Frustrated by the high gas prices at the pump? Blow off some steam playing “Solar Shooter: A Gas Guzzler’s Nightmare.” In this shoot’em up arcade game, it’s you vs. the gas guzzlers. Use your solar powered, electricity shooting hover car to face off against the single occupant commuter, the angry guy in the SUV, and even the dreaded gas station pump. Gotta zap them before they soak you.
Solar Shooter is the first game posted to www.SL42.com. The first version of the game was submitted to the "RIA Run" competition hosted by Internet.com and Microsoft.com. It was selected as a finalist!!! Support my entry and play the RIA Run Contest version between May 16, 2008 and June 5, 2008.
Solar Shooter was built with Silverlight 2. I previously posted a complete listing of Silverlight features used in the game.
