Breaking the Tower - Markus Persson

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 19:06:35 +0000

Markus Persson, author of Miners4k, brings us another tiny masterpiece in the form of Breaking the Tower. This amazing little game was his entry for the 48 hour Ludum Dare contest. The game plays a little like Settlers, or Black and White - i.e. it's about managing a bunch of peons to achieve a goal, in this case "breaking the tower". If you don't mind slower paced games, check this out - it really is a lot of fun packed into a tiny package.

Sparx - Jacob Jerrik

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 12:12:23 +0000

Sparx is a great little shooter project from Jacob Jerrik. Control your claw with WASD and aim with the mouse as hordes of enemies attack - watch the sparks fly as you blast the hell out of them. It's still in progress but whats there now is already fun. Pure Java 2D by the looks of things which makes it doubly impressive in my books.

Chambered - Markus Persson

Fri, 30 May 2008 11:45:45 +0000

Markus Persson is working on bringing us another fantasy based adventure, this time in the form of a low tech applet. Chambered brings to mind Dungeon Master and the Ultima Underworld series setting you in a tight space with a band of adventurers. The game is in the early stages of development but luckily we get to see it as it develops. Keep an eye on this one.

Hydro Hydra - Scarzzurs

Fri, 16 May 2008 20:26:25 +0000

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.

Attack of the Meeplings - Tiny Frog Software

Wed, 14 May 2008 20:49:28 +0000

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.
