This must be done quickly, as the goal is to get all zombies to attack the neighbor’s farm. As they prepare to fight, they often get distracted and tapping their thought bubbles reassigns their focus to the task at hand and sends them, drooling, into battle. During invasions, the undead approach the neighboring farm one by one. Once your army has reached sizeable proportions and your zombies are starving (clicking on them with the multi tool shows how hungry they are), you can tap the red “invade” icon to go into a full-blown zombie battle. Adding flora increases your life source, which makes for a happier farm and prevents stillborn zombies. The food and zombie seeds, of course, are planted, but some of the decorative objects serve an important purpose as well. The gold acquired can be used in the market to buy everything from carrot seeds, fences, and potatoes, to more unusual farm supplies like headless zombies and palm trees. The zombies you reap become part of your zombie army (which is used for invasions), while the other crops are sold for gold. The former involves a task list of plowing, planting, and harvesting all of these are performed by tapping the plot of land. The game has two major activities: maintaining your own farm and invading neighboring real estate. Let’s see here, carrots, potatoes, and oh yes, the undead.
In the game, players are given a plot of land to transform into a zombie-infested goldmine, all the while checking back to the app frequently in order to tend to crops that are on a strict harvest schedule. If my Facebook suggestions and invitations are any indication, the Farmville and Café World fads are nowhere near over, so it’s no surprise that The Playforge is adding its own real-time farming simulation game into the mix with the new Zombie Farm app for iPhone and iPod Touch.
