Fun Facts
Shawn single handedly created the amazing IPhone game Chain3.
Is there anything this man can't do?
Shawn faced a dilemna in deciding to attend TOJam #3. He couldn't endure staying up all weekend again (which is what produced XIQ). However, he did not feel he could create a good game without doing that. Thanks to grief from the organizers, and a momentary lapse of reason, Shawn relented. The good news he didn't make the same mistake twice - he slept 3 hours!
The crowd went wild for the bouncing at TOJam Arcade.
Shawn single handedly created the YouTube videos and screenshots for half the TOJam game pages. Is there anything this man can't do?

WOW! This game is only possible due to years of game making experience, a razor honed custom framework, and design sensibilities shaped by a history of shmups.
Shawn makes games full time for a living and it shows.
The core gameplay was ready Saturday morning, and Shawn spent the rest of TOJam "on that last 10%".
This game has style and depth to burn, not to mention a unique game mechanic.
Once you get the hang of bouncing, you never want to stop.
A great game with the mouse, an even better game with a controller.
