Can't talk now, playing Infectonator: World Dominator photo

Wave goodbye to the rest of your weekend.

Infectonator: World Dominator is a game about destroying the world with a zombie apocalypse. It's less of a thinky-thinky kind of apocalypse, though, and more of a clicky-clicky one: you start an infection in a group of people, watch it spread, and spend the cash you get from killing humans to upgrade your zombies. It's classic upgrade-based empowerment fantasy, executed superbly. Once you get about halfway through the game, you won't even need to strategize anymore. You also won't care, because holy sh*t I'm god of the zombies.

Watch in supervillain-esque glee as with the click of a single button, you create a smaller crowd of zombies that creates a larger crowd of zombies that eventually takes over an entire town, leaving it a smoldering ruin of its former self. Then, destroy the next town. Then, the entire country. Eventually, cackle with maniacal glee as the entire world falls under your zombie-spawning might.

I'm usually opposed to any games where you're meant to sympathize with the undead -- Stubbs the Zombie personally offends me -- but you really can't fault a game where Venom and Colonel Sanders are unlockable characters.

HOLY SHIT ANTHONY WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!

Wow, this is addictive as hell.

How do you unlock Special Infected anyway? I can't unlock any of them and I don't think I've leveled up yet....

Ooo, I remember playing an earlier version of this that ended after, like, seven levels. Looks like they've been hard at work on it.

191 days. Once you unlock all of the hero zombies, you don't even need to use the infection anymore. Just swipe the mouse along the side of the screen for money.

ANTHONY YOU BASTARD! That was too good I had to waste 3 hours of my life in it. Bronze standard but man was it fun getting there.
Oh and when he says "Stubbs the Zombie personally offends me" Its as he says because you gotta sympathize with zombies, which is just goddamn wrong. Zed Heads need to be headshotted.

I just beat it. Destroyed every city. Can be kinda tricky in the beginning but after a bit your zombies just get overpowered. Still lots of fun though. I cleared it in 182 days.
