SSStop Me

ssstopme.png

This is inspired by netgrind's SSSnake series (which was made into the compilation game Snakes on a Cartesian Plane). It was also primarily inspired by the "dreams" in Run, as well as DefeatMe.

Eat the yellow squares. Eating two yellow squares will create a new snake for you to control, turning the old snake into a looping obstacle.

Controls:

Arrows - direct the snake. You can wrap around the screen.
Other keys - press when you die to restart.

Spirograph Skies

spirographskies.png

This is basically The Terrible Terrible Turret multiplied by 12. Though, this really began as a hack of Helipong.

Light up the night sky with a scintillating array of automatic laser fire! Use the arrows to rotate the ring of cannons, and see how long you can last before they are destroyed in a glorious blaze.

TIP: Get a friend to watch you play so they can tell you how cool the screen looks.

Oh, and here's something neat: unlike The Terrible Terrible Turret, I randomised the variables in the attack progression sequence. So, you'll get a slightly different kind of laser show every time you play.

Disc Gunship

discgunship3.png

This is the full version of Disc Gunship, compared to the 'mini' version posted previously. It is about twice as long, and features new locations, traps, and a boss. Influence from Darius II is also much more prominent in this version.

This is a conflation of my previous games Gravity Gunner and Disc Gunner. Apart from using the famous Super Crate Box weapon, this is also inspired thematically by R-Type III and They Came From Verminest.

Pilot the Disc Gunship, a ship armed with the most dangerous weapon in the light fighter arsenal - so dangerous that even you are at risk of death when you use it. But no other weapon can defeat the Green Pestilence so swiftly, so use it you must.

Disc Gunship Mini

discgunship.png

This is a conflation of my previous games, Gravity Gunner and Disc Gunner. Apart from using a weapon from Super Crate Box, this is also inspired thematically by R-Type III and, to a lesser extent, They Came From Verminest.

Pilot the Disc Gunship, a ship armed with the most dangerous weapon in the light fighter arsenal - so dangerous that even you are at risk of death when you use it. But no other weapon can defeat the Green Pestilence so swiftly, so use it you must.

This is a "mini" version of Disc Gunship. The full version, I intend to include in the GDC 2012-in-One Kart. This is nonetheless intended to stand by itself, for those who might prefer a slightly more minimal version of the full game.

Prizeturret

prizeturret.png

This is a sequel to The Terrible Terrible Turret. Dig into the well by shooting missiles upward to fall down onto the blocks. But you must make sure you don't shoot yourself! Landing on each colour of block causes you to shoot a different array of bullets - some more fearsome than others.

In addition to what it has inherited from its predecessor, you can also see similarities to some of my other games, Prizeleaper and In The Well. And, of course, the influence by Mr. Driller cannot be overstated.

Controls:

Left arrow - roll to the left.
Right arrow - roll to the right.
R - respawn after losing. Each gray block is a checkpoint.

Playin' with fire!

Playin' with fire.png

Use the space bar to shoot fire and score points. The fire will then bounce around the room- don't get hit by it or you will lose a life! You will get another life every 5 seconds survived. Every once in a while (varies by difficulty) a powerup will fly by allowing you to freeze the fire in place.

Unlikely Arsenal

unlikely.png

You are Baron van der Bandolier, and must blast a swarm of Fearsome Flying Femmes Fatale. You have two bouncing lasers, one shoe-cannon set, and one back-mounted grenade launcher. You can only fire all of these weapons at once, and if you get hit by one of your own shots, you die. In retrospect, your enthusiasm for weaponry may be your undoing.

Arrows: float
Space: shoot weapons.

Disc Gunner

discgunner.png

"Stand aside, Portal Gun! Gravity Gun? More like Gravity Gone, because here's the latest, greatest addition to the ridiculous super-science videogame arsenal."

This game stars the Disc Gun from the Vlambeer game Super Crate Box. This deadly weapon bounces off walls and has a habit of killing its wielder more often than not. Nevertheless, you must use it to bust through this cave, in hopes of finding a great treasure.

There are powerup crates, which cause a sort of "Zugzwang" situation - you have to collect then, but they only make the weapon more deadly to yourself.

Stop Shooting Yourself

StopShootingYourself.PNG

I was going to make some sort of shmup tower defense thing where you place towers/options/multiples around the screen and try to avoid being killed by waves of enemies without having weapons on the player "ship" itself, but then I didn't feel like making waves of enemies and noticed that I had already basically made potential obstacles in making the towers.

The red bar draining at the top indicates when the next tower will spawn. When it empties, a new tower is placed at your current position. After another few seconds, the tower goes into "active" mode. Once active, the tower fires bullets at a set rate. Survive for as long as possible and set that high score!

Arrows - move
Shift - slow movement speed
