Link: Supposed April Fool’s Joke ‘Zombie Gunship Arcade’ is a Real Game, Releasing Thursday
Jared Nelson at TouchArcade reveals that Limbic Studios, creators of the popular Zombie Gunship game, have a new side-scrolling interpretation of their zombie-shooting formula in the works, to be released on Thursday.
Jared Nelson at TouchArcade says:
…This past April 1st, Limbic announced in our forums that Zombie Gunship Arcadeâa side-scrolling, 2D, “de-make” of their hit titleâwas in the works. As the story went, a catastrophic event with a soft-serve ice cream machine ruined all of Limbic’s equipment, and they didn’t have any backups of their work. So, the best they could do to get things back up and running on short notice was a simplified, retro-fied version of Zombie Gunship.
Well, it turned out that the whole announcement was just an April Fool’s joke⦠or at least, that’s what Limbic wanted you to believe. They’ve just sent word that Zombie Gunship Arcade is in fact a real game, and it’s coming this Thursday.
Zombie Gunship Arcade appears to bring zombie shooting to a Flappy-Bird-style game design, with the associated touch-jumping. MFi controller support will be included as well; with any luck, that means controller support might eventually be on the table for the original Zombie Gunship games as well.
