The Mini Gun in all its glory.

Here’s a few screens of our SWAT team hero in action. Right now there’s about 10 different weapons I’m looking to add in – 5 base weapons and 5 unlockable ones.
The name “Zombie Ops” is also a working title, feel free to suggest a name, and if we’re inspired by it (or use it) your name will be in the credits.
- Development time thus far is: 19 hours
IronZilla’s last small project, Jump Hero, has been put on hold until further notice. However, IronZilla presents to you our other project already being created in the lab, Zombie Ops (working title name) an arcade style shoot em up. We’re looking to get it licensed by the end of July, and published for all of you to play in August.
I’m also on the look out for voice actors / artists, for a help on a few things like the intro and voice overs (all work credited & $ of course).
More screenshots to come as we release them. Stay tuned!

Congrats to Minecraft creator, Markus “Notch” Persson, they’re rolling in the dough over there!
This new figure comes in less than two months after Minecraft hit 2 million copies sold, meaning the title has sold an additional 500,000 copies since late April.
Currently, Minecraft is only available on PC, though developer Mojang has announced that the title will launch on iOS, Android, as well as Xbox 360. The recently-announced Xbox 360 version will support the Kinect hardware and is due to launch later this year.
This week’s Flash Game Friday winner is Burrito Bison by Juicy Beast!
You are a minotaur-looking creature who is minding your own business in a Mexican supermarket, when all of a sudden you are magically whisked away to Candy Land and forced to wrestle! The thing is, you want out. So you need to jump out of the ring and jump off of as many gummy bears as you in order to escape.
As you jump, slip, and slide off of the gummy bears you collect money. This money can be used to purchase really cool powerups in the shop. As you purchase more powerups, more of the game is revealed (such as new gummy bear types and new areas as your jumps go farther).
Burrito Bison has simple and fast gameplay mechanics (the left-click is all you use), and the powerups and achievements make it really fun and addicting! This game has great polish as well with excellent artwork and music. Another stellar short-form game by Juicy Beast- congratulations on the win!

A Tale by Alex is a unique 2d platformer about a boy who likes to play with a lot of fantasy.
I’m Alex, and I’m 9 years old. Whenever I come home from school, I like to play. With my friends, my cat and even my fish! My sister can’t play along, because she’s a girl and evil! Whenever I hurt myself I get to go to the toy store with my mother. I get to choose whatever I want!
But now you’re here, let me tell you a story! Once upon a time, there was a knight called Alex. He was a strong and fearsome man, slaying whatever came in his way. He was big and handsome and the strongest man in the land!
He comes across wizards, robots and even awesome big dragons. He climbed mountains, jumped over lava and dodged deadly traps to become the greatest warrior ever! The further he came, the more Alex was known as a hero. The moment he got past the dragons lair he was even crowned the King! Want to know how it ends? Come play along after school! We’ll have lemonade! But remember I, the great Alex, will be the Hero.

A new game by the creators of High Tea!
zOMT is a strategy game where you play God, protecting your passive ‘believers’ from the onslaught of a variety of menacing and marauding foes on either side of them. You have to be quick, get the angles right and avoid obstacles in order to keep your people alive and praying!
Foes come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from boulder catapulting heathens, to blimp bombers and grizzly giants, all of whom have the sole intention of destroying your people and wreaking havoc. Luckily, you’re God, and possess some pretty special powers to combat your foes and help your believers grow and prosper.
You can generate new believers to worship you and create Mana for power, summon footsoldiers to battle the oncoming foes, and even control the weather to create protective clouds and target evil with bolts of lightening. The game has multiple levels, each with increasing complexity, and ever more gruelling challenges.
zOMT is an original take on classic strategy games like Tower Defence, Plants vs Zombies, Godfinger and Patapon.
As anyone who’s ever been bombarded by others’ status updates knows, no company better represents the current shift in the gaming landscape than Zynga. The casual game revolution caught fire on social networks like Facebook and brought in millions of players who are otherwise uninterested in hardcore console and PC games. Now, rumors abound that Zynga’s looking to go public in an IPO that could rival that of LinkedIn’s blockbuster debut.
AllThingsD reports that the social gaming company could file with the SEC as soon as this week, or next week at the latest. Zynga’s gotten successive rounds of funding as it’s grown and it’s currently valued at $10 billion. Expect it to offer shares at a price above that valuation, though, as its leadership still thinks there’s room for them to grow.
