Apps for smartphones have become the order of the day, and developers are constantly competing with each other to produce creative, entertaining and absorbing apps, for the iPhone (News - Alert), iPad and iPod touch.
Capcom Mobile, a leading worldwide developer, publisher, and distributor of interactive entertainment for game consoles, PCs, and handheld and wireless devices, has launched yet another of its free-to-play social game for iOS – the Zombie Cafe – in which the player controls a budding café that is staffed by 'Zombinions.'
The food industry is regarded as a serious game full of business and players in the world of Zombie Café. Players have to do a lot of things to make the place more inviting, the café has to be decorated with more than 100 items, using a wait staff comprised of undead zombies. Managing menus and preparing up to 50 zombie-inspired recipes are also tasks that players have to accomplish. As good help is hard to find, zombie workers are high on the staff list.
If any of the fussy zombies try and eat a customer, the player's star rating goes down, but the player always has control, for example, if the atmosphere is heating up too much, zombie workers can be directed to neighboring cafés, to steal recipes.
Players can connect with their Facebook (News - Alert) friends, order food, collect fees, or even share recipes. The absence of a network signal doesn't impede the game in any way. Users can earn special "Frequent Fryer" bonuses by cooking when they are online every day.
The app is free to download and play, but players can expedite the growth of their café by purchasing toxin as downloadable content. The game is being developed and enhanced further. Information can be receivedfrom the Capcom Official press site.
Founded in 1983, Capcom has created hundreds of games and maintains operations in the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Tokyo, Korea and Hong Kong, with corporate headquarters located in Osaka, Japan.
