    Applied for beta; thank you in advance for any consideration. The gameplay video is vague but reminds me of Zombilution.

    I think I saw a "x1" in the corner of the screen. I assume that would be zoom.

    It's realtime when you're in the mission but turn based (day by day) when you're not in a mission, meaning you have as much time as you need outside of missions to buy supplies, check the global situation, check duty rosters of marines,researchers,diplomats,doctors and communications. :)

    Yes you can use the standard IOS pinch/zoom on the tactical map and during missions (up to 2 times the size you see in the video) I wasn't able to show that as I made the sneak peek in the simulator which doesn't allow multitouch :)
    As for the X1, X2, X3 that is actually for speeding up game play. Zombies don't walk that fast in X1 speed, so if you're 'hungry' to get eaten quickly (ie; want humans and zombies to move faster), you can increase the game speed, although probably not such a wise thing to do when u have tonnes of zombies after you and the survivors :)

    Haven't seen zombilution before but War of the Zombie is inspired by games such as C&C:Red Alert and The Last Guy. :) Oh... and of course one of my favorites... X-Com!

    There is a pinch/zoom feature during mission and on the tactical map. Secondly when you tap a Safe Team member's tab (bottom left) the mission map scrolls to that marine.

    @XvEsunavX :
    Thanks man :) I'm hoping i can get it out before WWZ comes out, i did see the trailer of the movie and it looks awesome. Have yet to read the book but i am as crazy about zombies as they are about human flesh ;)

    @oooooomonkey:
    Approved you as well as XvEsunavX, and also the rest of you guys from touch arcade already ;) Please note if some of you have more then 1 device I have chosen to allow only your biggest devices (as apple limits the number of developer devices).

    Played the beta a bit and it is amazing; I was initially skeptical but it's very nice.

    Indeed it is! I have noticed after playing two rounds, one after another, both froze close to the end of the game. Don't know if it is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong.

    I signed up for the beta, but I'm kind of wary. What does Testflight change on your device? It says it changes your settings. Nothing permanent or that would affect other apps, right?

    I signed up to Testflight. How do you try betas? I'm new to this.

    Once you're signed up on TestFlight you have to request to join a beta team. Use the link below, posted by the War of Zombies developers, to request to join their team. If approved they will add your device to the profile and you will be able to access a subsequent build (which will be e-mailed to you and all beta testing team members).
