I'm really embarrassed by this, but was that a game and what game is it? It looks amusing, fun and novel.

It's not a game, it's a short film by Paul Robinson. If you go back through his journal, there are some gifs he did for the preparation, which had me interested in it.

A game would be ace - and easy for him to do, considering all of the art is already done :V

The short film I get, but I thought I read "mechanime" somewhere in the clicking. I am confused because I thought that word meant it was a game that's recorded and then animated/cut/has music & voice added. I was very excited because I thought a game with such easily controlled sidescroll characters would be perfect for me to play. The zombies and octopi were just icing on the candy. Way to go to kill the dream, Ian! Call me when the game comes out. ;)

Aw, I'm sorry :/ If you like that kind of sidescroller, maybe you should give some of the old Streets of Rage games a try - it has the same kind of controls - or the Metal Slug series, which have a similar game dynamic, with vast numbers of enemies dying fairly quickly.

There's a very good online flash Metal Slug rip-off at Newgounds - http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/301739

Also, here's some of the prep I mentioned earlier:
