LittleBear says: It's six-dozen of one, half the other.
We’re moving from our apartment to a house over the next couple of days, so my internet connection is going to be spotty. Plus I’ll be working hard carrying boxes. Never ceases to amaze me how much crap one can accumulate in a short time. In the meantime check out Independent Gaming. […]
I’ve tried a couple times in the past to get the trial version of Blue Sabers working on my desktop, but the machine’s a little old and I never got things working. I tried again tonight, on a new laptop and I got lucky. Must be a DirectX version thing, or something strange […]
Take a few minutes to download Starleaf YO. It’s a fun, manic shmup where you fight agains what appears to be pumpkins. Shoot them as soon as you can, or soon you’ve got a screen full of bullets to dodge. Smooth play, 2 weapons and a solid feel to the game. […]
Wow! Just a few hours after I posted an article about Gunroar I spy a new download at ABA Games. Mu-cade is the name, and Kenta Cho describes it as “The Physics Centipede Invasion.” I’m downloading it now…
Ok, some first impressions: Visually Mr. Cho is doing some new things. There’s […]
There is a lot to like about Gunroar, the most recent game by Kenta Cho, of ABA Games. It’s a shmup as one would expect, this time you control a gunboat.
There’s the graphics, abstract still as expected but showing some inspiring effects. Your boat leaves a wake while moving through the water, artfully […]
Last Hope is a great looking shmup soon to be released on the NEO·GEO system. Amazing describes the game and it’s release on said system. People doing it for the love of the game. Very much an R-Type style side-scroller you have 360 degree control of the orb, offering protection from any […]
Looks like Steam Brigade has gone gold. I wrote about it awhile ago, when it was being beta tested. You can now purchase the full version, or if you haven’t tried it there’s still a demo to download. Very cool game, different than most of the stuff out there. Only game […]
The latest Shade build includes velocities scaled to the screen resolution. It now looks pretty good on smaller screens, and the play feels right too. It’s fairly obvious though that I need to have a second set of sprites for everything, scaled down. I’ll work that out as a “build process” issue, […]
Super Ken Senshi is an interesting free game from Fallen Angel Industries, who unfortunately now seem to be defunct. Fortunately you can download the game here, from The Underdogs. The game allows for hosting a multiplayer game, or joining one, up to 4 players per host. I’d like to try that out, […]
Shade is back to being grayscale, the blue tinge just started to annoy me. Other aesthetics include a new animation for the enemy explosions, a very R-Type kind of circular one.
The game now supports different screen resolutions. Except I forgot about velocities… each object uses a velocity vector to update its […]
