Like in the classic Asteroids you control a space ship floating around somewhere in space, trying to stay alive while asteroids are flung around. But unlike Asteroids, Echoes has some extras.

Instead of just small and large asteroids, there are four asteroid sizes (ranging from mini to enourmous) comets, meteor storms, asteroid belts, planets (with moons), black holes and the sun. There are also both energy and weapon power-ups.


Echoes is created by Binary Zoo, creators of mono, Duo and DUOtris.
]]> 05 Mar 2007 06:00:05 Bolo Bolo is a 16 player graphical networked real-time multi-player tank battle game. It has elements of arcade-style shoot-em-up action, but for the serious players who play 12 hour games with 16 players working in teams in different networked computer clusters around an office or university campus, it becomes more of a strategy game. You have to play it to understand.
]]> 08 Dec 2006 06:48:15 Warning Forever Warning Forever is a special shoot 'em up. Instead of flying around, dealing with hoards of enemies, and the occasional boss, it's just you, and the boss. And every time you beat the boss, it comes back, meaner than the time before.

]]> 12 Dec 2006 05:11:36 Beast Invaders 3 Beast Invaders 3 is the follow up to ...wait for it... Beast Invaders 2.

Beast Invaders 3 is a vertical scrolling shooter that see's you taking on the mighty sheepy hordes and their wealth of heavy artillery. No sheep are harmed in the making of or during this game.

Contains bullet hell style mayhem and curry.

Sadly, the entire development of this game was plagued by more trouble than is humanly believable, but being a determined muppet that I am, despite 1 computer biting the dust and a serious illness inbetween I've managed to cobble something together out of the sprawling mess. Mainly in 48 hours.

So, its not quite the game I wanted it to be, so keep an eye out for v2 soon.

    ]]>     11 Dec 2006 06:12:14     Toy Robo Please try it and then let me know what you think :)

    Toy Robo is an Action-Adventure Shooter that requires quick hands and engaging strategy. You play as Toy Robo, a robot action figure on the side of good. Your goal is to rid the world of evil toys which appear only at night. You will do this in Arena style combat using your Blaster and Energy sword. To help you along your way, you can equip several types of batteries, each with different combat effects and
    bonuses.

    This game was developed as an entry to the gamedev.net 4e4 contest which required that it encorporate at least 2 of the following four elements (elements of which ALL games are apparently made of): pirates, ninjas, robots and zombies.

    I opted for robots and zombies because robots are easy to model and zombies are easy to animate ^_^

    The contest had a 6 month time limit, so I wanted to make sure I didn't bite off more then I could chew. In the end I came in 2nd out of at least 20 - the 1st place finisher was developed by 5 people! so even though I didn't win I felt like the game did very well and the process was rewarding.

    Belowe are a few screen shots and the game download.

    ]]>     26 Feb 2007 02:19:59     Maelstrom You pilot your ship through the dreaded "Maelstrom" asteroid belt -- suddenly your best friend thrusts towards you and fires, directly at your cockpit. You raise your shields just in time, and the battle is joined.

    The deadliest stretch of space known to mankind has just gotten deadlier. Everywhere massive asteroids jostle for a chance to crush your ship, and deadly shinobi fighter patrols pursue you across the asteroid belt. But the deadliest of them all is your sister ship, assigned to you on patrol. The pilot, trained by your own Navy, battle hardened by months in the Maelstrom, is equipped with a twin of your own ship and intimate knowledge of your tactics.

    The lovely Stratocaster R&R facility never sounded so good, but as you fire full thrusters to dodge the latest barrage you begin to think you'll never get home...
    ]]>     03 Jan 2007 02:46:07     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.

    ]]>     07 Dec 2006 08:46:07     Shellcore Shellcore Beta


    Shellcore is a simple tank game made in Torque Game Builder. You control the tank with "w", "a", "s" and "d" and fire shells with the left mouse button. The right mouse button fires the machine gun which is good for destroying RPGs before they hit your tank.

    The point of the game is to get the highscore. Challenge your friends and enemies to beat your score. If they are unable, point and laugh at them.

    I made Shellcore in order to get acquainted with the new Torque Game Builder. It is currently in beta stages.

    Just have a little fun with the game . . . I also appreciate suggestions.


    ---The Esteemed Creator of Shellcore

    ]]>     07 Dec 2006 06:20:56     Tank Brigade Well, after quite a bit of work on JumpStart and one of its demos Tank Brigade I have decided to release the demo as a full working game. Basically its a single level game built around JumpStart. The Map to play on is randomly selected from a set list (currently 4 maps) and play exists of you trying to destroy all of the enemies on the screen. Some maps are generated procedurely and some are hard coded.

    In the relased version sound is supported (turned off by default, turn it on in the options screen). I'll warn you now that the sound can get a bit annoing. Luckily you can press escape, go to options, turn it off, back, and resume game.

    Graphics are completely from SpriteLib GPL. If anyone wants to take the time to create real graphics for the game I'd be happy to add them in and add on a credits screen.

    ]]>     04 Jan 2007 05:17:20     L.A.2 L.A.2 is Kenta Cho's first flash game, an action game based around the theme of Conway's Game of Life.

    Like all of Cho's recent games, it's an abstract shooter. You control your ship with the arrow keys, and have to avoid any blue and green squares coming at you. To defend yourself you can release so called gliders by pressing and holding the Z key. Any green squares that are touched by the brown glider will become brown as well (and any they touch will become brown and so on). When you release the Z key, all brown squares explode. The more brown squares there are, the more points you get.

    To understand the behaviour of the groups squares, and how they move, a passing knowledge of Conway's Game of Life, and its rules might be helpful.
