Hi guys,
My new game, Bitejacker was released today, on MochiGames. I have been really quiet ever since I started working on the game, so I doubt you guys know much about it. But I've been working full time on this for the pass 6+ months, and I really like to get some feedback, especially from fellow developers



Play it here http://www.mochigames.com/games/bitejacker/

ABOUT BITEJACKER
Bitejacker : Secret Base Horror Series 01 is a top-down, twin stick-style arena shooter for fans of classic arcade games and loathers of the undead. Based on the indie game review show Bytejacker, players will help self-centered host Anthony Carboni and heroic cameraman Jon Rivera battle through endless waves of zombies, aliens and monsters as they attempt to survive the zombie apocalypse.

Along the way you'll run into tons of familiar faces as indie heroes like Meat Boy and Commander Video join the fight. There are survivors to rescue, weapons to found, stats upgrades, and special moves to use across 30 levels, epic boss battles, and survival modes. Players will be unlocking bonuses like comic strips along the way that add to the storyline.

It's time to splatter some undead. LET'S GO!

Try to use the PM system on TIGSource... failing that, you could message him on twitter or just email him.

That's damn cool and damn addictive

Its really good but the controls feel a bit clunky, or its the fact that I am horrible at arena shooters.

Congrats! Will take a look soon, been busy. (Okay, and maybe playing a little more than a healthy amount of Battlefield 2...)

Love the art, love the voice overs, love it! There's a lot of substance and polish to this game. Ever since I saw it in the IGF entry list and heard about it on Bytejacker, Ive been anxiously waiting to play it.

And now I finally have and am struggling to stop 

Good stuff!
