Hi everyone. We’ve got another Switch title that we will be announcing soon, but while you’re waiting for more news on our next release, I thought I’d tell you about the amazing Humble Spring Sale. There are some amazing savings on all of our Humble store titles. Even better, not only are there some fantastic discounts, but since this is on the Humble store, you will be getting a Steam Key and you can choose what to do with half of your charity contribution. You can give that 5% to the charity of your choice or keep the equivalent value as a cashback reward to spend on future purchases during or after the sale!
I’m sure you’ll want to take advantage of these amazing offers as soon as possible, so I’ll quickly run through all the Ghostlight Games that make up part of the sale :)
Flame Over (regular price £8.99) has an 85% discount
I’m sure you’ll agree that those are some great deals. So, make sure you pick up these brilliant games before the sale ends on the 23rd May.

Hi everyone. The Heisei has ended, welcome to the Reiwa era. Over in Japan it is Golden Week, so they have lots of time off to celebrate and take in the new era.

Until Monday the 6th May some of the best games from Japan will have their prices slashed. This means that there are some amazing deals on all of our Japanese Steam releases, and many other games besides these:

It’s alive! It’s Alive!
It really is this time, because our brilliantly gory chain reaction shooter, OMG Zombies!, is out now on Nintendo Switch, and launches with an insane 75% off ‘early bird’ discount, slashing the price to just £0.99GBP / €1.09 / $1.24, until the 2nd April.
OMG Zombies! Is an awesome reimagining of a genuine classic: the critically acclaimed OMG-Z, a top-ten all-time Metacritic rated PSP game and ranked as Metacritic’s best action title ever released on PSP!
The City of Redfield has been hit by an outbreak of exploding zombies! For cool and unimportant reasons these suckers literally explode when shot, showering their zombie brethren with gore and causing chain reactions of showering zombie gibs with just a single bullet!
As a lone cop armed only with bare wit, a large-calibre sniper rifle and bullets coated in a zombie-exploding pathogen, you are the last man standing at the epicentre of a zombie outbreak. Your mission? To succeed where the police and army failed by clearing the streets of 8 different strains of bloodthirsty zombies and stop Armageddon in its tracks!
Use your sharpshooting skills to vanquish 100 branching levels of zombie hell across 40 unique environments in this hugely addictive chain reaction shooter. Earn 400 shiny medals and cold hard cash to buy 100 different upgrades, all designed to MAKE THOSE ZOMBIES EXPLODE!
So, make sure you take this chance to see what makes this gore-fueled chain reaction shooter the game you just can’t put down!
Not only does the Switch version include all the new upgrades from the PC and PS Vita versions of the game, but we’ve also made lots of awesome tweaks further improving the experience, all of which you can read about in a previous blog.
OMG-Z, the original PSP version of OMG Zombies! received some stunning reviews:
Defunct Games gave it 9.5/10 saying “OMG-Z is a simple masterpiece, the kind of game that sticks with you long after the ending cinema. Part action game and part puzzler, OMG-Z is one of the best games I've played this year!”
Eurogamer awarded it 9/10 and said: “A monstrously addictive quick-fire affair that utterly nails what on-the-go handheld gaming should be about.”
PlayStation Official Magazine UK awarded gave it 80% calling it: “more addictive than shelling pistachios.”
PocketGamer awarded it 4 Stars and said: “Laughing Jackal's latest offers challenge and depth in its mechanics, bottling the chaos of a zombie outbreak in a smartly designed puzzler.”
Meanwhile, Critical Indie Gamer looked at the PC version of OMG Zombies and said: “OMG-Zombies! is a bloody orgy of viscera and strategy that engages and rewards your tasty, tasty brain. If you only get bitten by one zombie game this year, this one comes highly recommended.”
