The music from the recently released Xbox live arcade game Castle Crashers has been released for download (I just bought a 360 last night so I could play this game, among many other games).
Play it, love it, get annoyed by all the shrubbery obstructing your view.  It’s well worth the money.

Crimson Star is a WIP sidescroller game being developed by DarkSirrusGames.
The developer claims it’s about 8% completed.  So doing the math here, let’s see, carry the 1, yes, it will be close to finished in time for the 2024 Olympics.
We will be watching you, Crimson Star.  You’re almost lookin’ good.
Check out the development blog here.

Jasper’s Journeys is a sidescrolling 2d platformer with cute graphics.  This bunny is really well polished, smooth, and shiny.  Nice use of colors, guys.  Your goal is to collect gems for money, fruit for weapon ammo and gold orbs because they’re golden orbs.  There are also several types of powerups you can get throughout the [...]

A fresh new preview of the 2d platformer “Skin & Bones” has been released.  The whole game is fresh to me because it’s the first time I’ve heard of it.  Have you heard of it?  Either way, now you have.
Looks like you control 2 different characters and flip between them with the push of a button.  [...]

 
The Hazel art directory of is filling up.  I sent one of the last art requests away and will only-probably-hopefully have 1 more medium sized request.  So all I really need are more scrolling background objects and particle effects.  There will most likely be a few more items that’ll pop up but for the most part I’m ready to actually start [...]

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.  PW doesn’t defeat the almighty, [...]

Castle of Elite is a platform puzzle game made by Daniel Remar.  The controls use both the keyboard and mouse simultaneously and it works great.  The character is controlled by the keyboard and the mouse is used to place/destroy blocks.  There are a limited # of blocks you can pick up.  Once you have placed/destroyed a block [...]

 (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.
Here is how it starts:
“In the [...]
