From the creators of Papa Sangre 2 and The Nightjar comes the the most action-packed audio game on iOS. Audio Defence: Zombie Arena. Put on your headphones and get ready for an immersive gut-gripping, First Person Shooter like you’ve never played before.

In Audio Defence: Zombie Arena you are the Blind Warrior, a gunslinger fighting your way from anonymity to fame and glory in Dr. Bastard’s Zombie Arena, a deadly live show where the mischievous Dr. Bastard pits his zombie experiments against lone challengers for the bloodthirsty pleasure of the audience.

Feel a real threat as zombie hordes swarm 360º around you thanks to our powerful 3D audio engine.
Easy, intuitive controls to get right into action. Use Gyroscope controls and physically turn around you to fend off the undead (or use Tilt /Swipe controls if you prefer to sit down!).
Expand your arsenal with shotguns, automatic rifles, melee weapons and much more.
Two Game Modes to master you skills... and your fears.
No graphics. Aim with your ears! There’s no visual feedback about enemy location. Your device is a tool to help you aim and use your weapons.

Like our previous games, Audio Defence. Zombie Arena can be played with your eyes closed. Visually impaired players will find fully implemented accessibility features to navigate menus as well.

The game's development is almost done and will be released on iOS on early Summer 2014.

We also have a Kickstarter campaign to boost this project and keep us making audio games. You can check it out here: AUDIO DEFENCE KICKSTARTER.

Hi.
While I really like the sound of the game, and have signed up to be a beta tester, I'll be honest,  I don't think you guys are going to get £10000 in one month.
I honestly thing it's to short of a time to get that much money.
Although, I could be wrong and hope that I am, if  u can make it at least 3 months or more, if possible I htink you'd stand a better chance.

I'm gone for real :)

Hi,
I didn't really think that google docs was very accessible?
I'd like to be a beta tester, but is there another way I could sign up? I've struggled with google docs in the past.

Hi.
It's definitely useable.
Just click on the page and you'll be able to navigate it.
Well I could using NVDA and Firefox.

I'm gone for real :)

I've signed up as well, and found it very accessible using Internet explore and Jaws 14. It's also accessible on a Mac using Safari and Voiceover.

Wow, I didn't realize the description was as a zombi gameshow. Sort of reminds me of that old game Smash tv (which I still have a copy of for mySnes), but with zombies instead of mutants and robotic tanks.

I'll definitely pick this one up and I hope developement goes well, indeed I've always thought those old arena style shooters like smash tv and robotron would make really perfect fp audio games ever since the gma engine, and doing it on Ios is a great idea.

this kind of reminds me of the intro to dead rising two, as well.  man, something like dead rising with missions and such would be fantastic, rather than just kill until you're killed.

I'm a little busy to beta test myself, plus I believe you need a working mail address on Iphone, and for some reason my Iphone doesn't like my mail server, but I'll certainly grab this as soon as it comes out.

A little update about the beta.
We've received loads of requests to play the Beta, which is great!
We are now hopping to be able to start the first phase of the Beta soon. Probably a matter of days. This first phase will only concern a few players picked randomly within our list. We will then broaden the beta to a larger audience.
We'll keep you updated on the email you've entered in the Beta formulaire.

thanks for the heads up. 
Will keep a close eye on things. 
also on a unrelated note, due to we're alive coupled with other zombie style games I've been playing as of late, I've somehow managed to convince myself that a zombie is going to jump out over the large closed metal gate of the old people's home down my road on the way to uni. 
Yeah, I don't quite know why that's happened. xd

This game sounds great... Will let anyone who is interested know about it... If they get it right, this could be the new (and greatly improved) version of bit bees sixth sense

Hi R40ul,
Sorry but that vidio link doesn't work on my older Vista system.
I have more luck with Youtube videos.

Hi,
For now the best I can do is just say, I really hope you can get successfully funded! I'll be checking the goal daily, and if I can, may fund in the last week if the goal is getting near, as I'd like to make sure that you make it.
