no changes (barring the interface) and to compensate for this
the price tag is a surprisingly reasonable '$0'.
The game itself is a fairly typical castle defense setup, with cash being earned over
time and units being purchased to run blindly in to their opposition until you've pushed
them back and destroyed their stronghold. Killing zombies also earns 'Yeehaw' points
that can be turned in to activate special abilities that help to push back a strong
assault or clinch the win.
There are only four stages to complete, with each one increasing the challenge while unlocking
additional abilities to help players out. It won't take veterans of the genre too long
to completely finish the game, though players can compete for the fastest times on Game
Center.
The biggest problem with Zombie Trailer Park is the super zoomed-out perspective that may
have worked reasonably well on large PC screens, but is just too small for the tiny iDevice
displays, making it easy to miss things like leaping zombies until they're already at your
trailer park. It's not a major issue and certainly not something to complain about while the
game remains free, but we can only hope more content and an update to the interface is
made before it jumps to a paid option.
