The blue dots are guards, and they shoot any zombies within their range, which is represented by the grey circle around them. They flash red when they shoot, but a less subtle animation would probably be better."},{"author_name":"Cyboot","author_uid":"10242","time":"Dec 19, 2012 @ 11:04am","epoch":1355914740,"text":"Too bad I have no Ipad because its looks very interesting.\r<br\/>So no ratings from me"},{"author_name":"master4523","author_uid":"2668","time":"Dec 20, 2012 @ 12:59am","epoch":1355964840,"text":"Launched it on an iPad Simulator, from a virtualized Mac OSX environment. :&gt;\r<br\/>The gameplay was a bit confusing the first time you play it but it gets better over time.

You control your shambling horde with a combination of gestures and power-ups, to evade bombs and roaming guards, and infect defenseless citizens of town. But be quick! If you don't meet your infection quota in time the military will firebomb the town to quarantine the virus!\r\n\r\nI know many wont be inclined to download and build the game to an iPad, but may still be curious. I'll try to port it to mac this week, but for those of you who don't want to wait, I've uploaded a demo video on youtube: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=alYxQ1PPDpw<\/p>","title":"Patient Zero"}
