Zombie Grinder

Twin Drills | Released Feb 2, 2012

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.

Hello, because game is freezed when we change any settings in graphics I looked for some fix and there is working method
1) Open terminal and type this:
gedit ~/ZombieGrinder/cfg/ZombieGrinder.ini
2) Modify this line with your settings (below is mine settings):
width=1280
height=800
3) And now change for this value:
depth=2
aspect=16:10
game_width=448
game_height=480

Thanks, and Good Luck.

Do not fiddle with game_width and game_height!

These are primarily internal variables, if you set them wrong, the game can become totally screwed up.

Only set aspect and width/height/depth.

I'll be disabling it in the next version then :).

I'm not kidding, those values should really not be changed.

game/height/depth and aspect ratio should be enough to do whatever you need.

Another useful conf:

width=1360
height=768
depth=2
aspect=16:10
game_width=480
game_height=270

On Linux, the game rewrites some values of ini file, to prevent it:
chmod 555 ~/ZombieGrinder/cfg/ZombieGrinder.ini
