At the age of zombie obsessions,
we are getting loads of merchandise from these living-dead creatures. And the
App Store is just one of those platforms that these “walkers” have invaded.
Zombie-fied games like Plants versus Zombies, Zombie Apocalypse and Zombie
Tsunami may have been a mile away up the charts but this newer zombie-alien
manipulator has blended some bug skins to our favorite creatures. Let me
introduce the Alien Zombie Bug Face - the app that definitely worth a second
look in the pack of zombie-related franchises. Check out our detailed review
after the jump.
Basically the app is just making
your own mini-monster out of the available zombie and alien in-app libraries.
Plus, you can also add some bug-like features such as wings, appendages, body,
eyes, etc. The goal is to make the scariest combination of different body parts
to make the ultimate alien-zombie icon with bug-ish features.
User Interface
The app is a total fun. Top panel
houses the different selection of eyes, horns, limbs, hands and different body
parts that you could choose from. You just have to slide these icons on the
slot to activate the category. Afterwhich, you have to slide the main interface
to choose from the scariest items. I was like confused at first on what to do
after opening the app. Interface may be simple but it took me a while on how to
create the creature that I’ve wanted. I must give praises to FotoFiction Inc,
though, on making this app fresh and colour-oriented. I love the selections of
swappable body parts; each has its own unique (or distinct) feature. You could
hardly make a similar creature out of these options.
The bottom tab houses the
undo/redo buttons, move button, share and start over button. What I like about
the app is its ability to easily share you output in different kinds of social
media (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram). You could even mail it to your
friends or just save it to your camera roll. But before sharing anything, you
opt to choose you background for the scariest creature in the planet.
Pros and Cons
The app is definitely free in the
AppStore. However, you will be plague with loads of in-app advertisement. The
moment I’ve opened the app, it instantly asked me to download a free game –
which I don’t like. There’s also in app purchases that will prompt you anytime.
The app is fun though – for me it’s out of the box. If you have higher
tolerance on ads, this app will give you a good time. Again, user interface is
a good thing. The minimalist nature of the app makes it fun to use, you just
have to get used to it first.
Summary
Alien Zombie Bug Face is a
delight to monster lovers out there. If you’re looking for a different thing
this Halloween season, this is a better value. You might want to scare your
friends with these Alien-Zombie hybrids during trick or treats. The app is
totally fun and easily to get hooked to. Kids and young-adults will absolutely
love it.
