Inspired by the zoomies of composer Laura Shigihara’s cat Metroid, “Loonboon” is the minigame theme for the tower defense game Plants vs. Zombies. The first time you hear this bouncy tune is just after your neighbor Crazy Dave (who you’ve just met) tells you to dig up all the plants in your garden and defend your house from an incoming horde of zombies... by bowling walnuts at them. Normally I guess you wouldn’t follow the lead of your rambling neighbor who wears a stainless steel saucepan to protect his brain, but the undead are shambling through your front yard, so walnut bowling it is!
