Rapidly Advancing Laser

RAL-screen.png

A small game inspired by a certain scene from a James Bond movie, and also by my previous game Trusty Assistant. Click the tiles in the control panel to momentarily deactivate the laser, then drag the manacled spy lady to rotate her torso out of the laser's path. How long can she last?!

ChickenFall: ChickenCatch

screenshot141.png

In this first fresh, fast, and furious action-puzzle spin-off of the CHICKENFALL franchise, use your mouse to poke and prod the falling chickens into the nests. Look out for bombs! CATCH THOSE CHICKENS.

Mouse: Aim fingers
Left mouse button: Poke with left finger
Right mouse button: Poke with right finger

HINT: Holding down the mouse button longer will extend the fingers farther.

Your Mischievous Mouse

mischievousmouse.png

This is perhaps inspired by The Haunted Mouse, and to an equal extent by WarioWare: Smooth Moves and WarioWare: Twisted!. Keep the rodent player-character from being zapped, even as your mouse controls are periodically rotated 90 degrees, requiring you to rotate your in-real-life mouse to compensate.

The Windows version works a bit better than the HTML5 version, insofar as the latter can't register the mouse's movement if the pointer drifts out of the screen region.

Frozen Planetini

planetini.png

This is a quick game, inspired primarily by forum posts describing ZiGGURAT, a game I have not yet played or seen footage of. It is also a continuation of the themes of Make Me a Moon and Satellalune, as well as the gravity-well aiming oddities of Super Calamity Annie Galaxy.

Your tiny planet has grown icy as its sun grows old. To get closer to its sun, you'll have to float through hostile Gellitron territory. Use the North Pole Turret to bounce shots off your planet's shiny exterior to launch them at foes! Red shots do three times the damage of yellow shots.

Click and drag above the planet to fire shots. The farther you click, the higher they will arc.

Pong Tower

pongtower.png

This is the next evolution of Dark Pong and Pong/Antipong, with a good dose of inspiration from Prizeleaper. Get the ball to the top of the tower by bouncing it off the paddles. A line indicates the highest distance that the ball has reached - in that respect, it owes something to Keep Me Occupied.

Windows version in the Zip. A HTML5 version will appear sometime later.

ABOVE v. BELOW

aboveandbelow.png

This started out as an attempt to make a better version of Nitrome's Mega Mash, and it gradually grew ever closer back toward ROM CHECK FAIL and WarioWare Inc., the initiators of the 'mashup' genre.

It's primarily an intimation about the tendency of old arcade games to have a strong vertical dynamic to their design. In many such games, the player occupies the bottom half of the screen, and the CPU opponent controls the top half. Every five seconds, ABOVE v. BELOW randomly swaps its bottom-screen player-character and top-screen antagonist with those from several such vertical arcade games, demonstrating that the vertical dynamic inherent in these games allows such match-ups to be both playable and interesting.

Play the game using only the mouse!

This mashes up the following games (don't read if you don't want spoilers):
* Pong
* Breakout
* Space Invaders
* Pinball
* Missile Command
* Pang (a.k.a Buster Bros)
* Crystal Quest (admittedly not a vertical game, but included for variety).

There's no sound because I didn't feel like it.

Pong/Antipong

pongantipong.png

"At last, a game that exercises your right brain, AND your left brain!"

"An examination of duality in the most powerful artistic medium available to us: the microcomputer programme. As the player moves the bottom paddle toward the ball, she is moving the top paddle away from it. With each volley caught, she has sowed the seeds of downfall on the next. Her success is turned upside down into a failure, her victory into a defeat. And thus, much like Neo, she finally sees the binary of all things."

This is yet another single player Pong-type game. In this one, your single mouse controls both paddles, but the bottom paddle travels in the opposite direction as the top paddle. How long can you keep the ball in the court?

Ultimate Game

ultimategame.png

This is loosely inspired by Claude Shannon's "Ultimate Machine", but is a little bit different. It's also inspired by Retro Sabotage.

Click a spaceship to place a target. Click another to fire a laser between two ships. Try and destroy multiple ships in one laser strike!

Finderseek

Finderseek.png

"Should you buy this game? Get this: not only does randomly spazzing the mouse all over the place NOT work, it's also free! That's right, even the developer thinks it's not worth money."

This is Finderseek. See if you can find the invisible invader! That's all I can say.

Inspirations:
* Frequon Invaders
* This Is The Only Level
