**WIN A COPY FREE! FIND OUT HOW AFTER THE JUMP!**
If you think you’ve seen some gory (and fun) iPhone titles in the past, well sadly, you have seen NOTHING yet.
You’ve seen them come out with “fancy” apps/games before that people love. What you didn’t know is they’ve been cooking up a gory, casual and all out pizza making fun!
This game proves two things: Appy Entertainment CAN put out real games, and DAMN good ones.
Presentation
If there’s one thing we learned from their previous apps (Appy Newz and FaceFighter), it’s that they have highly quality presentations to match that of NimbleBit’s games. It’s a funny coincidence that both developers hang out around the San Diego area.
We’ll discuss the overall story of the game later on but as you can see on these screenshots, you run a zombie pizza parlor complete with animated body parts as your ingredients.
It’s an all out gorefest with stomach churning graphics coupled with some sounds that’ll make some yell EWW!
Controls
Everything’s touch control. Touch and ingredient to drag it to your pizza dough. Swipe up to push it to the oven and voilah! Yummy zombie pizzas.
Gameplay
As I sort of hinted earlier, you run an unorthodox pizza parlor for (and only) zombies. The game’s setup as the “kitchen” of your pizza parlor complete with conveyor belts and body parts dispenser.
Your goal is to feed the hungry zombies which silhouettes are showing on your foggy window pane. You got to keep track of two things: the “angry” zombie bar near the body parts dispenser, and the clock above the window which acts as your timer.
The scoring works in the body part combos you make per pizza. There are three combinations of four ingredients per pizza (viewable using the “Cookbook”): half and half, one ingredient, and different ingredients. Each body parts’ multipliers vary per part with the roaches scoring the highest.
Zombie Pizza does a WONDERFUL job of intensifying the game with 2 pizzas per round, broccoli (which zombies don’t eat), bottles you have to smash to reveal ingredients, and even special zombie pizza orders for higher scores.
Lastly, medals are awarded and pizza parlor rank “promoted” after each round. There are about 20+ levels or so which should keep you eww-ing and laughing for hours.
Suggestions
The game can push itself to “classic” status if they add a global scoring system per round, and an added “survival” mode. Make and toss as much pizzas you can. Add some global scoring for some epic ownage.
As far as little changes are concerned, the ability to quit the “scoring” sheet animation would be nice. The game sort of gives out the instructions as you go along and not at once, so a stand alone help page would work as well.
Conclusion
It’s one of the titles that’ll surprise you. Don’t let the screenshots take control of your decision whether to buy the game or not. It looks harder and more fun than they make it seem (video later today).
It’s humorous wacky and wildy put together (zombies throw fits and bang your parlor if the meter reaches its limit) creating hours of unlimited (if survival gets put in place) playtime.
For now, it’s definitely one of those titles you should check out. And we’ll even dare say at $0.99, you should download the game right away.

Damn.. what is there that’s SFW?
Lol, how about the hair that accumulates on the shower drain when James takes a shower?
I know I’d never eat that nor think about it unless I want to regurgitate my own hair that I ate from my shower drain after it accumulated after taking a shower.
I definitely won’t ever eat A HOUSE COCKROACH… Yuk!
Eaten raw or lightly roasted in hot ashes, the witchetty grub is something I’ll never put in my mouth…
Balut, is a fertilized duck egg, with a partially formed fetus inside. It is usually eaten by cracking open the shell and drinking the fluid. Then fetus is seasoned with salt and pepper, and eaten raw. These eggs can be commonly found in the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia.
NO! THANK YOU!
Hahaha, mini me should definitely win, anyway, I would eat neither the app store review process (cus it’s so disgusting and sickening) nor would I eat that weird green thing stuck between my toes, hmmm, actually *om nom nom* that’s not half bad
I don’t eat elephant testicles and owl eyes !!
I will never eat moldy cheese. I could eat insects (and have) or a full football for that matter before I’d eat moldy cheese.
Pretty much anything featured on “Zimmern’s Bizzare World” or “Bourdain’s No Reservations.”
Especially bile. but I bet Zombies LOVE bile!
Thanks for the giveaway and I would never eat This thing I found on the Internet while typing up most disgusting thing to eat calle kopi luwak which is pretty much animal crap. But somehow it is special because the animal eats certain kinds of berries. It might be special and good and all that but someones never going to get their first kiss. So in the end is it worth eating it?? You be the judge.
Any bug that looks disgusting. I would HATE to have one in my mouth!
ah, nico, I must correct you. Kopi Luwak isn’t animal crap (it’s just found in it). It’s actually coffee beans that are “processed” though the digestive tract of an Indonesian civet.
Choke on this little tidbit of info: The civet family has “anal scent glands that secrete a fluid with a musky odor” (American Heritage Dictionary - via urbanlegands.about.com).
yeah, I think I’ll pass too
oh and I could never eat a geoduck. You know the sea clam that looks like it’s got a giant phallus coming out of it.
I know it’s just a clam, but can’t get past the way it looks.
I would never eat a midget cuz it wouldn’t fill me up.
I’d just be hungry for another later, especially since I’d already got the taste for one. And it would be to tiring to go and catch them. I suppose I could just stakeout a baby gap.
*sorry. I have nothing against midgets, but you wanted something weird and it was the best i could do.
Rotting whale carcass just holds no appeal to me!
I would never eat Marylin Manson’s snot rockets! He had swine flu… icky!
