Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



On the latest episode of RetroforceGO!, Dyson got to talking about a game on the Xbox Indie channel called I MAED A GAM3 WITH ZOMBIES IN 1T!!!1. Dyson praised the Hell out of the game so I decided I would go check it out. Like most things in my life however, I got distracted by something shiny and forgot all about it. Thankfully, Dtoider brotroller just discovered the game himself and posted about it over on his Community Blog.

I MAED A GAM3 WITH ZOMBIES IN 1T!!!1 is an Indie game with zombies in it. It’s a twin stick shooter where you have to kill a horde of endless amounts of zombies coming after you from every direction. It also has the best song track ever made. To the point that I’m going to call it this year’s “Still Alive” except, you know, that it’s good.*

Did I mention that I MAED A GAM3 WITH ZOMBIES IN 1T!!!1 is only a dollar? Yup, it’s pretty much a steal at that price.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer and to hear the fantastic theme song.

*To be fair, "Still Alive" is a good song. I just got sick of it after the second day Portal was out by the endless amount of people saying it was the best thing ever.

[Editor's note: Video now added after the jump!]

I downloaded the trial I think the day it came out because the name caught my attention, but ended up playing L4D and forgetting I had it. Going to play it as soon as I've eaten my sammich.

*"Still Alive". IIRC there's no "I'm" in the title...

It pretty good. With a little more work (it only has one mode and it lasts 5 mins then ends) it could have been better. Online multiplayer and an "unlimited" mode would have been nice but as its "ONLY A DOLLAR" its worth it.

Anyone get more than 800,000 points btw? I cant get to million.

This game just looks like that Boxhead zombie flash game that's been on Newgrounds since the dawn of time...and that's free.

Still Alive will remain a great song whatever happens. It was the whole 'The cake is a lie!' joke that I couldn't stand. Classic case of internet overkill.

I am ashamed that I only have 50 cents on my account. The trial was genuinely fun though; its got a flash game's self-aware mentality, which is a good thing.

Boxhead cannot hold a candle to this.

After completing it, I felt like...The best way to put it would be that it managed to gather the same feelings of badassness that the entire Halo series worked up to in the final warthog ride sequence in 3...and then added zombies, flamethrowers and IT'S ONLY A DOLLAAARR. I HOPE YOU'LL BUYY.

Same with Ireland, for some reason. No Indie games here either, which sucks. I've been eternally replaying the trial of Johnny Platform's Biscuit Romp because it's absolutely amazing.

I'm with AstralDrmz. Let me put it in video form with an alternate intro to MGS3 (no spoilers here if you haven't played the game since it's the intro. don't watch any of the other parody vids though since it will spoil the story for you.)

I'm sorry, but I really don't like this game. It's a total ripoff of a flash game series. Go google "Boxhead" and you'll see what I mean. And frankly, the Boxhead series is much more charming and visually appealing. I Made A Game (fuck the annoying-to-type spelling) takes the "top-down zombie game with weapon upgrades" idea and makes it sluggish and unappealing to look at.

I'm sorry, but I just cannot like this game. Go play the Boxhead games. Sean Cooper's been doing this and doing it well for years.

I actually had a ton of fun with the trial. It's just Geometry Wars with Zombies, and a little less varied, but I have leftover points thanks to Microsoft Funbucks so I think I'll snag it.

I played through this game in XNA peer review and loved it. The song's integration into the game environment is intense. You can't go wrong for a buck

I love that game. Hopefully more super-cheap, fun indie games will come out in the future.

How ironic one of the most polished games for Indie Games is a dual joystick shooter. The trial is pretty rad, if you ever buy anything from there, let it be this.

Also, crimsonland.

This was the first Indie game I ever bought and it was 110% worth the dollar.

Like JoeCamNet, this is the first Indie game I've purchased. It's such a simple game, yet so addictive.

Nice Crimsonland clone.

I don't say that like it's a dis; I mean, I'm just glad to see more clones of really good games.

Best dollar I've spent in years. I find it amusing Sharples and Alex are complaining about it being like a PC flash game, if it were more than a dollar I could understand that. But whatever. The game is awesome and I'm enjoying the shit out of it.

The geometry wars and asteroids parody in this game (did you catch it? even the SONG changes to sound like Geo-wars during the part where you shoot shapes...on a grid) is the freaking funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
This could very well be the best dollar I ever spent in my entire life. Hilarious, weirdly addicting (even without online leaderbords), and LOADS of fun with multiple people. I'm showing it to all my friends and they are all buying it (because, hey, "Its only a dollleeerrr..."
Brilliant.
