Toupety - Abraão Isvi
Abraão Isvi is working on a cool looking platformer in Java. Toupety appears to be the name of a small green blob whose explores caverns with a trust ray gun. Check out the Toupety site for videos and screenshots. License: Unknown Hydro Hydra - Scarzzurs
Guide your undersea creature around the Hydro Hydra world absorbing microbes to increase the length of your tail and give you access to upgrades. As the game goes on new enemies attack and dodge you, biting off parts of your tail. The game is certainly reminiscent of Flow in it's gentle graphical and audio style. Try it out and see how beautiful Java 2D can be. License: Freeware Incredibuilder - Jerome Blouin
Looking at the initial screen shots you might think this is another tetris clone, however with Incredibuilder (webstart) Jerome Blouin seems to be attempting to deliver something different. Your job is to assemble the tetris like pieces into a pattern shown to the left of the screen. You can do this by pushing the falling pieces around or by cutting up the fallen pieces, costing you money. It's still a work in progress but the current playable version is pretty interesting to try. License: Unknown Snowman Village - Orangy Tang
The venerable Orangy Tang brings us a bizzare and challenging game in Snowman Village. Guide your snowball across the frozen landscape dodging spikes, birds and bushes and collecting decorations. Once you get back to the village you can build, decorate and name your own snowman to remember your journey. License: Freeware Brick Dropper - Alex Jeffrey
Brick Dropper is one wierd game based on a classic(?) from the past. Move your player to avoid the blocks dropping from above while climbing up them to reach the top of the towers introduced at the start of each level. Read more on Alex's blog. License: Freeware Milpa - Pulp Games
This is a bit of old news now I suppose, but Milpa is still a great game from Pulp Games. Swap the fruits around to make matching sets by click to rotate sections. It initially looks similar to other puzzle game mechanics but is actually quite unique. Beautiful presentation and all implemented in purest Java. License: Freeware HHexen - HamsterOfDeath
HHexen is a work in progress over on the JMonkey Forums. The author describes it as "a little game to mess around and kill some bad guys" which sounds just about perfect to me. The procedural dungeon generation looks particularly interesting. Note that although the game looks like Hexen/Heretic it's not intended as remake.

This applet shooter is retro gaming at it's purist. Wave after wave of enemies, with the odd boss, coming flying at you - bullets filling the screen. Just when you thought you'd won, the whole thing repeats only faster. A must try for shooter fans. License: Freeware UFO - Matthias Mann
UFO (webstart) is an all action shooter placing you in control a futuristic jet defending an sparse landscape from incoming alien attack. The 3D graphics (Worlscape Engine) don't hamper the arcade feel of this shooter which is a hell of a lot of fun. We just need to convince him to add multi-player and full UFO Unknown style campaign mode! License: Freeware Multitris - Group 23
Five students from Sweden are working on a multiplayer tetris game. However, unlike your multiple arena/well based multiplayer tetris this one is co-operative and all in one play area. Everyone appears on the same screen moving their own piece around trying to slow into the over all shape. Seems to work pretty well across the net, server set up and join are really simple. It's surprisingly fun and well worth trying out (via Webstart) License: Unknown |
