We have once again teamed up with Capcom to promote another of their New Year releases. This time round we have been working on the January 2010 release of Dark Void.

The brief was to create an engaging online mini-game that actively encouraged users to grab the game and share it through various social networks. At the time of the brief we felt that we needed something that had a bit of stand out amongst the wide range of online games available whilst still creating a game that educated on some of the key features of Dark Void Itself.

In answer to this we created JETPACK ATTACK – a 2D flyer/shooter, where you can not only play as Will to fight your way through the void, but you can also create your own game using a simple game building tool featured on jetpackattack.com.

The game builder allows you to select a sequence of environments which you can then populate with enemies and ammunition through a simple drag and drop method. The enemies range from flying ‘Knights’, who shoot rockets to the less dangerous ‘Pawns’ that track you round the game trying to kill you. These levels of customisation allows all those budding game designers out there to create their own JETPACK ATTACK games which can be as hard or as easy as they like!

Once a game has been created you are then able to publish it to the JETPACK ATTACK Community featured on the site where others can play your games and rate them! You can also grab your game for your own web page or social network.
