Description
When It Hits the Fan is an action arcade top-down shooter 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!
History
When It Hits the Fan was originally a simple prototype made of a blue square shooting black squares at green squares. It was thrown together in the beginning after a brief moment of inspiration after playing a unique flash game on one of the many game portals online. Soon after its initial prototype was finished, Trey found an opportunity with a local arcade/bar start-up in his local community that was looking for local independent game developers to create games for their arcade machines. Jumping onto this opportunity, Trey went to work programming and hired an artist and musician to ensure that When It Hits the Fan would be something to be proud of for a first "big" release.
