For Immediate Release

San Mateo, CA -- December 17, 2010 --  Independent games developer, The Playforge, unveils a new Christmas update in celebration of this joyous season and Zombie Farm’s monumental success. This week, Apple announced Zombie Farm as the only freemium game in their 2010 Rewind: Top 10 Grossing Apps list.

Zombie Farm offers unique gameplay that blends elements from the traditional farming genre, with graveloads of playful zombie battles to create a product that continues to yield skyrocketing growth. Since its initial launch earlier this year, the game has now been downloaded more than 7.3 million times and the player base has expanded to over two million monthly active users.

Zombie Farmers can create their own winter-wonderland and harvest a garden of beautiful holly berries to make their farms glisten with Christmas merriment! In addition to the new decor items, The Playforge has even got Ol’ McDonnell donning the Santa outfit with a treasure chest full of special loot!

“Making it into Apple’s Top 10 Grossing list this year is a colossal milestone for us. It’s inspiring, as we continue our commitment to constantly innovating with fun, highly functional and sometimes pretty ridiculous content for our players,” says Vince McDonnell, creator of Zombie Farm. “Where else can you harvest a friendly zombie, cultivate quirky vegetable mutations, then square off against pirates, lawyers, and now, even aliens?”
