James Silva is one busy guy. First he creates The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai (which is coming "soon"), then he writes a book about how to make an XNA game, and now he's gone and created another game. To be specific, he's created a new Community Game called (ahem) Zombie Smashers X4 Guitarpocalypse. If you're hoping that we'll be able to explain the title to you, we're sorry to let you down. All we know is that you select a character, pick a guitar, and start smacking the crap out of the other three players. Gather enough energy and you can start banging out a wicked guitar solo (no, seriously) which (again, seriously) unleashes a powerful special attack.
Also, there's a cat that shoots fireballs from its eyes. So, essentially, this is the game design you used to scribble in your spiral during history class. Also, it's only 200 points ($2.50). Check out the trial version. Just try it.
[Thanks, desertpyrate]

I saw this yesterday, but the screenshots confused me beyond comprehension! It is only 200 points though...

Nice longcat ripoff. You'd think he'd use the original picture...

The cat in the game belongs to the creator. He took a picture of his own cat and put it in the game.

I mean, it's still an obviously longcat reference. I just think the original would have been a lot funnier. And seem less like he's leaching off a classic meme.

It may be hard to believe but people have actually been picking up and holding cats for centuries.

It's OK. I understand that originality is dead.

Not sure I underatand your issue. The longcat wasn't shooting hellfire from its eyes. Would you have had less of a prob if the cat was sitting down? Or maybe if he used a dog?

Butthurt? I think not. As a scholar of ancient feline companionship I feel it is my duty to say stupid, sarcastic things to people :)

You seriously didn't think that first post was obvious flamebait? Welcome to the internet.
Also, the Dishwasher wasn't a good game. Pretty bland.

Bob, I mean really to try and criticize someone for copying a meme that's just a bit pathetic.You do realize that to troll you usually don't make yourself look like a weirdo failchan lurker and you instead mess with people. In fact you should totally post more often cause it's really funny seeing literally every reply make you look like an idiot.

This is an example of a game that I have a love/hate relationship with. Love the idea, love the insane cat that shoots fireballs from his eyes, hate the entire projects execution though.. lol
But... I am still tempted to spend the 200 points on it :\

I sometimes feel like I'm the only one that didn't care for what I played of Dishwater Samurai. I don't like how it looked and it's such a chore to play. Every enemy has a ridiculous amount of hit points and it becomes a drag.
I'll try this, but admittedly I'm not super excited lol.
