Ben There, Dan That!

To help inaugurate their new company, called Zombie Cow Studios, Dan Marshall and Ben Ward have released Ben There, Dan That!, a freebie adventure game starring none other than… them. It will sit side-by-side with Gibbage, their popular multiplayer deathmatch game (which is now half-price at £3/$6).

Ben There, Dan That! is funny, self-referential, and dutifully pays homage to all the Lucasarts classics (while poking a bit of fun at them). Definitely worth a look if you like old-school adventure games. Or humor. Or things of that sort.

By the way, whether or not they were a product of laziness, I absolutely love the walking animations.

(Thanks, seregrail7!)

    If you’re stuck on the very first puzzle, as I was, put the mouse at the top of the screen.

    Can’t belive Dan made something that he sells for 0 money, gotta download before there will be a price. :P

    4th post ftw!

    I’ve come to the conclusion that most zombie games are quite fun. You can’t fucking lose with zombies in your motherfucking computer game!

    Walking animations _were_ done as a joke initially, but made us laugh so hard we kept them. They’re our best joke.

    Thanks for the plug ;)

    I love the game, may even pay for it!
