After a freak accident your Robos are stranded without communications on planets across the galaxy. Your mission is to recover all the Robos and bring them back safely.

Your only means of guiding the Robos is by using laser repellors - fire these into the ground and the Robo will avoid them. On every level there is a teleporter which can beam your Robo to safety, although a teleporter will only activate once your Robo has collected enough crystals to power it. Crystals can be found scattered around each level and your Robo can collect them simply by travelling over them.

Has something like 5 gametypes and supports an infinite number of players ;) The networking code breaks down when you add lots of people, but that just makes it more fun! (And you can have as many instances on one computer as you want - unlike some engines ;)

]]> 28 Nov 2006 02:49:01 Space Rocks This started out as a homage to asteroids and has turned into a fun little project that I've been adding functionality and polishing it up. Please give feedback! Thanks! games@digitalblur.com

How to play Space Rocks Beta v0.3:

-Control the ship by moving the target cursor with the mouse and press 'W' or the right mouse button.

-Additionaly you can use the 'A' and 'D' keys to rotate the ship left or right (currently needs work).

-Shoot the asteroids with the left mouse button or the spacebar.

-Pause the game by pressing 'P'

-Use your ammo and thruster sparingly, you have a limited amount. Watch the icons in the upper left corner to monitor your levels. Pick up the powerups with an 'A' to recharge your ammo and powerups with a 'E' will restore your thruster energy.

-The ship icon in the upper left corner of the screen will turn darker red every time an asteroid hits your ship and will be on fire when your damage is critical mass. Pick up the powerups with the '+' in the middle to recharge your sheilds and restore the ships health. It is on loan so - you break it you buy it...

-You can pick up powerups after you destroy certain asteroids.

Have Fun!

    ]]>     27 Dec 2006 09:14:08     Blastforce - Beyond Duty

    Introduction

    Blastforce is a freeware top-down shooter set in the year 2917. It is being developed with the Gamemaker 6.1 (but may be changed to GM 7.0 in the future). I have been working on the idea behind it for about 10 years (the story behind it was originally written by me as a hobby). Currently, the game is being developed by myself and a friend (with another helping me with my concept artwork). We still have quite a lot to do still!

    Features

    In the game you will be able to fly a wide variety of aircraft- interceptors, bombers, space-helicopters, and even the odd go on the gun turret. There will also be a number of ground-based missions in the game. The game's graphics are (or will be) in a anime-ish, super nintendo kind of style.

    Situation

    The game is still in early stages, and newcomers are welcome. At the moment we need:
    -Coders
    -Pixel artists
    -Manga artists

    There are also other jobs available. Please leave me a message if you are interested.

    ]]>     30 Dec 2006 05:01:30     Switch Ball Switch Ball is a sequel to the award winning CrazyBall. Switch Ball is the first marble simulation game using PhysX Ageia that just keeps it funner than your average marble sim. You can use the mouse for the camera and movement of you marble and you can use the arrow keys and W,A,S,D keys for the camera. When you first pick up and play the demo you will notice that it is at 20 Frams Per Secound (fps), it is because Atomic Elbow were not finished fixing the frame-rate before releasing the tech demo.

    What really makes Switch Ball different to the other Marble Sim games out their is the use of PhysX Ageia. Not many of PhysX Ageia's special features such as Cloths and Fluids were included in the tech demo but at one point in the demo you puch black marbles into a cannon and shoot a pile of boxes to unblock the path.

    Switch Ball will be released some time next year (2007). You just have to check it out and make sure you have a look at it next year.

    Price Not Announced.
