Here is a YouTube video showing the new features in Z is for Zombie 2.0, the locked freeplay levels, new weapons and the new High Scores and Statistics screens. It’s sitting in review, and I’m hoping it comes out early this week.

Wow, that was wicked fast, F is for Falling 1.5 is out!!
As I said previously, this was mostly a bug / performance improvement release, but I did sneak in a few new items:
- Bug Fix: Leaderboards button linked to wrong place
- Bug Fix: If you did from a large hazard (balloon or plane) while spinning, the game over screen would be rotated.
- New Feature: Reset Scores button to reset all the high scores. You’ll need this if you have a score from version 1.3 and prior.
- New Feature: Backgrounds toggle in settings screen, allows you to turn off the background clouds for performance improvement.
- New Hazard: A Big Bomb that will blow you to pieces
- Performance Improvements: I was able to reduce the memory footprint by 10%! This makes a big different on 1st gen devices.
I encourage everyone to comment below, or use the contact form to send me some ideas of what to include in 1.6!
