Poking around the Youtubes, I found a longer length video that shows a good deal of the Lovable Zombie art and story, and also gives you a pretty solid feel for the basic gameplay:

Basically, it’s a stylus-oriented game, where you draw lines and shapes and tap the screen to direct the motion of your Zombies/hordes of Zombies. There’s also a substantial farming component; the Zombies apparently raise crops and tend to cattle in their time not roaming the map engaged in strategic action.

This longer trailer gives greater insight into the story as well. From what I can glean, BuyZombie was correct and the plot concerns a group of Living farmers who are robbed (and massacred actually) by a Romero-esque crowd of angry rednecks.
They then revive as the Differently Animated thanks to some mysterious green gas (Trioxin?) and try to get their property back, before the military arrives to crack down on the burgeoning Zombie Revolution.

If this game comes out in the US I’m actually going to crack open my DS for the first time in years!
