Pocket God
Details of the latest update, "Dead Pygmy Walking".
SAN FRANCISCO - Sept.14, 2009
Insidious powers are at work on the Pocket God island in the latest update to the enormously popular deity simulator for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Episode 26: ‘Dead Pygmy Walking,’ is bringing an army of hair-rising, brain-eating, dancing Zombie Pygmies to the App Store this week.
This particularly spooky update includes an entirely new area for fans to explore. Found to the east of the T-Rex island, the new zone includes a foreboding Pygmy Graveyard, complete with spider web (perhaps for a future update!), gravestones, and a mysterious ancient seal.
Malevolent Pocket Gods can bury their undeserving subjects, and then raise them from the dead using the ancient seal. Raised Zombie Pygmies have a taste for brains, and rather enjoy doing the ‘Thriller’ dance – though they are a bit flimsy, and will break apart in a cloud of flakey skin when god-handled.
Bolt Creative is currently running a fan contest, ‘Twitter Yer Picture With Pocket God On Yer iPod,’ encouraging fans to submit funny and creative pictures of themselves playing Pocket God.
