If you enjoyed this game, and you're loving the whole extinction theme, I present to you Ari's and my (Benjamin Taylor) game from the first Global Game Jam back in 2009: HornyBuns!

It's fun, brutal, has great music from the infinitely talented Kim Hee Jun, and has sexy devil art! What more could you ask for?!

Anyone daring enough to try all attack combos in one tweet? ^_-

Here are some locations:

center left, center, center right,
bottom left, bottom center, bottom right

and don't forget to use "help" if you want to heal.
