I finally put in a good 3 or 4 hours of work and came up with something playable. Arrow keys move, Z key fires. Probably wouldn’t have left the cheesy explosion effect in there if it wasn’t 1AM. Download the .EXE file here.

The game group that we founded in July 2009 now has it’s own website. If you’re in the NYC area, definitely check out what we’re doing, it’s quite exciting and inspiring to me. We have a team of 3 artists, 4 musicians, and 6 programmers working on a pirate-themed XBox Indie game using XNA/C#.
