A zombie game with a twist. Ben and Ed puts you in the running shoes of Ed, an athlete who died of a heart attack minutes after winning the Candy Fun Marathon silver medal and became the first undead. Days later, he was found and befriended by a young boy named Ben. This was not to last, as later they came to the attention of Hans Showmaster, who kidnaps Ben in order to "persuade" Ed to take part in his new show "Rundead".The gameplay seems relatively simple on the surface. Get from point A to point B in an obstacle course. The twists come from the sheer volume of large blades and laser beams seeking to chop you up. Sound problematic? Just remember that you're a zombie. It doesn't matter if you lose an arm/leg or two, or even your head!Released on Steam, the game can be found here.The ending is very SPOILERTASTIC! You Have Been Warned.A sequel known as "Ben and Ed: Blood Party" has been released. | |

Injured Self-Drag | |
| Ben and Ed (Video Game) / int_1720ea9c | comment |
Injured Self-Drag: If Ed’s legs get cut off, he normally starts walking on his hands. But if an additional arm is cut off, Ed starts slowly dragging himself forward with one hand. This leaves him more vulnerable to getting the rest of his body cut off. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Ben and Ed (Video Game) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: Ben is explicitly stated to live "in a crappy world", which by look alone is a destroyed wasteland. The only other human character encountered in the game holds him hostage for the sake of baiting a zombie into performing and being sliced and smashed apart for the public's entertainment. | |

Easter Egg | |
| Ben and Ed (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: After following a hidden path, you get a beautiful Shout-Out to Ben Drowned. Needless to say, if you didn't expect it, it's pretty shocking. Beating the final level in Bencalypse mode gives you this image, it's just lovely. Try beating the final level as Ben and then approaching Ben at the finish line. You get a similar image except now it says 'Ben can't free Ben.' And then the game crashes. If you get to the highest point of the boxes in level ten, You can find a giant circle with the text "Go to BennnnnnnEd!". This is actually the link for a Facebook page full of creepy imagery and videos filled with hidden coordinates. it's a debate on what this is, but some are speculating that these are posts from a zombified Ben trying to get people to find him. | |

Villain Protagonist: Ed is a flesh-eating zombie who can kill chickens on his obstacle run, only really qualifying as heroic because he's trying to rescue his young human friend, Ben. Then it turns out that even this isn't true; he sees the humans he can get his hands onto as nothing more than his next meal, including Ben. | |

Post-End Game Content: Bencalypse mode, unlocked by beating the game. You play as a zombified Ben after the ending and make your way through the dark, abandoned courses left behind after Han's defeat. And anyone inside can be eaten by Ben with that same "Press E to Celebrate" text, The end of this alternate campaign has Ben escaping outside. You are also able to play the old courses from the main story as Ben afterward. | |

Foreshadowing: In the opening cutscene, there is a poster next to Hans reading: "Who betrays his best friend for a mediocre price." Even in the very beginning of the Steam Greenlight trailer for the game, Ed is seen eating a young human kid. He does the same to Ben at the end of the game with Ben having falsely believed Ed to be his best friend the whole time. | |
