Boxhead: Zombie Wars debuts on iPhone, iPod touch

MEDL Mobile has released Boxhead: Zombie Wars for iPhone and iPod touch, a version of the popular online Flash based game.

Famed games developer Sean T. Cooper saw the iPhone platform as an opportunity to launch the newest member of the Boxhead family. 25,000,000 players and over 250,000,000 rounds have already been played online.


In Boxhead: Zombie Wars, you play as Jon Bambo, a black-clad mercenary with an arsenal of deadly destructive weapons.

Your aim is to keep him alive against waves of flesh-eating zombies and fire-breathing demons using a array of offensive and defensive weapons. According to Cooper, the stronger you get, the stronger - and more numerous - your enemies get.

Available from the Apple iTunes App Store, Boxhead: Zombie Wars costs 1.79 and requires the iPhone 2.2.1 Software Update or later.

MEDL Mobile, a company that builds iPhone applications, and encourages development with an App Incubator scheme, is also the team behind Problem Halved, developed by Rob Shoesmith, a binman from Coventry.

In recent months, Shoesmith has appeared on numerous radio and TV shows talking about his iPhone success while still working emptying the bins as his carrer develops.

MEDL Mobile continues to seek ideas for new iPhone applications in return for a substantial slice, 75 per cent, of any profits.

Which applications get the green light depends on five factors says MEDL Mobile – originality, functionality, simplicity, revenue, opportunity and fun. More information on how to submit ideas can be found here.
