Airscape - The Fall of Gravity
Airscape: The Fall of Gravity is an action platformer game about an octopus lost in a strange and dangerous world, where regular laws of gravity simply don’t apply, and it’s sure to attain decent amount of attention from platformer genre fans. This indie title was developed by students from around the world, and its simple premise allows for the focus to be solely on the gameplay, rather than the story of a platformer game that really doesn’t need one.
When you hit solid ground for the first time, after a some kind of a movement tutorial, the feeling is surprisingly familiar. As you may guess, you don’t stay there for too long. Soon enough you start floating around and defying the laws of gravity. Your little octopus is able to sprint, run and jump its way around the level, and even backtrack or spin around itself in all possible directions.

I first came across Airscape when I volunteered to help test Linux builds. Without being aware that the game had won Best Use of Game Physics in Intel’s Level Up competition and was selected to be showcased at GDC, PAX Australia, PAX East, PAX Prime, and the Boston Festival of Indie Games, my initial impressions were that it would be a widely loved game.
I assumed that its gorgeous graphics, orchestral soundtrack and cute characters would bring people in, and its difficulty curve would make sure it would be offering players months and years' worth of well designed challenges to explore.

Above the Stars
Fun game, and the voiceover is funny, well acted, and enjoyable.
I like leave the game running while at work, come home, buy everything I can with the collected money, then blow up anything that has the audacity to come near the planet I’m protecting.
Fantastic blend of incremental, idle, and active mechanics - all are well done and blend nicely with each other. Not many games make we want to leave my computer on all day when I’m not in front of it, much less make it the first one to be maximized when I sit down.

At the end of the day, I’ve gotten more out of a number of free games. I don’t mind paying for incrementals and idles and the game is cheap. However, the content is very shallow IMO. The upgrades are uninspiring, the overall prestige system is tedious and you’ll quickly find yourself without the desire to keep doing the same thing over and over. The grind I can handle… if the payoff is worth it. I do think the dev has promise though, and I hope they’ll learn valuable lessons for the future.

Airplane shooting spree
Leo pilots the fighter to highlight the enemy’s encirclement. You can shoot the plane or effectively avoid the opposite plane by moving the mouse left and right. You can move back and forth to get more supplies to help break through
There are three types of supply
Red: single shot becomes double shot. If you break through in time, it becomes three shot
Gray: you can summon one aid to attack and destroy the enemy in full screen, but it will not change in a limited time breakthrough

Note:
After the SGF summer contest I realized that I’m a dinosaur, over 900 demos. .. the window of time for me to make a sustainable living from indie game development has closed.
I’m going to return to driving a semi-truck.
If lightning strikes and people give a hoot, I will finish the game.
DRUM’N’BASS MASSACRE
good pick up and play type game. Highly recommend for anyone who has change to spare
pros:
-
I love the mechanics. Movement is simple enough to understand immediately, but hard to completely master. It reminds me of a good Atari 2600 game
-
The music and art continue to feel fresh despite reuse
-
satisfying sound effects
-
low price
cons:
-
the music and samples could be a little bit stronger
-
closing the game with the in-game X button freezes it, and it’s a slight inconvenience to have to remember to alt + f4 every time

Fun Game, low cost and easy mechanics
but
it has so many “bugs” (they aren’t bug cuz is a bad programming problem, not an error)
-because planes collision box some of them will go outside the map so you can’t complete the level
-you can’t go fast cause the camera doesn’t follow you correctly on the borders of the map and some spikes are randomly placed so you can’t dodge them in time
-you’re suppose to learn the map to fly freely, but you don’t have a mini-map to follow and the map is bigger than what your memory can handle\

Quasar
As species.
We always needed a story to believe in
We need a hero to prevail
We need a challenge we can overcome
We need a tragedy to make us one
In the year 2056, the land was facing various problems with overpopulation and hunger.
Technology has evolved in a way that our civilization has already reached the stars, but despite having evolved a lot, we still lacks an energy base that would allow humanity to reach a new level of evolution, as well as being able to explore other solar systems.
SpinZap
SpinZap is a challenging game in classic arcade style. Use your reflexes, dexterity and boss skills to conquer 81 levels of circle zapping madness.
Your task is to steer the spinning circles using various control methods, such as halting, reversing and skipping forward, in order to find a clear path to fire at the plasma ball hiding at the center of the circles. Hit the plasma ball enough times before the time runs out to win the level. Failure to do so results in your cannon being instantly blown up in retaliation.
Depending on how quickly and cleanly you finished the job, you are awarded one, two or three stars upon completion of each level.
The full version of the game spans nine worlds, each world containing nine levels and its own theme song to set the mood.
SpinZap starts off very easy, but grows harder for every world you conquer. In the end, you will need nerves of steel, perfect control and excellent timing to get the highest possible score.
Single-player vs co-op mode
SpinZap was originally designed as a single-player game, but has turned out to be a lot of fun to play in local co-op mode and in ”Remote Play Together” mode. All controllers are active in parallel, letting each player contribute to the team’s successes (or failures) in the best way for each level. Note that there are no differences between the single-player and co-op modes - in fact, they are the same mode.
Control options
Keyboard and joypad / joystick controls are supported. Only keys or buttons are used to play the game. When playing alone, using the keyboard or an arcade stick is highly recommended. Using a joypad in single player mode is possible, but can be regarded as self-punishment, or the equivalent of a self-chosen difficulty level “insane”. When playing cooperatively, joypads work verk well since each participating player only has to worry about their part.
Resolutions and aspect ratios
The game supports a wide range of aspect ratios, making it suitable for ultra-wide and ultra-tall display setups (provided that the GPU and its drivers support such configurations).
Demo
Remember to try the demo to get a hands-on understanding of what the game is about, and how well it plays on your system and with your controller setup.
Warning
This game contains circular rotating patterns which may make it unsuitable for people with photosensitive epilepsy or other photosensitive conditions. Player discretion is advised.
