]]> 20 Jul 2007 05:53:18 The Cowboy Game is a showcase of a platform game engine made in Flash 8. The game is meant to annoy you. Before you can fight the aliens you must equip your gun using the inventory screen, by dragging the gun into your hands. To fire the gun, you must reload it first by clicking the revolver icon on the lower-right side of the screen. Items you pick up along the way, must be equipped the same way before you can use it.

Keys:
Direction left/right: Move left/right
Direction up: jump
Spacebar: fire gun (if equipped)
Run: equip your horse

]]> 03 Jul 2007 12:08:06 In Nikujin you play a ninja, who's goal is to progress through a ninja fortress of increasing difficulty, utilizing your ninja skills to ensure your survival.

]]> 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!

]]> 25 Jun 2007 11:14:09 Hurrican is a freeware jump and shoot game created by Poke53280 that is based on the Turrican game series. Blast your way through nine action-packed levels filled with different enemies and powerups.

]]> 24 Jun 2007 04:37:39 Classic Contra at it's best. This is a flash game based off of the popular 2D classic. Run and gun in this frenzied button-mashing,twitch-gaming masterpiece.

]]> 21 Jun 2007 06:23:05 Last Dawn is a survival game about surviving in a zombie infested world. 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 A fun, light-hearted robot smashing romp in the style of the first Sonic the Hedgehog game. Using the Doom engine, this game is a great game keeping the true feel of the classic Sonic the Hedgehog games, while moving into three dimensions. Its gameplay includes most of the gameplay modes of Doom (with ring-throwing in match mode), and co-op play with Sonic and friends.

]]> 15 Jun 2007 02:54:58 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 Graveyard of Drunken Souls puts you in a graveyard armed with a baseball bat and you must survive for as long as possible. There are a multitude of different hats and faces for your character, so you can find one that suits you. As you are fighting monsters, powerup boxes containing shotguns and flamethrowers will drop for your aid. Every 100 kills gives you the ability to choose a magic power to help you out. See how long you can last and how many monsters you can kill.

]]> 08 Jun 2007 06:22:54 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.
This cross-platform and cross-browser game was tested under BeOS, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Windows and others.

]]> 06 Jun 2007 08:44:44 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.

]]> 30 May 2007 06:39:39 The year 2044 and all war takes place inside computers. I had trained as a ball pilot from my Uncle, who had been a famous controller. However, the military accidentally sent me to Crystal Mountain. I knew that if i survived it, I would join the ranks of the Crystal Mountain Heroes, surpassing even my uncle in the skills. But it would not be easy. It would not be easy at all. I can not fail. My name is James. Welcome to Crystal Mountain.
You will take the role as James and try to survive the enemies of Crystal Mountain. Using an extensive arsenal of weaponry, destroy all that oppose you. In this case, everyone. Do it as fast as possible for more points. Break the records of previous Ball Pilots.

]]> 28 May 2007 09:25:46 Use your varied resources to defend the city against the endless assaults of the enemy. Face multiple classes of enemies, ranging from powerful armoured fighters to flimsy scouts and blimps. Perform special combat feats to earn extra money, and use your hard-earned cash to purchase better weaponry.

]]> 11 May 2007 10:22:29 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.

]]> 29 Apr 2007 06:12:05 Conformity. A game that I made for the Phoenix IGDA game jam in 2007.

]]> 14 Apr 2007 08:27:43 Arcade, oldschool multiplayer and bloodshed.That's what the game Bloodmasters is about. Play with friends on your LAN or online and experience this oldschool top-down shooter. The game supports Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag and Scavenger game modes. The game is completely freeware and without ads, spyware or other unwanted garbage.

]]> 05 Apr 2007 05:09:31 Simple action in a fast scroll game. Many levels and a history. Choose beetween 3 characters and go to the mission. Just play with mouse, good for casual gamers.
