Upjers launches halloween event for several browser games

Upjers

The developer and publisher of renowned browser games, upjers, is reaching deep into the candy bucket once more and inviting even more players to the Halloween party. Now all zoo directors, hospital administrators and farmers can get the shivers and secure rewards, too!

In Kapi Hospital (https://en.upjers.com/kapihospital) a strange virus is going around: Professor Fluffling is getting some pointy canines, bedsheets are getting eyes and starting to fly – Halloween has definitely arrived in Fractureford. The nurses even have the right antidote for ghouly grumps: A round of dice, stat!
Certain dice combinations offer great rewards in Kapi Hospital’s Halloween event, such as three patients or points towards the next. These are awarded from rolling three, four or five matching dice. Full houses and five different symbols will also give prizes.

In My Free Zoo (https://en.upjers.com/my-free-zoo), witchery is in the air. A monstrous spider, pumpkin-eating ravens and a gnarled witch’s hut are only three of the new Halloween decorations in the virtual zoo. Those who are brave enough can also set up some spooky gallows, an eerie grave, a creepy pumpkin man and much, much more. Each current Halloween decoration increases the player’s number of collected cauldrons. These are rewarded with two different animal pairs. Those who reach level 5 in the My Free Zoo Halloween campaign will get two common ravens and two aye-ayes. These lemurs from Madagascar are said to have magic powers in their homeland…

In My Free Farm (https://en.upjers.com/myfreefarm) the happenings may be less exotic, but their every bit as spooky. Players can turn their farm house into a ghostly manor, and declined farmies will be pursued by flying ghosts. The Halloween pair game offers enticing rewards in My Free Farm. If a player uncovers two cards with the same pictures, they’ll receive select prizes; these include various vegetables for planting, points, potato dollars and shadowbox items.

Over 9,000 Zombies: New Map Editor Available

9,000

Board up the windows and barricade the doors, because the undead are coming in full force. The odds of survival are slim, but with the new map editor for Over 9,000 Zombies!, currently on Steam Early Access, you might have a fighting chance to see another dawn.

Watch the new trailer at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxl3AKtJsnA

All Hallows’ Eve is upon us, the moon is high and the dead are out in force to pay homage to their previous haunts. But beware who comes calling at your door, as it could prove fateful. In preparation the Zombie Hit Squad have developed a new Map Editor which allows civilians to create their own custom map and design fortified surroundings to keep those malevolent hordes at bay, adding a whole new dynamic to your zombie-slaying missions.

Tons of AI undead enemies powered by Zombie Swarm Intelligence are launching themselves in frenzied attacks across the global sphere and the public are warned to strengthen their tactics as the fight for survival is heating up. Have more power over your zombie contingency plan with the Map Editor and plan out your battleground before dusk falls. When you’ve perfected your handcrafted map, share your creations with the wider community through the Steam Workshop and use your skills to help weaker civilians in their survival missions. Call for reinforcements with cooperative multiplayer that allows friends to join your murderous top-down shooter missions against the multitudes of zombies.

Loren Lemcke, Head Sniper, cautioned: “Raw firepower is no longer sufficient to defeat the zombie horde. As the zombies mutate and change, so do the requirements of survival. A true survivor must be crafty and capable of manipulating their environment to ensure they do not join the crowd of the undead.”

Stuart Morton, Producer, Mastertronic squadron, commented: “The ability for players to create and share custom maps has been a feature we have wanted for Over 9000 Zombies! since we first saw the game. It’s fantastic to finally see this feature in action and we can’t wait to see what people create!”

Over 9000 Zombies! with the new Map Editor is available now on Steam for Windows PC.
