Reviews

“When It Hits The Fan is like the old-school arcade shooters we grew up playing from the early 90s, similar to games like Contra, the old Rambo, and Smash TV games.”
One Angry Gamer

“You will live through the nostalgic 32-bit feel, the arcade vibe music and of course waves upon waves of enemies.”
Altered Confusion

“[When It Hits the Fan is] a fun game that offers a welcome dose of retro arcade run and gun action that packs a real punch.”
Alpha Beta Gamer

About This Game

In 199X the world was at peace... until it all hit the fan!

When It Hits the Fan is an action arcade twin-stick shooter for PC and arcade that you can play with a friend that was inspired by many classic arcade and SNES/Sega Genesis era games.

It features four apocalypse scenarios happening all at once:
Zombies spilled out into the city streets...
AI in military grade robots went haywire...
Demons started pouring out of hell...
And finally, aliens started invading the planet!
