It's that time of the Mouth!

Me and Steve fought off a lot of different zombie types on our path to completing Dead Nation. 

These are our mass zombie slaughter faces
Aswell as the usual armies of drone zombie, you have special "infected" who fundamentally disgree with your human right to not be eaten. Pretty scary bunch really, you've got your Bombies, Slicers, Jumpers....and Mouth.

There's a lot of things that we shouted a LOT during our playthrough, the top 5 probably being

5) Zombies!
4) Health Pack!
3) Treasure!
2) I'm being eaten!
1) MOUTH!!!!!

Mouth's school photo, doesn't even have a face let alone a mouth.
So what made Mouth so special? Well we have no idea what it's meant to do. It's appearance was terrifying at first, we'd never seen one before and it does look scary...until we shot it a few times and it went down. The more we fought, the less they seemed to do. No matter how long we left them standing there, no matter how hungry it's mates were, Mouth stood there certainly making quite a lot of noise and looking irritable but he seemed content to just watch until his brains got smeared along the side of a bin. The whole game we assumed it had some incredible power we'd yet to see. It didn't. It is Mouth.

We finished the game over a few beers and celebrated our victory over the army of undead, especially Mouth. The credits rolled and we noticed at the end, the development company provided an email address for contact. This is the email "Housemarque" received 10 minutes later

Andy and steve here, just finished dead nation for completionproject.blogspot.com.  We thought it was amazing! However... Please explain Mouth. He's our favourite :-)
Warmest regards, steve and andy.

No reply yet but it was only last night and they live all the way in Finland so fingers crossed. MOUTH!!!

0 games bought. 1 game finished but I've just realised my spreadsheets and graph for tommorows update are on a pendrive I've left at work. Will update that on Monday, Progress is progress!

Unless it's Mouth's progress.
