Zombie Grinder is the debut game of TwinDrills, an indie game development duo made up of Tim 'Infini' Leonard and Jordan 'Jordizzle' Chewning.
It's a multi-platform (windows, mac, Linux!) (also Free!) cooperative multiplayer arcade game, reminiscent in style and gameplay of retro games like 'Zombies Ate My Neighbors' and 'Super Smash TV!', but with the added benefit of some newer game mechanics - achievements, ranking, player-customization, rpg style stats and so forth.
The game sports a variety of different game modes, from co-operative 'campaign' style levels, to wave maps and even the classic 'pvp' style game modes - deathmatch, capture the 'bag' and so forth. All of these mods are bristling with a variety of weapons and items, all lovingly displayed in Jordan's classic quirky pixel-art style.
New content on it's way, how would you like it?
We've got a ton of new stuff we plan to add, but aren't 100% sure if we should trickle it in over time, or make one humongous content update once it's all finished!!

You should send this game to a popular indie game reviewer, example northernlion, so that this game can get the publicity it deserves.
Great game, I love it <3
So for those of you having trouble getting the game working go to your P;PDATA%\ZombieGrinder and then make the EXE administrator.
Are you playing via desura? And have you made sure your desura copy is updated (check for a refresh icon near the Zombie Grinder item in the games list).
Your not the only person who had this problem, it appears there seems to be some kind of permissions issue at times when launching from within desura. Easiest way to bypass this, until I can work out what the issue is, is to use the standalone launcher, which you can get from twindrills.com
Ive tried both launching in desura and downloading the launcher from the site.
Hum....
Try downloading this bat file and running it, see if that helps.
Twindrills.com
Nothing happens.
So I checked out the apps thingy how its routing the game..and it makes no sense whatsoever Its there..says its updated..but when I play it says It needs to be updated :/
It will tell you you need to update if you try and run the game manually from the game exe, you need to run it through the launcher or via command line (what that bat file was meant to do).
What OS are you running on? And what are your computer specs?
My pc is windows 7 (already tried admin) Radeon HD 7800 series, 16k ram, intel core i7-3770k 3.50 ghz 8 CPUs
Direct x 11 my pc cost me a little over 1.2k lol.
