Game of the Month August: Submission Thread
Greetings Community!
We were so excited to award @hotmagic's Zig Zag Zombie as the GameSalad Game of the Month July!
Now, onto Game of the Month August! We are excited, as always, to see your amazing and inspiring submissions!
A few reminders again about how it works:
Each month for a one- two-three week time period, I will open a “sticky” forum thread for submissions. And the end of the month, the GameSalad team will choose its favorite and announce the winner within the first week of the next month.
We will contact the winner via email within the last week of each month. Each winner will be asked to complete a Developer questionnaire. I will use this information to create a developer bio and to craft a blog post that promotes your awesomeness!
We will feature the Game of the Month in dedicated Facebook, Twitter, and GameSalad.com blog posts.
The Ground Rules:
Submission:
Your game must be complete and published! (We have to be able to play it to know if it is worthy of winning!)
- Just to be clear, this is not a post to simply "announce" an upcoming game.
Apps must be posted within the sticky thread in order for it to be considered
You can submit your app for multiple months (for example: you release updates and would like the game to be reconsidered)
We prefer that you submit with a Youtube video of gameplay/trailer
Contacting the Winner:
In order to be featured, winners will have one week to submit answers to a questionnaire (for us to compile a featured bio).
Preference (if applicable): App has a “Lite” version ready for Arcade upload
Let the submissions begin and keep those great games coming!

Gameplay Video (in italian):
If you`re not familiar with the black metal genre, you can read about it at wikipedia first.
A dark, stressful and intense game. You control a man who is fleeing from the light, and trying to reach the depths of hell. Each level is a different world, and you have to run like "hell" to reach the end and open next level. Along the way, you get different powerups that makes the running easier, or worse. This includes powerups based on metal song titles, a motorcycle and a full black metal outfit. You will also reach a headbanging level/simulator, where you really have to work your fingers.
You will die many times, but each time you die you get a random fun quote for living the Black Metal lifestyle.
The game satirize around the metal scene, but with such charm and humor that it`s fun for everyone.
