For those who can remember back to the long, long ago that is 1989, you might recall a game which went by the name of Skweek, and alternately Super Skweek, which was released for the Amiga, Atari Lynx, SEGA Game Gear, PC, PC Engine, Atari ST, and the Amstrad CPC. Now, over two decades later, Skweek is making a new bid for the spotlight on iOS.
If you're old, crotchety, and want kids to get off your lawn, then you probably remember a puzzle game on the Atari ST (or even the Sega Game Gear) called Skweek. If you're young, hip, and full of beans, then you're about to get a chance to bask in a modern remake of Skweek for iOS (the aforementioned old people are invited to play, too).
As mobile gaming has evolved it's shifted to a market dominated by free-to-play titles stuffed to the gills with microtransactions. It seems like every single game on the market wants you to heavily invest hours, money or both to unlock every little bit of content available, no matter how insignificant. With that in mind, ZiGGURAT is a refreshing blast from the past, an endless shooter that gives you a gun and a simple task, survive as long as you can. No frills, no tricks, and pure fun.
What if you were the last human on earth? It would be pretty lonely, I'd bet. But it would also be better than the alternative. Being dead, that is. ZiGGURAT, the debut iOS game from Freshùu and Action Button Entertainment, places you in the shoes of the last human on earth as they try to survive in the face of a seemingly endless swarm of alien monsters.
