Ghosts'n Goblins. Ghouls'n Ghosts. These are names that can conjure up a deep seeded fear that represents some of the harshest platformers to grace arcades and home consoles. So it's no surprise that some may avoid Ghosts'n Zombies by Tipcat Mobile expecting another platformer, but those who do avoid it will be missing out on a fun and challenging action shooter that's perfect for gaming on the go.

Ghosts'n Zombies is the story of an elderly monk and his quest to eliminate the demons from an ancient chapel. Each level of the story mission will pit you against waves of foes with nothing but your wits, a shotgun pistol and various other power ups to protect you. Tilting your touch device will move the monk from side to side and touching the screen will fire your weapon. The name of the game is efficiently clearing levels, collecting ammunition off your foes and building a rage meter to gain access to special weapons.

The game's set in a Gothic cartoony 2D world and features great special effects and plenty of enemies to plow through. Besides the story missions, a survival mode is also available for score junkies and casual players can also be introduced to the game through a simple tutorial. OpenFeint is supported for access to online achievements and scoreboards.

This is a game perfect for score junkies and action fans and oozes style at every turn. From its amusing and irreverent art style to the quick paced gameplay and Gothic soundtrack, Ghosts'n Zombies is non-stop fun.
