Press Release

Lauging Jackal have today announced that their critically acclaimed chain reaction shooter OMG-Z will rise again on PlayStation Vita in an enhanced remake, OMG HD Zombies!

If that name seems familiar, it’s because OMG HD Zombies! is a wholly revamped full-blooded Vita homage to Laughing Jackal’s Minis title, OMG-Z, which first reared its badly decomposing head in 2011 and is currently ranked in the Top 10 PSP games of all time on Metacritic.

For those of you who never experienced the simple joys of zombie-horde-popping the first time around, the undead infection in OMG HD Zombies! is the result of a scientific experiment on a virulent fungus that causes its zombified victims to explode when attacked. Any infected matter ingested or inhaled by a human victim causes them to become a zombie in turn.

That’s pretty cool in itself, but the best part is that if any infected matter lands on another zombie then that zombie explodes too, causing a rapid chain reaction of gory explosions and maximising the likelihood of nearby victims being infected. Wise to this knowledge, your Riot Cop character is able to take down whole city blocks of the undead with a single well-placed rifle round and a well chosen vantage point.

And with OMG HD Zombies! Laughing Jackal have added some exciting new features, including:

Improved Graphics – OMG HD Zombies! has been completely redrawn in HD.

More levels – Not only have the existing levels been remade, but Laughing Jackal have added 19 new levels, upping to total to 100.
