Happy Wheels, Abandoned Fighting Game and some flash movies. Jim lives in Brooklyn, New York, and you can contact him by his email address, which is totaljerkface@gmail.com, but he is unlikely to reply. You can also contact him at http://facebook.com/happy.wheels", and you can visit his YouTube channel "ImAngryMan". He is the current owner and creator of http://totaljerkface.com/ and works with Jason Schmych and Caroline Pham along with some mods on the game. You can visit Jim's myspace account http://www.myspace.com/totaljerkface here, although Jim will rarely, if ever, update it. Developing flash in early 2002, he made a crudely animated movie on Newgrounds called Oh Beautiful Day and then another one in 2003 titled Where's My Bike?. Later in 2003, he started learning actionscript, and made a flash game called "Divine Intervention" The game was his first major success in the world of Flash games and has about 6 million views on Newgrounds alone. A couple of years later he opened his site, totaljerkface.com (not the one as we know today). The website was built in flash, and included a very limited amount of unappealing features. He included a flash application that allowed users to ask him questions, which he publically later answered. He also added an interactive head there (different than the one on the site today), which would say something in a computerized voice if you put your cursor over it.

Work on Happy Wheels

A year later he started working on Happy Wheels. Jim Bonacci was working at flash advertising with Jason when Jim quit his job to start fully focusing on his "new game." Jim said that he spent 4 years on making it, including rewriting in different programming languages. He and Jason went to Berlin, Germany (see his news post Germany Land) for a month in August 2011.
