There are a lot of defense/dual stick arcade shooters out these days; we’ve reviewed several here for the ZRC, like ‘Zombie Apocalypse‘, Yet Another Zombie Defense (aptly named), or the infamous ‘I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1NIT!!!!1′.

In a crowded field, how do you compete? Well, we’d suggest not entering such a scrum of violence against the virtual Differently Animated to start with, here at the ZRC. To the developers at Team ZPZ, a different thought apparently occurred:

“What if we make the Zombies *Zoo Animals*?”

Yes, it’s an Anti-Zombie dual stick shooter where you gun down Zombie Rhinos and other Zoo creatures, who are surely highly endangered specimens, considering the relative rarity of, say, Living rhinos to start with.

How conservation minded! What bunch of greenies they must be at Team ZPZ.

How tragic too, because honestly the Zombie Zoo animals they’ve come up with are pretty adorable, and I’m sure they just want to be your friends, if you could put down the gun and be reasonable for a minute.

Instead of course, you get wave after wave of violence, like the following:

Shocking. That particular zoo must have had the largest rhino breeding program on Earth.

Apparently the game will be out soon, on February 4th, if you need to evaluate this newest entry in the crowded and very antisocial subgenre yourself.

A bit more information is available here; thanks go out to the folks at BuyZombie for bringing this to our attention as well.
