In this downloadable iOS game, flick a soccer ball at incoming zombies to defeat them. Tilt the iPad left and right to look around and get zombies coming at you from all angles. Use power ups and defeat boss zombies to survive as long as you can.<\/p>\n<p>Gameplay is super simple. Just flick the soccer ball with your finger in the direction of the creeping zombies. Hit several in a row to increase your combo multiplier. Some zombies drop power-ups. Roll your soccer ball to collect them, then tap the power to use it. Some powers include poison balls or soccer balls that leave trails of lightning. Some zombies carry shields or explode. Every so often, you\u2019ll have to battle a boss zombie. If they get too close and hit you, it\u2019s Game Over.<\/p>\n<p>After you lose, you can net experience points which can increase your ball\u2019s level, which in turn boosts your score multiplier. Only frustrating thing is that when you do lose, you have to start at the beginning again. You can continue where you left off if you spend coins, but it requires a ton of them and the only way to get that many is to buy them with real money. The idea of defeating zombies with a soccer ball is amusing and mildly entertaining, but it may not hold your interest for very long.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=9158\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9158\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9158\" alt=\"SOCCER_SCREEN\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/SOCCER_SCREEN.jpg\" width=\"495\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/SOCCER_SCREEN.jpg 495w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/SOCCER_SCREEN-112x150.jpg 112w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/SOCCER_SCREEN-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The zombies in Undead Soccer are pretty cartoony and not very scary, but there is some animated blood and gore.
