There are many different power ups that you can acquire during gameplay. Whenever you see a question box in the middle of the stage, jump up and hit it. It’s just like Super Mario Bros in that regard. The type of power up that you get is random. It can be any one of the following: Ninja, Dragon, Quarterback, Giant Zombie, UFO, Gold, Balloon Zombies, Ninja Zombies or Gold Zombies.
Gold zombies allow you to hit any bomb or any vehicle and not lose a zombie. In addition, it only takes one gold zombie to overturn any vehicle that can earn you brains. Quarterback Zombies allow you to blow through any bomb or vehicle, but in order to overturn a vehicle, you still have to have the preordained amount of zombies in order to make it work.
Giant zombies turn all of your zombies into one big, ridiculous-looking zombie with about 7 eyes. It will shoot lasers, and due to its size, the giant zombie will make it VERY easy to collect coins. The Ninja Zombie will allow you to cut through anything – vehicles, bombs, or vehicles that you can overturn.
The dragon zombies power up won’t afford you any immunity against obstacles. It will, however, allow you to fly after you jump, simply by holding your finger on the screen, for up to 20-30 seconds depending on what you jump off of. Balloon zombies, by a similar token, will allow your zombies to fly, and touching the screen will drop them down instead of causing them to jump up.
All of these different power ups will have specific upgrades, which you can unlock in the market. For example, you can upgrade the giant zombie so that it shoots out three lasers at once, allowing you to destroy anything in your path.
That’s it for the beginner’s guide to Zombie Tsunami! Enjoy the game!
