My latest game is Cheerleader’s Choice: New York Spirit a dark comedy about cheerleaders who fight crime and solve mysteries in dystopian New York (And it’s semi-autobiographical too). You can play a free demo of it on your phone or browser HERE.
- Not what you’re expecting from a cheerleader game!
- Shake your pompoms in a dystopian version of New York
- Play as male or female, young or old, a rookie or veteran cheerleader
- Learn everything you need to know about cheerleading! Play as a total newbie.
- Fight gangs like the Bad Mittens, the Leopard Seals, and the Fancy Lads.
- Choose your position within the stunt pod: base, backspot, or flyer.
- Infiltrate City Hall and bring down a corrupt government.
- Choose your team’s name and signature colors, and design their uniform!
When the game launched, I did an author interview for the Choice of Games blog. Here is a fun quote from it:
It might seem like my game was “ripped from the headlines” but the earliest outline I sent Choice of Games was back in 2020. All of the madness, chaos, and terror in New York politics for the last five years was predicted in my outline!
I foresaw how Governor Cuomo would resign! Curtis Sliwa would run for Mayor! The Adams’ indictment! Bill de Blasio murdering Staten Island Chuck on Groundhog’s Day, and the cover-up that followed!
You can read that whole interview here.
I did another interview about social and political themes in the game a few months later. I think my favorite quote from the interview is:
At a glance it might look like “Heated Rivalry with cheerleaders.” But it’s more like “Watchmen meets The Warriors.”
