“It is uncommon to fire all six shots of a revolver with great suddenness when one would probably be sufficient…”

Bum Lee is a is an animation artist and freelance illustrator, who, in 2004, developed this cool little Flash zombie shoot-em-up game. In the screen shot above, you are the weedy silhouette on the left, and, on the right, is the shambling hordes of animated walking corpses. You need to take your trusty six shooter and mow them down before they reach you.

The Meat

Like all fun games, the interface absurdly easy to use and the pay-off is immediate; just click away to your hearts content while the body count rises and the levels rack up.

The animation is also very well done, body parts fly off your enemies in reaction to your shots, and the scripted sequences (the death scenes) are fantastic.

The Bones

Allthough the game has some loose references to H.P. Lovecraft’s novels (Specifically the fantastic - Herbert West: Reanimator) , and provides links to his various fiction works - it would have been nice to have that feature more prominently in the game.

The Taste

De-Animator is a minimalistic 2d zombie shoot-em-up game, it’s very fun, addictive and a good time-waster.

You can get to the game by clicking on the screen shot at the top of this post - try it out!

Pro-Tip : Use the undocumented shift-key to switch weapons, also, shoot at their feet.
