Zombie Puzzle Panic July 3rd! Hey TA forum friends! Just wanted give you guys the scoop on a new game we are helping release from fellow Canadian developer Massive Damage (creators of Please Stay Calm) called Zombie Puzzle Panic! Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Being a "publisher" as well as a development team, we have always wanted to work with a wide variety of game types. Be it action, puzzle, racing and more. One genre we never really got into though was match-3. We know match-3's can be a divisive genre, but when done right, they can be really fun and we love them. So when Massive Damage came to us with their unique spin and super fun game Zombie Puzzle Panic, we jumped at the chance to work with them. Zombie Puzzle Panic is maybe best described as 1 part Candy Crush, 1 part Fallout 3 and 1 part zombie apocalypse It uses some familiar match-3 mechanics but changes up the formula by adding various types of zombies, weapons and survivors to the mix. Mission types vary from taking out zombies, to rescuing survivors to protecting scientists as hordes of the undead swarm your playing field. Some zombies just wander aimlessly while others scratch up or freeze your board making it harder to make matches. You can even deploy armed survivors and position them on the playing field to give yourself a fighting chance! All these things add up to a super fun, addicting and unique game that we hope you guys will dig. It is probably no surprise, but the game will be F2P and we hope that we hit a fair balance for all players to enjoy.
Thanks! Yea the Massive Damage team did a great job putting this together. I love the Fallout 3 vibe of the game.
Please stay calm was awesome! I tend to stick to match 3 RPG games, but I'll try this too, since you guys at Noodlecake rock
Thanks! It is a little lighter on the RPG side of things and heavier on the action side. You need to deploy weapons and survivors and actually use the matches to battle zombies on the board as opposed to characters fighting above.
Hey folks, Ken from Massive Damage here. I just gave Ryan some more badass screenshots for his post. We're really excited about this game launch, we've been working on this game for almost a year to get the feel just right. Looking forward to hearing what you guys think about it next week! cheers, Ken

The game looks great and I love a good match 3 game. Will this be Universal? Are the social aspects intrusive? What kind of IAPs can we expect and is there any IAP to make it a "premium" style game?
There isnt a "one purchase to make premium" type iap but they really are not in your face either. Instead of a one off 99 cent purchase for power ups at the end of a level, you can use Vungle or in game coins to get more turns. Similar to how Disco Zoo does it. Plus instead of charging a dollar per power up at the end of levels, we let you earn them for free. However there is a limit to how many you can hold (it is still a lot) and you can pay a one time set of coins to get an unlimited supply. That is pretty much it.
