When It Hits the Fan is a 2d action arcade shoot ’em up for PC and arcade. It features four apocalypse scenarios happening all at once: Zombie invasion, robot (AI) going out of control, demons crawling the Earth, and Aliens invading!

It features:

  • 2 Player Co-op!
  • 4 Zones (City, Laboratory, Underground/Hell, and Alien Spaceship)
  • 8 Weapons (Handgun, Double Handgun, Shotgun, Machine gun, Grenade Launcher, Flamethrower, Laser pistol, and Laser cannon)
  • Various power-ups (Chainsaw, Invincibility cloak, Force shield, protective cross…)
  • Many enemies (zombies, irradiated cockroaches, out of control robots, demon imps and devils, alien brutes, and more!)

It also has an arcade cabinet version if you’re interested in that sort of thing (personal or business related!)

What happens if it doesnt get the $3,000? Will you still release the game?

#3

If I don’t reach $3,000 I will compromise my vision and reduce the number of tracks and their duration I think I need as well as the art scope, then scrounge up that amount of cash over a period of time. I will finish the game, ultimately, but it won’t be as polished as it can be.

Looks pretty sweet, seems like a cross between the contra games and smashtv.

#5

Is this a Java game or are you just trying to get free marketing? Does look like a pretty good game though from the video’s you posted

#6

Yup! It’s made in Java with the libgdx framework! There’s a demo link at the top of the kickstarter page that has a windows exe version and a mac/linux executable jar version (as proof that it’s Java).
