Ever played one of those unforgiving Spectrum/BBC Micro games with its unwieldy controls, lack of instructions and harsh five life restrictions? Well this game is like a bad version of that. This is my first ever submission, in fact it's my first ever complete game. Please don't go easy on me! Music by Boxheadreplica, used with permission.

PixelJam

A, fast, fun Pixelized shmup, that advances you in z-levels when you kill enough enemies, to reveal you as a a small part of a much bigger conflict. Pixel-Perfect Sprite Explosions in real time, endless waves, and auto-upgrading weapons!

Made in 48 hours for a local game jam.

A game of aerial battle.

Short, c. 3 min shmup challenge. Inspired by early Toaplan games.

Just discovered, that I forgot to put it in the kart section, so I added some enemies, changed a bit the title screen and here it is.

The young Claude, King of the Sky, is ready to marry. A tournament is declared. He will pick his new queen among those few who can best him in sky combat! Rulers from all over the world are gathering. Who shall surpass his challenge?

Arrows - fly.
X - attack.

This is inspired primarily by Ciel Gris, and secondarily by a number of shmups from the past, such as: Garden of Coloured Lights, White Butterfly, Guxt, Gradius Gaiden, Nitty Gritty, ESP Ra.De., Clean Asia and G-Type. And there's some Finderseek and Super Crate Box influence as well.

I decided that, since it's often been said that my games are too hard, that the only penalty for getting hit is losing 33 points. You gain 100 points per level cleared.

There's a Windows version, but if you're on another system you can play the HTML5 port which is rendered a tad blurry on most browsers.

spent the better part of the past week porting bulletml to lua. And then I made this horrible game with it in a few minutes. There are no win screens. Or lose screens.

here is the love file if you want the source, or the exe doesn't work (I couldn't get it to, but my windows install is jacked), everything is fine in the standard love though. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43672/some_faces.love

This is loosely inspired by Claude Shannon's "Ultimate Machine", but is a little bit different. It's also inspired by Retro Sabotage.

Click a spaceship to place a target. Click another to fire a laser between two ships. Try and destroy multiple ships in one laser strike!

Apologies to cactus.

Arrows: Move
Shift: Boost
Hold Ctrl: Attract boss pieces
Hold Ctrl, press Shift: Shoot attracted boss pieces
Release Ctrl: Shoot all boss pieces at once

Shoot the X and 2 Xs will take its place. Basically, exactly what it says on the tin.

Trying to add more commentary about the game here would just be freaking insulting.
