Remastered iPad and iPhone enhanced versions of the classic action strategy title released today on the App Store through digital publisher Kavcom
The long-awaited 21st Century reissue of The Bitmap Brothers’ classic action real-time strategy title Z is finally unleashed today on the iPad by digital publisher Kavcom. Z The Game is a faithful and thoroughly modern reworking of the seminal Bitmap title, retaining its offbeat comedy and addictive real-time strategy game play, but adding a streamlined touch-screen interface for the iPad that offers players unprecedented smooth control of the two war-ravaged robot armies.
Z The Game for iPad and iPhone packs in the full campaign with 20 explosive levels, five planets, 30 minutes of cut scenes and full Game Center integration.
On its original release in 1996, Z: The Game was given 8/10 by EDGE Magazine, which commented that, “the computer rivals the best non-human opponents strategy games have ever seen…the attention to detail is remarkable,” while PC Zone awarded 92% and a Classic Award, saying the game was, “like Command & Conquer, only harder, more strategic and more intense.”
Z: The Game was developed by original creators The Bitmap Brothers (Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe, Xenon) in conjunction with Kavcom, Peter Harrap (Monty Mole) and TickTock Games.
“It’s finally here, and I’m pleased to say that Z: The Game on iPad and iPhone is everything we wanted it to be,” said Managing Director of Kavcom, Tony Kavanagh. “We’ve built it from scratch for touch-screen, so it’s incredibly intuitive to play, but keeps all of The Bitmap Brothers’ unique style, humour and attitude. I’m sure Z fans old and new will just love it.”

Hi! I see problems with Android version of Z: The Game. Is it posible like other games like GUN BROS that the installer is a 800k file and when you start the game, it download 184 mb of “GLU MOBILE” server to your SDCARD to run? With Z is possible? If the game are 380 mb. you can put the installer in Android market and when the user start Z, download 380 mb. (a few minutes) of your server…..and problems solved! or not?
Sorry for my english!
Thanks. Waiting PC version!!!!! =)

Hi,
Do you have any further information on if/when the Android version is coming? I notice the last response was back in January and was hoping you might have an update.
Also, do you know which Android phones it will run on?
Regards,
Nothing has changed re the App size limit. Our current Android Apps work on over 800 devices. Unless you have a very early or obscure phone it should work
Any updates on additional platforms at all? Playbook and PC especially? Just curious, thanks!
Expected March for both
Hi guys,
Not sure if this is mentioned before but what about seeing if other market places can take the game for andriod i.e. – http://slideme.org/ for example ?!?
Hi, Tony!
I have a question: What happened to the “4 GB apps in June” they talked about at Google I/O?

Hi Foobar
I attended a talk given by Google at GDC last year, They quoted an increase to 2gig by June 2011. I’d heard they were quoting 4gig but I hadn’t seen the slide. We had a meeting with their tech people in London in December. They were extremely constructive and apologetic. My impression from the meeting is we can expect this by the end of Quarter 1 2012
Regards
Tony
