Title: Megabank Executive Humiliation Challenge

I'm just finishing up a new game, MEHC.  You shoot bank executives out of a cannon into various painful and humiliating obstacles in an effort to get money to get more expensive ones.  Their cost is based on executive pay over the years, such that a Fortune 500 CEO from 1980 is cheaper than a Top 20 Financial Bailout CEO from 2008.

In terms of gameplay, it’s a 3d, physics-y, psuedo-pixel-art cannon-shooting game with a strategic probability management element.  Based on tester feedback, it seems to be pretty addictive, too.

I guess it's sort of a personal expression of my frustration about the current state of the US and capitalism in general...

This looks great. Hope you get it sponsored, and judging from your blog at least, I'm guessing you'll be sending this off to blurst once you do?

This looks really good, amazingly polished and a really great new spin on the "fire an animate object out of a cannon" genre.
I for one am looking forward to playing it.

Thanks guys.  I've had a couple ideas for games that put a snarky spin on otherwise somewhat cliché genres.  This is the first.

Hopefully it'll be out there soon.
