]]> 29 Jun 2007 02:36:41 Fry your opponent by catching them in your high power laser beam. Reflect the laser off anything, but be careful not to be in it's path. Moveable barrels just add to the insanity.

This game was made in about 3 days. It crashes for most people. I'm trying to get this fixed, but till then, you have been warned. EDIT: It's fixed. Have at it!

This is one of the best flash games ever made. The gameplay is unreal!

]]> 22 Jun 2007 12:41:51 Mega Man Project X is a flash game based on the 2D classic.

Taking place from a side-on perspective the game features many elements of both platform and action games. The game focuses around the day/night cycle, hence the name, where the player scavenges supplies during the day when zombies are less common, then returns to base at night to defend from the zombie hordes. This game was made for the 2007 Nullarbor game development competition.

]]> 20 Jun 2007 10:32:07 Space Shooter in the vein of the old school top down classics. Collect upgrades, blast enemies with and out-maneuver laser blasts and enemy attacks with 2-D style twitch-based, adrenaline fueled gameplay.

]]> 19 Jun 2007 06:58:57 Please note that this isn't some fancy game with super-cool graphics or good...sound either. Nope. This is purely a game to see how well I can program in C# using XNA without having any prior knowledge.

With that in mind, it's sort of an action game. It gets very fast paced, and is simple to pick up and learn. You're a square...trying to hit another square. Doesn't get much simpler than that, does it?

There's two modes at the moment. One is Puzzle mode, get from the start to the end in the quickest amount of time possible, and the other is Vs. Cpu mode, try and defeat the computer before you get defeated yourself.

]]> 15 Jun 2007 01:05:15 The award-winning platform beat-em-up featuring blood, guts, and a charmingly unique sense of humor. Use your trusty, rusty chainsaw to conquer the army of ghouls and monsters, or pick up powerful upgrades to increase the carnage drastically. Features 5 action-packed levels, with original art by Steven Burgess.

What happens on Halloween when the only neighborhood in sight has been built over an indian burial ground and is full of nightmarish creatures? Well, you go to trick or treat there, of course, but not without your assortment of powerful weapons to aid you along the way.

You can either perform a powerful slice attack or hold the chainsaw revving to do minor damage over time. The latter is often not useful unless you know what you're doing or have the super chainsaw upgrade, in which case it will tear through damn near anything.

]]> 13 Jun 2007 08:42:43 Although the controls take on the basic "pentomino" controls (Up, Down, Left, Right, Space for "drop", and Q to submit your high-score), the game-play takes a very unusual spin that tickles the "nonsense" nerve. You are presented with a quiet city scene where you control heaps of rubble dropped from the sky by a tiny alien (Minibyte), who decided to "pick on the big people" by planting his "Portable Entertainment System" (a giant crane) over Earth. The goal of the game comes in three tiers: to score by squishing people, play pentomino, and challenge your reflexes as blocks fall at random speeds. The traditional set of blocks are mixed with "surprise blocks" which you have to quickly find a place for in the grid. Even the individual block tiles are purposefully vague and hard to distinguish to add to the chaos. The game is very challenging to ones reflexes. The goal is to keep your grid under control as long as possible so that you can continue scoring on pedestrians. Only those with quick fingers can survive.

]]> 07 Jun 2007 06:06:37 La Ranisima is an open source "Space Invaders" alike game totally written in DHTML (JavaScript, CSS and HTML) that uses keyboard.

]]> 06 Jun 2007 08:44:44 Diggers is a unique and orginal game in which you control 5 different "diggers" from one out of four different alien races. The gameplay is about setting of the diggers in the different directions in the ground to search for differend diamonds. You compete against other diggers-teams, and will have to avoid them and different monsters in the caves you dig since you cant attack them yourself. Instead you buy items to overcome obstacles. Once a team reach a set amount of gold generated from selling diamonds, that team wins.

]]> 03 Jun 2007 12:57:14 Nuts & Scrap combines action, platform and a hint of adventure in one game that runs on Windows, Linux and Zeta OS computers. The main characters of the game are two fearless robots whose mission is to save the human race from the claws of an evil doctor trying to conquer the world. The game includes amusing pre-rendered 3D graphics and a spectacular sound track for the player to enjoy throughout the numerous locations of the story.

]]> 31 May 2007 04:02:03 Chalk is an arcade style scrolling shooter with a different kind of control scheme. Instead of shooting, you only have a piece of chalk with which you can draw. The way you defeat the enemies is different depending on the type. Some require all of the green dots to be connected, and others need to have their bullets connected back to them. There are bosses at the end of each level that will take a bit more thinking to destroy. The game is controlled entirely with the mouse, but the keyboard can be used as well.
