Was that directed at me? I want to know what works and what sucks about games, especially shooters, so I don't make the same mistakes.Quote:

It's a game of colors. Hexes can only be destroyed by shots of the same color, and you change your color by shooting the protective shell off a hex (any color shot will do) and collecting it. You also get a nice score bonus for collecting the chains of the same color hex.
Hexes gather neutral-colored circles that change to their color once they attach, and each one attached lets out a new creature into the play field. Get six circles attached to a hex and you get a boss fight. You're constantly tending the field, trying to preserve one hex for the high-scoring boss fight while keeping the chaos to a minimum. It's quite good, and requires a nice balance between planning and reflex.

Picked this up last night - love the song and the "It's cheap but fun" quality it has. Also, Ansi Snakes!!Quote:

I lost my first two lives of the game there and then just quit. It'd be a much better game with some tweaking I think.
Can't argue the need for tweaking. Zombies is far too easy, and even the end isn't all that tough. That bit in the middle with the slowly-spinning nebula and the green blobs is boring as hell. I primarily liked it for being mental-crazy and a great use of $1 rather than a tuned gaming classic.
Also, I feel the need to say "Ha-ha, you complain it's too easy and then quit when you die!" Just 'cause.

Streets of Fury is out. It's surprisingly good. Plays like a dumber Guardian Heroes, only infused with 90S BADITUDE! IT'S TOTALLY RAD! Well worth the 240 points imo.
Oh shits, I've got the trial queued up. I see it has online co-op! This could be stupidly fun.
I don't think it has online co-op. Or at least I didn't see any option besides local. I'd like to be wrong though.
so hey
this game

is pretty awesome. It's made by the devs of the DS games Nervous Brickdown and Big Bang Mini, easily the best production quality of any game on Indie Games. 60 stages, $3.
They have 4 more games planned in the "series" set to hit about once a month.
