Hi Everyone!

You may recall me posting a free game on OzB last year, Antibody Boost (http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/84030) that seemed to go down well. That was a game made in a weekend for fun so was only a tiny taste of what they're capable of.

Now for the UPDATE: Since then the designer Sanatana and programmer/artist Tim both quit their jobs so they could fulltime make an action packed, full downloadable sized indie game together. I present to you…

Assault Android Cactus!
http://www.assaultandroidcactus.com
Steam Greenlight link - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=134153…

It's a hybrid twin stick 'shmup for PC/Mac/Linux that focuses on intensity and dynamic levels. It has a ton of levels, bullet hell style boss fights and also features 4P local co-op/ On top of this they've managed to get famed game muso Jeff Van Dyke, composer of the Total War series, to do the sound track with them!

You should really check out the announcement trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5QYf7n4iOY)for a good look at it but here's a sneak peak in GIF form.

Now here's where you come in! The game is nearing end of production but there is a big hurdle, Steam Greenlight.
In order to get on the Steam store they need a literal ton of votes. We're talking votes of epic proportions. The type you only get if you tell all the other steam gamers or journo they know ;) Even if you don't please take the time to login to steam and vote for it.

Thanks heaps for reading! I realise this post won't be super pretty without embedded images etc but wanted to post anyone 'coz they need your support and every vote counts :)

    Thanks, I think a mod is helping me silently to fix that because it fixed now :) Also wanted to point out this new game is for PC/Mac/Linux, not android phones (despite the name). Plus unlike Antibody Boost I'm not doing the music or involved in the game production, but the designer is my younger brother so I'm still associated of course.

  Really cool mate! :) Voted! All the very best.

  I'd say get a bit more involvement from the Uni crowds.

  Are you allowed to put up offers in order to get votes or is that against t's & c's? For instance giving away that game again if people vote on greenlight for the new game?

    I'm not sure but Antibody is still free, so it's still a good deal but not a new bargain ;)

  So in a bizarre coincidence it turns out they'll be showing the game at PAX Aus! It will be playable at the Frag Labs booth who are showing off Horize Laptops. They recently bought a Horize laptop to demo the game on from an OzB deal I linked my bro to :)
