Nice quote [m].

"Squize could probably give us more information about this but as far as I know Static Shock is based on the same engine as the Shoot the Hearts game (which is..of course.. the most perfect game in the world Defender.*)"

Yep, Static is a re-skin of Heart Attack. Still took a fair bit of work though, it had a lot more love added and also a ton of animation a la dayDream.
Game play wise I don't think we altered too much, collecting the circuits ( Hearts ) instead of being able to only collect them when a baddie has dropped them.

( Actually, based on Dropzone which in turn was based on Defender. Dropzone is a perfect example of someone taking a game they love, and adding all the other little things they think would make it better, and making it, well, better ).

My cheekiest re-skin is

In my total defence, 1912 was only meant to be a one week only limited edition remix, just a slight break down in communication between Lee and myself.
There is actually a JBJ Sisters Milk-It mix which hasn't seen the light of day yet. I pretty much pulled the piss there too

Ray, I think Spindizzy being a marble madness clone is a bit harsh. It's amazing looking back at the games right at the start in the early 80's, just every arcade game was copied wholesale without any thought to licence ( Like all the tetris and pac man clones in Flash, in those days it was everything. Untold Scramble, Frogger and Donkey Kong clones ).

Squize.
