We think the next update to Liv Games' Zen Wars [$1.99] needs to include a Rampart-like icon with a similarly constipated man pointing urgently at fire, but the update we've just received will keep us busy and, more importantly, on speaking terms in the meantime. In addition to a bunch of bug fixes, Liv Games has added a new "one life" multiplayer mode, which has been designed to dramatically whittle down the time spent in each online, cannon-filled affair. The old three life I Don't Have Anything To Do Today mode still exists, so don't panic, please.

Specifically with the bug pass, Liv Games has eradicated the "players playing" bug which showed a perpetual 0, as well as tidied up an issue with survival that kept users from earning achievements. Lastly, Liv has also tuned up the transparency of the HUD when you're working around the top of the screen.

Zen Wars is a pretty radical game. Jared "Sleeping Beard" Nelson gave it some major props in his review from earlier this month, which you can view here if you're stilling thinking about jumping on the Zen Wars train despite its awful, awful icon.
