Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys! trailer and screenshots

Assuming you haven't had your head zapped by an alien brain thingy, you'll probably remember we've already brought you news of Ignition's new game, Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys!.

If you don't, here's the gist: in it, you get to play alternately as three zombies who are the only defence Earth has against evil, ray-gun zapping alien invaders.

This trio has now been unveiled in screenshots. They seem to include a tentacle-waving zombie, one with a hoodie and skateboard and a loose-limbed, dead-eyed girl who wouldn't look out of place at London Fashion Week.

In order to solve puzzles, players will need to swap between the three throughout the game's platforming and brain-eating action.

Also unveiled are two videos of the game in action. The first shows all three of the zombies being switched between to take on swarms of rats:

In the second video, it's anyone's guess what's happening. But it looks like you can use the DS touchscreen to ping a power line to make the girl zombie hit the advancing alien brain thingys:

One thing's certain: there seems to be plenty of imagination in this game. And we should mention the comic book visuals, which are looking quite pretty, too.

It's not due for release until spring 2008 but we'll obviously keep you updated on its progress.
