The first grindcore video game? Manipulator! is the interactive hack and slash companion piece to the death-grind album Drawing Secret Circles by Manipulator. Work your way through each brutal song (level) from the album as you battle a litany of baddies trying to keep you at bay. Prepare your ears for some ridiculous blast beats, HM2 guitar sounds, hilarious samples and unhinged vocal passages (and even a hint of melody once or twice). Manipulator! is a test of auditory and visual stamina. Can you survive to track 20?
