Description

I Hate Running Backwards is a fast paced shoot 'em up infinite runner that puts the shoot 'em up genre on its head! Pick your favorite character from the Serious Sam universe and blast away at enemies with a high powered weapons arsenal.

History

A few of us got it in our heads that we could totally make a game, so we called a few of our friends, got together, and hacked away at it. Two months later, we have successfully created... a mess. But we learned a lot from the experience! The single best way to learn about game development, we think, is just jumping head-first into it. Through persistence and dedication, we've endured to get where we are now; finally close to releasing a product that we can be proud of!
