In short, the city of Boston has been awesome to us. They've opened their doors, community, and culture to all that is PAX East, and we wanted to show that love back by giving the most promising up-and-comers in the Boston indepedenent development community an opportunity to showcase their titles in the exhibition hall. In order to qualify, teams/companies needed to have 15 empoyees or less and be located within the Boston metro area.

AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! -- A Reckless Disregard for Gravity
- Developed by: Dejobaan Games
- Platform: PC
- Genre: Action
- Website: http://www.dejobaan.com/aaaaa/
- Description: The jumps you make off buildings floating above Boston, Massachusetts are all about style and timing. You perform stunts, weaving around the bustling City for points, making split-second decisions: do you snake around those girders to earn a dozen "kisses," or glide along the side of that steel super-skyscraper for massive "hugs"?
Aaaaa! then throws in the spectators -- as you fall, give fans the thumbs-up and protesters the finger. And if you're hungry for a bit of civil disobedience, you can even ready the spraypaint and tag government buildings for points.
The game will also teach you how to debristle a pig.
