ARTIFICIAL LIFE Launches Award Winning App Toy: Zombie Burbz
04 June 2012 - 9:00PM
Artificial Life, Inc. (OTC:ALIF), an innovative investment company,
announced today that its production studio ALife Studios, Inc. has
developed and launched a smartphone app called "Zombie Burbz",
which interacts with physical toy figures with WowWee Group Limited
on iTunes.
Zombie Burbz is sold under the AppGearā¢ brand, which has won the
Best of Toy Fair 2012 by Popular Science earlier this year.
Zombie Burbz consists of a collectible line of fun and
infectious Zombie toy characters that players can move across their
smartphone screen to interact and play the game. In the game,
zombies are tired of being misunderstood by their neighbors.
They're just the average, slowly decomposing suburbanites who want
to keep up with the Joneses, not eat them. These undead
trash-munchers need help to achieve the suburban dream, fight off
angry mobs of the living and feed their craving for garbage.
Features:
- 4 unique story lines (Avenue, Diner, Services or High School)
and 64 missions in total
- Use the deluxe Zombie toy figure across the screen to control
the in-game zombie action
- Control figures to unlock unique missions, abilities and
enemies on smartphone to progress through the game
- Find and use traps and weapons to fight human hordes
- Fend off attackers with screams, burps, snotballs and other
wretched weapons
- Trick enemies with stash-o'-cash, zombie-in-a-box, pinata and
other treacherous traps
- Collect garbage to boost health
- Compatible with iOS devices, and will be compatible with a
range of selected Android smart devices later this quarter
The game is now live on the Apple App Store and is available for
free download at:

"Collectable app toys are the latest trend in the world of toys
and mobile gaming. We are excited to work with WowWee Group to
bring these cool app toys to the market. This is a valuable
opportunity for our ALife Studios as this partnership leads to a
completely new and scalable business area which is expanding
rapidly. We have developed two app toys so far namely "Zombie
Burbz" and "Elite CommandAR", which made their debut at the CES in
Las Vegas in January 2012. We will develop and release more
innovative apps for toys soon. We hope this marks the beginning of
a long term and fruitful relationship with WowWee Group Limited,"
said Eberhard Schoneburg, CEO of Artificial Life, Inc.
