Grid Wars 2 20060309
Grid Wars 2 is a space shooter arcade game. more>>
Grid Wars2 is basically a PC version of the popular Xbox 360 game, Geometry Wars. Made by Mark Incitti, this release features less special effects compared to the original but also new controls to cater for players who do not own a dual analog joypad.
Your small ship sits in a one-screen grid and vectorized enemies spawn to attack. Use your any-directional gun to stay alive while you rake in points. Along the way a few power-ups will give you a hand, and theres always the emergency screen-clearing bomb you can unleash.
The hybrid option control allows a player to use both mouse and keyboard for ship movement as well as aiming their shots.
Moonlander 1.0
Moonlander is a space simulation game. more>>
You must land with lander on the Moon, but you have limited fuel.
Landing is very hard, because you must land very very slow. Prees "B" to increase fuel.
Transcend 0.3
Transcend can best be described as retro-style, abstract, 2D shooter. more>>
Two features set Transcend apart from other games. First, its dynamic graphical engine, which can smoothly morph from one complex shape to another, produces striking displays.
Combining these dynamic shapes with subtle randomizations makes each play through a Transcend level visually different from the last. The second novel feature is Transcends musical power-up system.
As you play through a level, you are simultaneously assembling an abstract visual collage and arranging a unique piece of music. Transcend merges video games with pure art---it can be viewed either as a game or as a multimedia sculpture.
Though I first read it after developing Transcend, the Scratchware Manifesto captures the spirit that motivated me to develop a game.

Dave Gnukem 0.56
Dave Gnukem is a 2D scrolling platform shooter. more>>
Although this is by no means a finished game, it is playable. You can walk, jump, shoot baddies, collect stuff, die, teleport, open doors, use lifts, open boxes etc. There is also a level editor.
I started writing this back in 1995 in my first year at university (actually it goes back longer than that, before that there was a pascal/assembly version), and work on it intermittently whenever I get time and inspiration.
It was originally a DOS-based 16 color EGA game; I then converted it to Linux/GGI, then I did a DirectX-based Windows port, and then I converted it to SDL. The code is a bit messy due to its colourful history, Im slowly trying to clean it up.
Let me know if you would like to help with this project; comments, code, graphics, sound and levels are all very welcome.

Magnificent Gunbright Final
Magnificent Gunbright is an abstract shooter; destroy the black ball. more>>
You are the flashy white blob at the bottom, with the clump of other white blobs following you around.
You have the ability to fire the blobs from your cloud at the flashy blob surrounded by a cloud of black blobs at the top of the screen.
If a black blob and white blob collide, both are destroyed. The object is to hit the evil flashy blob at the top of the screen to destroy it.
Falling from the top of the screen like rain is a steady supply of more blobs. If one of the blobs in your cloud touches a white blob that fell from the sky, even while shooting, the blob joins your cluster.
Falling from the bottom of the screen is black blobs, that your enemy can use to bulk himself up, as well. Blob rain does no damage to either party; you can tell that its rain and not bullets because rain travels away from you.
Use the arrow keys to move, and the space bar to shoot.
Once youve destroyed one evil black blob, you will face another, more powerful one! And so on forever until you eventually die.
Destroy the evil black blobs and save the League of Confederated Planets!

A brief description of the objectives is given at the beginning of a mission. In some situations, the player has some wingmen, and it can controls them by giving order like attack enemy, retreat, protect the base etc... A mission is composed of different sectors which has differents objectives.
When the objectives of the current sector is complete, the player needs to go the nearest NAV point, when he can wrap to the next sector. In the last sector, a warp gate is apparearing and the player need to go through it and complete the level. At the end of each episodes (one episode is 10 missions), there is a large base station to destroy.
When the player complete all the episodes (5 episodes), the game ends. The mission fails if : - The player got destroyed or - if an objective is not complete (like an important ship being destroyed by enemy).

- Strategic suicide is a powerful tactic! When the Chromium launches a new fighter, it releases a high energy burst which destroys all enemies in range.
