News of a new, ‘pixel-based’ flash game where you, guess what, slaughter Zombies in a quasi-dual-stick shooter, came to the ZRC via BuyZombie recently:

Bitejacker Released Today

We had a chance to show off the BiteJacker Trailer a little while ago and this pixel based zombie game is coming out… well.. TODAY! So if you are interested check out the Official Bitejacker Website!

I decided to check it out so I went to the developer’s site and gave it a quick spin this afternoon.

I’m honestly not sure what to say. I mean, yes, it is a rabidly Anti-Zombie game that easily earns at least a formal Anti-Zombie rating from the ZRC. It also seems to be psychotically hard, but that may be due to trying to play it on a laptop; I could go digging around for a mouse to set up the preferred control arrangement, but… eh. (Part of this is probably due to the fact that you use the mouse for pinpointing your shots, which is hard on a trackpad, so as I said, quasi-dual stick)

To be honest, I’ve played so many of these dual stick(ish) games, against so many virtual Zombies (who really only want a hug and some understanding, most likely), that the appeal in putting in a few hours to thoroughly document the depravity in this one is limited for me. Plus, as said before, it wears the Anti-Zombie hate on its pixellated sleeves, so it can be safely condemned for The Cause with only a couple quick sessions.

In terms of gameplay or ‘fun’ that a person might have mowing down sprite-based-Zombies, I hesitate to rate it, but as a statement on Living-Differently Animated relations it’s an affront to all that is good and decent. For shame, developers at Secret Base, for shame.
