July 13th, 2009
For the month of July, we were supposed to make games on the theme “Unexperimental Shooter”. Here’s what we came up with:
Proto Shooter, Allan Blomquist
Egg Worm Generator, Kyle Gabler
Frobot, Kyle Gray
Post IT Shooter, Petri Purho
Bunny Blaster, Shalin Shodhan
To anyone else participating over the vast, vast internets – please be sure to send us the links to your games or post them in the comments section and we’ll do a “best of the net” feature – can’t wait to see what you lot come up with!
We're a group of indie game developers, running a friendly competition every month. The rules: Make a game based on the month's theme, and don't spend more than 7 days. New games posted at the end of every month.
18 Comments, Comment or Ping
I sent in a link via email to the contact email address. But I will post it here too.
Slimes : http://shiware.com/?q=node/3
Try to destroy the slimes for points, but beware, bullets bounce off walls and will lower your score if you get hit. Internet based high score table included.

I did a little round up of the games (all except IT Shooter, that came out too late :p ) on The Reticule.

Balls bouncing off walls is definitely not experimental; but it can be rather soothing:

Simple concept I threw together. Enjoy!

I did a little something today, but I have been thinking about the game since a couple days now. Pretty happy by the result. In a couple of words, its a vertical shooter like normal, but to get updates, you will have to shoot at the right tempo. Be the faster to reach 1000 points. I did 263 sec.

Probably going to make a version for the XBOX360 on the community.
J Tremblay, Enjoy and listen tight !!!

I wish I had heard about this before now. I guess my game http://socratic.manateegames.co.uk could count.
When do we find out the next topic?
July 14th, 2009
We should be announcing the next theme around August 1st – the format for this last one was a little wonky, but we’re hoping to get into something a little more regular. :)

Kosmosis: a communist space shooter

It’s a classic Space Invaders meets Katamary meets Lenin kind of thing.
Read the notes for all the info and the brainy pretentious details.

I dissagree. A game doesn’t need hi quality to be good. A great example would be cave story. It can be a couple hours to a couple days. Depends on your skillz and how you play. Of course, Tron 2.0 is awesome and has high quality and lots of game time. Also has a great backstory, same as Cave Story.
Oh well, looking forward to your next game!
