Welcome to the2bears
What can you find here? You can find my games and read about their development (click the images on the left).
I also write a lot about indie shooters, mobile games, and just about any game with a unique style. I also write about devices, especially ones that can connect to networks in some way. In fact, I really love connecting devices to networks.
There's even a little about connecting devices to networks to play games, which I have done a lot of. Mostly, though, you will find lots of links to games. Some are good, some are great, and some are downright bad. That's the fun of exploring. You can also find out more About Me.

GetAmped
GetAmped, a really cool brawler, is coming to the Nintendo DS. I played this years ago, while looking at their multiplayer game engine, Keel.

Nomltest FS Mods
Nomltest FS Mods is cool, and nicely encapsulates what I like about software development and games. You take keim’s Nomltest FS, an amazing abstract shmup. Then you’ve bring in a guy who reverse engineers the script format of the game and creates his own mod, complete with new enemies and patterns. You’re left with a great new variation of the game.
Simply install Nomltest FS, then unpack the mods archive into the same directory. Nomltest FS uses a slightly different script format, so you’ll need to make the slight modification to the .nts file that keim describes here. Finally, drag and drop the .nts file onto the Nomltest FS executable and you’re playing.

Go Beryllium!
Go Beryllium! has a beta version to try out now.
Lots of positives to be found in monoRAIL’s latest. Great sound and music, tied to what’s happening in the game. Nice concept, basing the game around atoms. The Radium Boss’s shots coming from its orbiting electrons is a really cool touch. It also has support for a joystick, an always welcome feature (I should get around implementing that!)
There is one thing that bugs me, though. Inertia, in a bullet hell game. You really do want, and need, precision controls. Really, you do. Stop being so stubborn 
War Twat
War Twat, is a fast and furious arena shooter from Oddbob. It makes no apologies, the games will be short. Short maybe, but sweet while it lasts. Pure shooting fun. There’s my hiscore for proof.
Warning: If you’re sensitive to flashing lights, don’t play this.
And a preemptive welcome to a certain group of Googlers I’m bound to attract
