Giant brains are invading the planet. What do you do about it? You find something with a penchant for eating the damn things.

Getting things to eat other things that you don't want around has been a tried and tested technique in agriculture for years (mention beetle-eating toads in certain parts of Australia for a right, proper laugh).

Why should dealing with alien invasions be any different? So, what likes to eat brains? Yeah, you see where this is going... zombies!

The premise for InLight's Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys! is, we feel, pretty nifty. That's why SPOnG has decided to share the new teaser trailer for the upcoming DS game below.

Teenage Zombies wears its comics and sci-fi influences on its sleeve. Speaking to SPOnG recently, InLight's VP of Creative Development, Darren McGrath spilled a few beans on how the developer has integrated comics panels into the game, telling us, "Because of the limited screen size (as compared to an actual comic book) we had to be very deliberate in how we composed each frame/panel so that the pertinent visual information was very clear to the Player. The layouts themselves are really gorgeous! One of the unique aspects of this game is that we’re allowing the Player to actually interact with the text boxes as a sort of tutorial and hint system throughout the levels. The zombies can actually climb up onto the dialogue boxes as part of the navigation."
