TUAW's Daily App: Aftermath

But Aftermath is still worth a look. While a lot of zombie games on the store go abstract or silly, this one sticks pretty close to realistic, and it has some serious quality and interesting gameplay behind it. You're fighting zombies and moving through levels, but instead of aiming and shooting a gun, you're actually aiming a flashlight, and your gun automatically fires for you. The projected light makes the whole affair very atmospheric; the game's just dark enough that it actually feels a little spooky trying to navigate the shuffling brain-eaters to your next objective.
Particularly if you're a fan of Left 4 Dead or that ilk, Aftermath is probably worth a look -- it's US$1.99 on the App Store right now. And please, developers, unless they're as inventive and well-done as this one, let's keep the zombie games to a minimum. Maybe we could fight werewolves instead? Or angry robots?

I'll be honest -- I heard that Aftermath was a zombie game and almost gave up on it. I wouldn't be offended if you did the same, since...

You missed it. Last week it was free!
Fun game, but the only bummer is that it requires iOS 4, so I can't play it on my iPad! Until November. grrrrrrrrrrrr
Another even funner zombie game is Zombie Highway (also requires iOS 4).
@fnord... Good idea, but if they were Androids, it would be even better. ;^)

A new version was released *today* which works on iOS 3.1.3 and above!
How about happy robots?
Well-meaning, poorly programmed robots that are trying to help mankind, but are totally screwing us anyway, so we have to shoot their (literally) shiny, happy asses?
Shiny, happy robots eating lead?
My only problem with the game is that it's a little hard to see everything. I understand that's kinda the idea, but it's still difficult to make out the zombies even when the flashlight is shining directly on them...
