About

Deadly Dispatch

Features
Read 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 — and the survivors would appreciate it landing on the correct side of the wall. BUILD THE BOMB Twelve materials, three stages, no wrong answers — 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 ±30% 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 — 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 — 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 — or drop wide into the safe zone — 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 • 30 handcrafted levels — a fogbound ferry terminal, a vineyard, a drydock, a mountaintop observatory, a movie-studio backlot, and one very unlucky stadium • Stage-based bomb crafting with 12 materials and two delivery methods • Full physics destruction: chain reactions, collapsing buildings, craters that stay • Arcade campaign with a credit economy that rewards restraint — and funds the occasional act of art • Free play mode for hunting three stars on every map • Built for touch — aim, pinch, and drop from an isometric command view on iPhone and iPad • First 5 levels free; one purchase unlocks all 30 base levels. No ads, no subscriptions. Assemble the payload. Call the drop. End the horde.

Train your brain with logic. Fall in love with the birds. BirdBrainz is a colorful puzzle where a flock of feathered friends absolutely refuse to share a row, a column, or so much as a diagonal glance. Your job: figure out exactly where each one belongs, using nothing but deduction. Every puzzle is generated to have exactly one solution. There's no guessing required—only logic. Place a bird where the others don't like, and the newcomer startles them away, feathers ruffling in a huff. Whether you have two minutes or twenty, BirdBrainz offers relaxing puzzles that reward careful thinking—and a cast of characters that make solving them fun. FEATURES • More than 40,000 puzzles • One unique solution for every puzzle • Beautiful animated bird artwork, with signature reactions for every species • Six difficulty tiers, from a gentle warm-up to seriously tricky, unlocking as you improve • Helpful hints when you're stuck • Simple controls—tap or drag birds into place EASY TO LEARN Each bird has its own home. Birds don't share rows. Birds don't share columns. Birds can't perch next to other birds, even diagonally. Those simple rules combine to form a huge range of puzzles, from simple to seriously tricky. HOWEVER YOU LIKE TO SOLVE You can mark off every impossible cell before placing a single bird — total certainty, one step at a time. Or you can place a bird the moment it feels right, then backtrack if a bird objects. Most of the time you'll land somewhere in between, and BirdBrainz keeps up either way: mark, place, undo, repeat. There's no wrong way to think it through. MEET THE CAST You'll start with 5 recurring birds and meet 4 more as you progress—from the bold red Cardinal and the sharp-crested Blue Jay to the tiny, hovering Hummingbird and the round, watchful Snowy Owl. Each one has its own look, its own moves, and its own opinion about being told where to sit. RELAXING No timers. No rushing. No pressure. Just you, colorful birds, and satisfying deductions. Download BirdBrainz and see how many puzzles—and ruffled feathers—you can rack up.
