Zombie Grinder is a singleplayer and multiplayer real-time pixel art bird's-eye view zombies shooter developed and published by TwinDrills.
The game initially released as free-to-play on Desura — a now-defunct platform which had a goal to be Steam for indie games in a time before Steam accepted indie games — in 2012 for Windows, Mac and Linux[2]. At the end of 2013 the game got greenlit for Steam[4] and was released on Steam in 2015 in Early Access as a paid game[3].
The developers seem to have moved on from this project, and it has been abandoned since 2016[1]. As the game presently has an extremely low player count, since the game focus on the multiplayer aspect, players might have better luck on playing singleplayer or local multiplayer. The developers have published the source code for posterity, though they note there might be trouble trying to build from the source code as the game heavily relies on features from Steamworks.[5]
