Zynga Zombifies Mountain View’s Android Statue In Preparation For ZombieSmash Global Launch.

This morning, Google employee Steven Le posted a photo of the Android statue outside his office, which looked a bit stranger than usual:

While the statue’s makeover was mysterious at first glance, a press release and accompanying video from Zynga soon clarified the situtation:

ZombieSmash!, powered by Zynga’s proprietary and extremely bloody SplatterEngine, includes more than 30 upgrades and “special weapons” (i.e. asteroids, wrecking balls and liquid nitrogen). Additionally, the game comes with four different game modes; here’s Zynga’s description of them:

Campaign Mode: Challenges players to survive for over 31 intense days against the mounting zombie threat and another 30 nights in the Camp Nowhere campaign
Endless Siege Mode: Confronts players with a never-ending zombie assault – hold out as long as possible, racking up an ever-rising body count
Sandbox Mode: Gives players all the tools to rain destruction down on those stinking, moaning zombies without any of the peril
Bonus Nights: Smash and destroy zombies in new ways. Unlock this special mode through extended gameplay and by using your braaains!

Again, ZombieSmash! will be available in Google Play later this week; for a “limited time,” it will cost $.99, and after that the price will be raised to $1.99. To sweeten the deal, live wallpapers will be included, and the game will be tablet-optimized. For more info, check out the press release below or the Play page for the Canadian edition of the game.
