Both 'Chilli Chomper' and 'Guano Attack!' appear as levels in the FPS 'Bedlam'.

They function as clones of Pacman and Space Invaders, that the player must navigate in a FPS environment.

These are the imagined 1980's advertising for both games, and appear in the game on the wall of one of the many 'glitch' levels.

Bedlam is a genre-jumping game that pays homage to a variety of decade-spanning FPS games and more besides.

These examples from the game include, Chilli Chomper, Death Or Glory, Guano Attack!, Starfire and Rescue Run and feature some of the weapons, models, environments and textures that I created.
