A bunch of colourful sprites that were rejected by various videogame projects have banded together to star in their own game, which they've called "Nitty Gritty". Time to fire up that minigun, Nitty!

Z or Space - let 'er rip
Arrows - slip and weave

There are 17 opponent sprites. If one of them slips past the bottom of the screen, it may evolve into a new form and reappear later in the game. Exactly 8 of them are capable of evolving... some of them more than once.

After the game ends, you see a roll call of all the soundly defeated sprites.

EDIT: Updated Oct. 2011 with a title screen, music, and save files.

Gradi-ASS ver. 1.0 - by Ray Ayanami

The Gradian starship Vic Viper has been sentenced to death by Miclus attack for not being three-dimensional. As the Vic Viper, you must survive the onslaught of Micluses.

Gameplay:
Shoot Micluses until you hit the target score of 100,000,000. Running into a Miclus will take off a life. The game ends when you earn 100,000,000 points or lose all three lives.

Controls:
Arrow keys = Move around
Z = Fire

Legal stuff:
The Vic Viper and Gradius are (C)1985-2010 by Konami Corporation.
The Micluses is (C)heckifiknow-2010 by Seibu-Kaihatsu Inc.

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

you are the earth's last hope

Arrows: move
Shift: slow movement (but it isn't really useful in the finished game, haha)

Avoid crashing! Shoot the walls for points! Super fast cave action!

Vaguely inspired by the scoring strategy for the first stage of Zed Blade: http://dic.nicovideo.jp/v/sm549412

EDIT: Oops I fixed a bug. It was supposed to be giving points relative to the scrolling speed instead of the bullet speed, but I forgot to put global.speed instead of speed. <_> (It is floor(global.speed)*8 per scenery shot now. :awesome:)

I have never made a game before. I wanted to use k n p like all the cool people but it just wouldn't run. So instead, construct. This isn't really finished, but I figure after two hours, it's finished enough.

Mash ctrl to shoot.

I hope it's not too late to take part in this glorious event.

Get ready for the most high tech game to ever go on anything ever. Its also the most fun game to go on anything ever and the most best game and also everything.

Don't die. You have 3 lives and a stock of bombs. Bullets come at you from all directions.
Try to let the screen fill with as many bullets as possible and then press the bomb button for mega points. You get bombs back every now and then, -- maximum of 3 -- so don't get _too_ greedy!

Controls:
Arrow keys - move
Z - hold this to move half speed
X - drop the bomb and cash in the bullets for beaucoup points
