Enjoy some pixelated pandemonium with free Android game Groundskeeper

Groundskeeper is the latest title from Orange Pixel Games, and its part of their Summer Freebie 2012 promotion! The idea is to give us a very simple and free title to enjoy, and it is most definitely simple. There is a distinct lack of bells, whistles and other features, but the gameplay that we do have is shockingly addictive despite not having much to it at all.

You play as the groundskeeper, and when the dead begin rising out of their graves, its up to you to stop them with your automatic weapon that you have for some reason. As you kill them, theyll drop hearts which act as extra lives, and every time youre hit, you lose a life. There is no grace period of invincibility between hits. If you dont turn around and kill a zombie thats chomping on your shoulder, youll go down in nanoseconds. Different kinds of enemies will eventually spawn, some of which must be jumped over. Youll also have to deal with stone blocks which block both you and enemies. After you die, you can tweet your high score. Thats just about it.

The extremely blocky retro pixel graphics are well done enough, and the chip tunes background track is catchy and fun. It really reminds me of Super Crate Box on the PC and iOS, with fast and furious shooting and enemy avoiding with old-school sensibilities. There is honestly just not very much to say about this game. It doesnt offer much complexity or variety, but its still quite fun and addicting, and its still totally free. Definitely check it out if youre partial to retro aesthetics, or to other Orange Pixel games, like Meganoid or Stardash.
