Ablation X – The sequel to Ablation! Quote nenad:
This is not an actual level that’ll be in the game. I built it as a sort of a joke/teaser showing off the game concept. For that reason everything is cranked up a bit…
I had the idea for logo boss right from the start of the development. Since game’s visuals consist mostly of flat, hard vector shapes, the “typographic” enemy kind of came out naturally.
…All the white parts on enemies represent their reserve of bullets. With “bullet thief” you can sneak up on them and suck the ammo out. Bullets then stick to your ship (think Tumiki Fighters or Katamari) until you decide to fire them back at enemies in form of directed or radial blast.
Brave Karma Warriors – Originally made for the B-Game Compo, this delightfully weird shooter is due this Christmas thereabouts. Cactus strong like bull!
Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer – Whoa, can you say “eye candy?” This shooter will be out for the PC and PS3 soon, I think. You can pre-order the game at Play Asia right now, though. Love the cheesy voiceovers!
But c’mon, only two umlauts in the title?
