Yes, Brainsss is yet another zombie game for the App Store. But wait — this one features a unique twist and it’s a whole lot of fun. Rather than running from zombies, killing zombies, or defending your house from zombies, in Brainsss you are the zombie.
As a member of the undead, your aim is to recruit other zombies to your group and take down mankind. Keep building your swarm until its big enough to break down the human defenses throughout a ton of good-looking levels set in suburbia, hospitals, parking lots, airports, cities, and more. There are over 70 achievements to collect along your way, and the title’s developer promises a brand new level each week.
