LunchTimeWaster: Twitter Hell Shmup

People say inane things on Twitter. Like, what they had for breakfast. What the person next to them on the train is doing. Or whatever music they just happen to be listening to. Wouldn’t you like to shoot them?

Well, you can’t shoot them, as such. But you can shoot tweets!

Information Overload is a simple side-scrolling shmup where the waves of enemies are text plucked randomly from various internet sources, including Twitter.

On the right there you can see me battling against a news report of Wimbledon. As a shmup, it isn’t very good. But it’s fascinating to see what slice of contemporary communication it’s going to pit you against next.
