Today, I had the happy opportunity to play the "indie" game, I MAED A GAM3 WITH ZOMBIES IN 1T!!!1.
My usual group of friends and I were hanging out, playing some Street Fighter (I was getting my ass thoroughly kicked, mind you), when ub3rslug told us he had to show us a game he'd found. You know a game called "I MAED A GAM3 WITH ZOMBIES IN 1T!!!1" has to at least be amusing for a few minutes. This was not the case. I MAED A GAM3 WITH ZOMBIES IN 1T!!!1 is my new favorite game. Seriously (cereally).
You start out on a grassy field with some traditional zombies ambling towards you. You fire your weapon with one analog stick, move around with the other. And then the music kicks in, and you realize you've begun something much greater than your average home-spun game. You gather weapons as they spawn from the enemy corpses' corpses; lazers, machine guns, missiles, right to the godly flame-thrower. You fend of the oncoming hoard of the undead as the background flashed the words "I MAED A GAM3 WITH ZOMBIES IN 1T" as the corresponding lyrics are sung. The game morphs into a rave as you go further along, with different enemies to shoot, and brighter lights to distract you and some kind of lazer show, presumably just for the win.
A bombardment of seizure inducing color, hard-core-head-banging music, and of course zombies; if you don't check out I MAED A GAM3 WITH ZOMBIES IN 1T!!!1, I'll set some frikkin' zombies on you (it's only $1, you have NO excuse not to). This game is like the visualization of awesome. 11/10.
Now excuse me, it's fanart drawing tiems.
What a weird coincidence! I also played this game for a long while with a handsome guy named Ub3rSlug!
Retroforce talked about it in episode 100 and Chad's rendition of the song (which is actually not too far off from the real thing) convinced me to check it out. I'd say it's definitely worth the 80 spacebucks, but play the trial for a while first. Maybe it was a combo of the weird lights, crazy song, simple yet complicated gameplay (shit gets bullet hell-like in the end) or the fact that everyone was pretty tired, but we certainly had way more than a dollars worth of fun with it.
This video game product represents a culmination of years of intensive psychological research, bleeding edge engineering, and artistic collaboration by over two dozen internationally recognized art houses, using such technologies as the HYPERMAGIC 3.0 engine to power never-before-seen eye candy with the MEGACORE X parallelization processor for smooth-as-glass presentation.
MEGACORE X parallelization: the new blast processing?

You only got personally flamed by one person; the rest of us were just venting our frustrations with the over saturation of zombies in general.
It's ok, it does have zombies in it, but there are a lot of other enemy types once you get farther and zombies only show up occasionally after that, it's just a smash tv clone and a damn fun one at that.
I played the trial and was majorly impressed by how completely bat-fuck insane it is, but I'm hesitant to buy it because it feels like one of those games that doesn't offer much more beyond what's in the trial, even if it is only 80 Microsoft Chocolate Coins.

I made a blog about the game the other day and I got flamed for it. Be forewarned.
Other than that, I also loved the game, so much fun. I just wish it supported online multiplayer.

Phoenix lyrics? Why?
OMG! That was fucking amazing, best $1 I've ever spent! I love smash tv clones and that is by far the best one I've ever played!

This game was worth it for the music alone! I just wish it had friends leader boards.

wtf? I wouldn't be able to tolerate a game with such an abysmal soundtrack no matter how humorous it is upon hearing.
@mxs 102
Yeah I tried to beat your score but only got about half way haha
Sweet game though. I was playing the demo and when it ended suddenly I had to buy it. 80ms points is a fuckin drop in the bucket...
This sounds AWESOME! I wish I had a 360 for this, since it's not anywhere else :(
