Not that much can be said about Zombiegrinder 60000, except that it is a scrolling shmup that allows player to literally grind zombies - but there is a little twist to it, which makes it slightly less forgettable.
Player is put in the blood-covered shoes of a man with shotgun who is incessantly running to the right, killing zombies while accelerating. The original concept, however, is that the action is closely tied to music, so when the music slows down, the time flow also does in the bullet time manner, and when the music goes crazy, the action pick up on speed to match it.
Simple? It really is and I don't think anyone can play the game for more than a couple of minutes, but it's well executed, provides some distraction from work (ahem) and the idea of time slowing down together with music is neat. Plus there are zombies in it and gamers love zombies, so without further ado, ladies and gentlemen (okay, somehow I don't think ladies are going to actually play it) I give you:
As the name implies, the in-game music (I know that calling this sound thingy music is perhaps stretching the definition of the word to the limit, but oh well) is grindcore. If you are not familiar with different kinds of metal, such as for example vegetarian progressive grindcore, feel free to inform yourself by means of this excellent video.
