A path leads to each of the eggheads and several kinds of brains are distributed throughout it; these attract zombies that in turn, eat them. The player's task is to combine three identical brains into groups, which makes them disappear, and as a result, the same happens to zombies willing to eat them. Combining the brains together earns the player points that allow them to unleash different special powers, such as immobilizing the enemy for a specified period of time. The pace of gameplay in Zombie Match Defense is slow, however, for the zombies move only after the player does. On the other hand, the game is not easy and requires good planning.

All three characters are frequently getting in each other’s way. In contrast to the original game, the new version features refreshed, high-resolution graphics. The developers have also fixed many of the bugs of the original game and recorded a new version of dubbed dialogue sequences.

Warbits
April 13, 2016
Strategy, Hotseat, Internet, Multiplayer, Singleplayer, Turn-based.
A mobile strategy game featuring a turn-based combat system. It was developed by the Risky Lab studio. The action is set in the near future when humans agreed on wars being a method of solving disputes that is simply too expensive. As a result, all military conflicts were transferred into virtual reality in order for special war simulators to replace actual warfare. The game is based on mechanics of classic turn-based strategies, featuring a simple combat system which nonetheless, offers a large number of applicable tactics. The game features a relatively small number of units balanced following the rock-paper-scissors pattern. However, each of them is very different from the rest and irreplaceable in combat. Warbits offers both a single-player campaign and multiplayer competition online or in the so-called hot seat mode. The game stands out with simplistic, but also incredibly colorful cartoonish visuals.

Disney Crossy Road
April 4, 2016
Arcade, Auto-runner, Crossover, Disney, Cartoons, Animated TV Series, Singleplayer.
A free-to-play mobile arcade game developed by Hipster Whale - the creators of the original Crossy Road. The game offers mechanics identical to those present in the original. The player's task is to safely get the character across a street or a river. It is not easy however, for the streets are swarming with speeding vehicles and trains, as well as other obstacles. The controls are simplistic, requiring the player to jump forward and turn left or right only. The game features infinite, randomly generated tracks. The playthrough ends when the player makes a mistake. Starting each new game is all about making more progress than previously - the player competes against other player's high scores as well. What differentiates the game from its predecessor is the roster, including such Disney and Pixar characters such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Mufasa or Buzz Astral. Additional characters can be unlocked using coins collected while playing or by spending real money through microtransactions.
