We wanted it to be like a pride parade gone rogue.”</p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4621305783.jpg" width="380" height="188" alt="" title=""/></p> <p>"The game is intended to be irreverent, satirical, fun spirited and ironic."</p><p></p><p>Melchor Cardenas, the games co-creator added, “Anyone who mistakenly views the game as offensive or feels it perpetuates gay stereotypes is missing the point.</p><p></p><p>“It’s pure satire. We don’t mean to offend anyone. If it does offend someone, we hope it inspires them to create a fun queer themed game of their own.”</p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p>There are twelve levels in all. The final three characters that must be defeated to win the game are The League of Oppressive Self-Righteous Zealots (LOSRZ for short). They are the real enemies, a group whose aim is to wipe out the LGBT community by brainwashing its members and transforming them into gay hating cyborgs. </p><p></p><p>To preserve the tongue in cheek nature of the game, no blood or gore is ever seen in GAY FIGHTER SUPREME, only rainbows and unicorns. </p><p></p><p>“The message I would take from the game is that the LGBT family shouldn’t fight among each other,” concludes Patrick. “There are larger enemies afoot!”</p><p></p><p>Follow the creators online: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/GayFight">http://www.twitter.com/GayFight</a> </p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p>
