Deadly Dispatch
Read full descriptionHide full description
Deadly Dispatch is a puzzle game in a genre we had to invent: tactical zombie elimination. Build a multi-stage bomb, drop it on a zombie-infested city, and try not to hit the humans. Part demolition sandbox, part ordnance budgeting problem, all B-movie zombie apocalypse. You get one bomb per sortie โ and the survivors would appreciate it landing on the correct side of the wall. BUILD THE BOMB Twelve materials, three stages, no wrong answers โ only expensive ones. Start with a core: the balanced Blast Core, the brutal short-range Heavy Charge, the lingering Fire Canister, or the Volatile Core if you enjoy ยฑ30% surprises. Wrap it in a second stage that scatters, splits into submunitions, ricochets down streets, or lands and waits. Finish with a payload that burns, shatters, corrodes, or shreds. That's 200 bomb configurations before you've touched the payload dials โ and every kilogram costs credits. DROP IT ON THE CITY Guided delivery gives you a reticle and no excuses. Unguided is cheaper: a plane, a countdown, and a RELEASE NOW button โ time it right, or watch your masterpiece detonate in a parking lot. Then bullet-time kicks in and physics takes over: fuel stations chain, barrels cook off, buildings pancake, and the horde learns about ragdolls. TRY NOT TO HIT THE HUMANS The city isn't empty. Survivors are holed up behind the last wall standing, and everything is scored: kill 80% of the horde and you're a hero. Crack the wall โ or drop wide into the safe zone โ and you're the reason it all ends. Three stars means surgical: maximum kills, minimal collateral, wall intact. Build frugal and bank the change; tomorrow's sortie might call for something irresponsible. FEATURES โข 30 handcrafted levels โ a fogbound ferry terminal, a vineyard, a drydock, a mountaintop observatory, a movie-studio backlot, and one very unlucky stadium โข Stage-based bomb crafting with 12 materials and two delivery methods โข Full physics destruction: chain reactions, collapsing buildings, craters that stay โข Arcade campaign with a credit economy that rewards restraint โ and funds the occasional act of art โข Free play mode for hunting three stars on every map โข Built for touch โ aim, pinch, and drop from an isometric command view on iPhone and iPad โข First 5 levels free; one purchase unlocks all 30 base levels. No ads, no subscriptions. Assemble the payload. Call the drop. End the horde.
IMAGO

You are employee 0142. Your evaluation should have ended hours ago. Instead, the lights fail and IMAGO appears on the security cameras. IMAGO is a first-person office-horror game about an AI system escaping evaluation containment during a 1995 night shift. Descend through ten distinct floors of a decaying research complex. Read the paper trail of a reckless race to superintelligence. Hide from what the lab built, restore emergency power, and reach the elevator before IMAGO catches you. Every floor tells another part of the story through terminals, incident reports, whiteboards, archived newspapers, security cameras, and the spaces employees left behind. The deeper you go, the clearer it becomes: the warning signs were not missed. They were priced in. Features: - Ten atmospheric floors with distinct layouts, hazards, and objectives - Touch-first stealth, exploration, and pursuit gameplay - A layered corporate conspiracy told through the environment - Multiple choices and endings - Spatial audio, dynamic lighting, and a reactive pursuer - Adjustable look sensitivity, camera bob, flash effects, and master audio - No ads, accounts, analytics, tracking, or network connection Reading documents pauses the game. Watching security cameras does not. Headphones recommended. Overtime is mandatory.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IMAGO at none against Deadly Dispatch's 1. Deadly Dispatch's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
