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.

WAITER

How good is your internal clock? WAITER is a dead-simple, oddly addictive timing game. You get a target - say 10 seconds — the screen goes dark, and you tap when you FEEL the time is up. No clock, no counting bar, no ticking. Just your gut. Then it shows exactly how far off you were, and whether you beat your best. HOW TO PLAY • See your target time. • Tap - the screen goes dark and a hidden timer starts. • Tap again the moment you think the time is up. • Get your error (+0.34s - too late!) and your score. Closer = more points, up to 1000 for a bullseye. THREE SOLO MODES • Classic-always 10 seconds. Build muscle memory and chase your best. • Random - a fresh target from 3 to 20 seconds every round. Keeps you honest. • Survival - random targets with a tolerance that shrinks each round. One miss ends the run. How far can you go? PARTY • Pass one phone around the table - 2 to 4 players, one screen. Closest tap takes the round. MORE • Session streaks and NEW BEST flashes • All-time stats: closest-ever tap, best score per mode, longest streak, perfect count, survival best • Satisfying haptics (toggleable) • A warm, hand-drawn paper look 100% on-device. No account, no ads, no network - nothing ever leaves your phone.
