Plasma warrior is a shout out to the original (amazing) Metroid for the NES. First and foremost we can say not many games can stand up to the early beauties the Metroid games were (and still are) so mimicking it in any way is an attempt at trying to defeat a God.

(The “new” look)
Some days are the greatest development days and some just aren’t. Luckily I’ve been having mostly productive days lately.
For some terribly whacked out reason when Dell first sent me my laptop 2.5 years ago I thought it’d be a good idea to darken most of the art files while increasing their contrast quite [...]

Frozzd is a sidescrolling platformer. It’s not just any sidescrolling platformer though - it has Super-Mario-Galaxy-like planet hopping goodness. The graphics are very cartoony and the audio is poofy soft, like a pillow (a nice soft pillow, not a gross, wet pillow).
You play as an astronaut hopping from planet to planet. Your goal is to [...]

The Underside is a platform-adventure game claiming to be similar to the likes of Metroid, Castlevania and/or Cave Story. It’s free roaming, but its gameplay will be a bit more story driven than said games.
The demo is pretty short, but the small amount of story in it is awesome juiciness.

Cursor*10 is a fantastical flash game. You really just need to play it to get the full effect, it’s better to figure out how to play it by actually playing it ’cause anything said about it might ruin the experience.

Aveyond 2 is a top-down RPG reminiscent of the old style SNES games. To answer your question - RPG stands for Role Playing Game, not rocket propelled grenade, thank you. But after loading up the game for the first time I thought I had been hit by the latter, died, and gone to heaven. [...]
