OMG-Z (Game) - Released For The PS Vita

For more on the game, visit their website here.

Laughing Jackal have today announced that their critically acclaimed chain reaction shooter OMG-Z will rise again on PlayStation Vita in an enhanced remake, OMG HD Zombies!

If that name seems familiar, it’s because OMG HD Zombies! is a wholly revamped full-blooded Vita homage to Laughing Jackal’s Minis title, OMG-Z, which first reared its badly decomposing head in 2011 and is currently ranked in the Top 10 PSP games of all time on Metacritic.

For those of you who never experienced the simple joys of zombie-horde-popping the first time around, the undead infection in OMG HD Zombies! is the result of a scientific experiment on a virulent fungus that causes its zombified victims to explode when attacked. Any infected matter ingested or inhaled by a human victim causes them to become a zombie in turn.

That’s pretty cool in itself, but the best part is that if any infected matter lands on another zombie then that zombie explodes too, causing a rapid chain reaction of gory explosions and maximizing the likelihood of nearby victims being infected. Wise to this knowledge, your Riot Cop character is able to take down whole city blocks of the undead with a single well-placed rifle round and a well chosen vantage point.

The new features added for this version include:

• More Graphics! – ALL background, character and menu artwork has been redrawn from scratch. Plus there are a ton of extra zombie death animations.
• More Zombies! – We’ve thrown three new zombie classes into the mix (say hello to the new Runner, Taser & Mortar zombies!)
• More Levels! – We added 19 brand new levels, so now there’s 100 brand new level layouts of zombie-slaying action.
• More Upgrades! – We have 100 upgrades for you to buy at our all-new Upgrades menu.
• Prestige Mode! – Something extra for the completionists out there. Complete the game to 100% Platinum standard and you can Prestige the game and start over again, boosting your leaderboard scores as you go.
• Trophies! – 12 bronze, silver and gold Trophies to unlock.
• Online Leaderboards! – Now you can compare your skills against the best zombie slayers around the world.
• Touch Controls! – Choose between the traditional control method or new touch screen controls.
• New Comics! – As well as 2 new endings, we reveal more of the back story to the zombie outbreak in our specially extended comic book intro.
