French Impressionist Drive By Shooting

Just A Hobby

Hop into your horseless carriage and hit the streets of 19th century Paris in this shoot-em-up.  Pop caps into the asses of rival gang members while being careful not to shoot innocent bystanders.

Target: Spiff!

Just A Hobby

In this take off on the classic "Hogan's Alley", the play must shoot a non-stop barrage of Evil Decoy Spiffs™ before they shoot back!  Be careful not to shoot the genuine Spiff™, who shows up every once in a while.  Shoot members of Just A Hobby for bonus points!

Scram!

Just A Hobby

Spiff accidentally gets melded with Harry's 6th grade self late one night over coffee.  Then, Spiff is killed.  Naturally, he goes to hell.  But, thanks to the recent melding, he goes to Harry's 6th grade self's hell: a world of giant multiplying dodge balls.  Survive 15 levels of this to transport Spiff out of hell and to see the highly coveted "Win Screen."

Virtual Cow Tipping

A Planet For Texas

Tip all the cows you can in this fast-paced salute to bored Midwestern adolescents everywhere.  Just don't tip the bull.  That means instant loss.  Actual cowtippers were brought in the beta test the game and have proclaimed that it is better than the real thing!

Spiffs O' Fire!

Just A Hobby

Brent Bowman's finally cracked and is dropping bombs (actually, Exploding Evil Decoy Spiffs™) all over Beavercreek!  You have to catch them in your mysteriously vertical buckets!  Sounds a lot like Kaboom!  That's where I ripped off the concept!  The Internet needs more Shockwave games that are essentially rip-offs of Atari 2600 games!

Super Spiff Ball

Just A Hobby

This is the first of the Spiffcentric video game epic.  In this, his first adventure, Spiff discovers that he is indeed the bastard son of a pinball and a Pong™ ball.  So, he resigns as the Just A Hobby web mascot and seeks his fortune (and his past) in video games.  Unfortunately, there was only one firm that happened to be looking for a dot-shaped mascot at the time....

So, poor Spiff ends up getting smacked around a bricked-in board, Breakout-style.  Only this time, the blocks don't stand still for this sort of treatment.  Also, be on the lookout for the army of Evil Decoy Spiffs™.
