Atom Zombie Smasher out now on Steam

You need to download Atom Zombie Smasher. Or, at least the demo for it. Blendo Games (Flotilla, Gravity Bone) has brought it over to Steam — $8.99 gets you both the PC and Mac version, plus Steam achievements.

Those who own the game via Blendo’s website can expect a key to redeem it on Steam soon. I had originally tried to play Atom Zombie Smasher from the studio’s site, but it didn’t want to cooperate with my computer. This Steam version works well enough, though, and the game rules.

You’re tasked with both saving humans and blowing up zombies as an all-seeing entity in the sky. It’s surprisingly refreshing to see characters represented as glowing dots. Somehow, I still feel bad when the yellow dots (the people who don’t eat flesh) die. Huh.
