Get Dead 'n' Furious now

First of all, we're fond of this kind of arcade game. We really thought it was possible to recreate the same atmosphere on the DS, largely thanks to the stylus.

Our first problem we faced was the reload system - obviously we couldn't ask players to touch outside of the screen to reload! So this idea of drag 'n' dropping bullets came along, and it satisfied us.

We also had the difficulty problem, as aiming on a TV screen with a lightgun is much more difficult than tapping on the DS touch-screen to kill enemies. So we decided to go for a 'prioritising' approach, where you determine the order you shoot rather concentrating on your aim. We think you will find this to be another kind of challenge, especially in later levels!

Then, we had to animate as many enemies on screen as we could to stick to arcade standards. We did this thanks to our 1337 Engine, which gives a maximum of six independent zombies plus the player's animated arms.

In Dead 'n' Furious we wanted two co-operative players to replicate the mood of the arcade games. In a future sequel we may try to have some competitive gameplay, or mini-games.

It takes me, who knows the game well, approximatively 45 minutes to do the game from A-to-Z in normal mode.

I can assure you that first-timers will take much longer! Once you've finished it you can redo the game in Furious mode (featuring more agressive zombies), or even God mode (with all weapons unlocked right from the start).
