Above the rest UPDATED

YET ANOTHER UPDATE: iPhone 5 support? Game Centre? Heaven. It is unbelievable that the developer is still working on this game. Buy it. You wont be disappointed.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Im thrilled to see support for the new 60beat controller. I wont be buying one yet, but if we see support for more great games like this, I may reconsider.

UPDATE: Lets see some retina display support and Game Centre integration. These two additions would make this game truly excellent.

While technically a dual-stick shooter, Aftermath has none of the claustrophobic elements typically found in these games. The fluid camera movement and vast maps make for a very different experience. The music and flashlight/lightning make for a very spooky atmosphere as you blast your way through detailed city maps.

The controls function as expected, with an auto-fire mechanism when your light shines on a zombie. The graphics, while simple, do the trick and the number of zombies is very satisfying.

This would be a five-star review but for two things: 1) The inability to rotate the display 180°. As any iPhone gamer knows, your hand covers the speaker unless you hold it just so. (NO LONGER AN ISSUE, thanks to the iPhone 4s new speaker placement) And 2) This game is quite short. Im sure the developer expects this complaint. Heres hoping for an update with additional levels.

Great job by a new game developer. I hope to see more!
