Crazy cactus has put together (in 24 hours, I might add) a great “boss rush” shoot ‘em up called Fractal Fighter. In this one you’ve got to clip off the tips of each boss while you slowly make your way in to the core. Each “generation” of the boss has it’s own attack pattern.
I really frickin’ love this game, especially the way the two different weapons (gun and laser) can be used in different situations. cactus, you are the man of the hour.

Update (from cactus):
In other news: I’ve updated the game. New things: Random Mode, Lives, Targetting + lots of misc stuff that you might not notice.
The targetting works like this: press C and three crosshairs will appear. One at the position of the enemy closest to your x-coordinate, one at the x-coordinate of that enemy and the y-coordinate of yourself, and a third at your x-coordinate and the closest enemy’s y-coordinate. When you align with the aim a small beep will play to confirm that you’re locked on. Press C again fast to dispatch six missiles that will move towards the spot where you locked on to target. Targetting also makes it easier to find “hidden parts” and to locate nearest destroyable entity. Hint: Targetting is best used against the bigger cannons.
