After previously collaborating with Sony Pictures, Halfbrick is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Ghostbusters by adding a massive update to their classic game Monster Dash. This update includes a New York City rooftop level, the iconic Proton Pack, as well as Peter Venkman as a playable character. Monster Dash was updated late last year with an overhauled game flow, daily events, and powerful weapon upgrades. This Ghostbusters-themed content takes full advantage of these changes, where it is playable in the regular daily challenge “Who You Gonna Call?” on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

In the daily challenge, the featured monster is fan-favorite Slimer, which Venkman can bust with the new Proton Pack weapon. Besides the daily event, players can play as Venkman in every mode with an optional in-app purchase if they feel inclined to spend money.

Following up from the success of President Evil and Zombie Month, the classic Age of Zombies has received one of its biggest updates ever, including more levels and a graphical overhaul to kick off Season 2 of the game. Barry and his infected friends are now in glorious 3D, allowing for much smoother movements, better action and graphical flexibility. We’re told that part of the goal moving forward is to experiment with all aspects of the game and keep the content coming in later updates, so this upgrade to 3D graphics will help the developers in the long run. Season 2 is also a brand to encompass the variety of content for Age of Zombies that’s coming in future additions. Along with the 3D graphics, this update includes three story levels and a new soundtrack featuring Australian artists The Bloodpoets, Goodnight Midnight, and more.
