If you have any mobile device, chances are you have played the smash hit Angry Birds. This game plays in a similar fashion. You play Bunny and you are defending a house in Suburbia, USA against waves of undead. Less like Angry Birds, this game is really more like basketball with a moving hoop the hoop being a zombies head, the ball being a shiny Easter egg (its got an Easter theme in that way I suppose). Thats the entire game right there, shooting eggs at zombies.
Its a bit odd that your shots can only be within a few possible trajectories; which means that you will be shooting at similar spots most of the game. Combined with the zombies coming from the right side of the screen at all times you can imagine this game feels awfully repetitious in a hurry. It helps that the time of day changes with each wave, more enemy types are added over time, and there are more of them with each wave, but the game plays the same no matter what wave you make it to. Hitting three headshots in a row rewards a special field-clearing bomb, and while this is a nice touch it is harder to pull off with the zombies arms as protection, essentially making it a vestigial feature un-useable beyond the first few waves unless you have insane accuracy and timing. Ultimately, you'll be held back by the forced wait you must endure until your last egg lands, so have two or three undead reach a certain point on the lawn and you're out of bombs, it is basically game over.
So overall you have a game that moves at a very slow pace, unlike the other game about upset Aves. Yes, its fun and sports slick cartoonish graphics, but after a few plays you may be ready to return to Angry Birds.
