Atom Zombie Smasher gets surprise 15th‑anniversary update on Steam

Atom Zombie Smasher, Blendo’s 15-year-old zombie tower‑defense/top‑down rescue sim, received a surprise 15th‑anniversary update on Steam, PC Gamer reports.

PC Gamer says the patch won’t radically remake the game but instead adds “a horde of little changes,” stopping short of a full overhaul.

The outlet describes the original game as a top‑down rescue sim in which the zombies appear as tiny pink squares — a compact indie experience that many players first picked up early in their Steam days.

PC Gamer’s writer recalled grabbing Atom Zombie Smasher alongside early digital indie titles like Portal, Audiosurf and Uplink, and says the update serves as a reminder that the game is still around.

The article focuses on the update’s existence and tone rather than a detailed changelog, and it does not outline whether further updates are planned.
