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.

This might not be a bug at all... I could perhaps just be pressing the wrong buttons (but I'm sure it was Esc before, right...?) I changed my screen resolution from 640x480 to 1024x768 the other day just to see if it would run on this old machine. The graphics were fine, but I couldn't seem to access the menu any longer, no matter what I pressed. The only keyboard actions that caused anything to happen in the game-world, was Tab, which brought up the stats of everone connected (let me just clarify that the game RUNS fine - I can play, reload, buy, interact, shoot, etc., all with the keyboard). I eventually reloaded the game, changed resolution back to 640x480, restarted, but still no luck. Just can't get out of the game once I'm in (like I said, maybe this is not a bug - perhaps you guys planned it so that we can never leave again...? So, the issue is really that I can't get to my customisation screen, game settings, or even quit the game once I'm in. Am I just pressing the wrong stuff? |

That is odd. Usually, this is all mapped to the ESC key - could it be possible that you remapped this key? I doubt it, but, hey, who knows? To be certain, DO NOT Enter World - go to Options->Key Bindings. Take a look-see as to what the first one (Back) is mapped to - this is the key necessary to go into the customization screen and other stuff (like Quit to Menu or Quit Game). If you did remap this key, then that explains it. If not - well, then we really got some problem. Reply either way --

Well that's a first. Erm, delete the config files and rebind your keys? (Your on nix* right? If so ~/.ZombieGrinder/cfg is the dir to delete I believe) --
