robotzomsA truly gorgeous looking game has popped up in development with Unity. Geniusly titled ‘The Destruction of the World by a Violent Robot Zombie Plague’ the game is a 2.5D platformer that looks unlike anything you’ve seen done with Unity, and certainly looks – and plays – fantastically on the web.

That’s right, you can play it, so what on earth are you doing here taking my word for it? Go try it out and be sure to check out the amazing concept art and site in general, looks like the work of some serious talent going on…

The game is developed and will be released for free by Interactive Art Agency, Hook. Go check out their site as its also pretty stunning!
