The aim of this game is to steer your flying saucer around and shoot down evil saucers that appear out of nowhere. The enemy will shoot back, but only when they've turned red first. Keep an eye out for their guns: if they point at you, be prepared to dodge incoming bullets! Two bonus objects may drop from enemy wrecks: a health bonus, and a temporary fast fire bonus. Controls are arrow keys for steering and forward/backward, and space bar or Z for firing. A good tactic is to accelerate a little bit to counter the movement caused by your own gun when firing. Be sure to start moving around when the enemy takes aim. Most of the sound effects in this game were created with DrPetter's very nice SFXR program.

Flyout is a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up written for the Shmup-Dev Autofire 2007 competition, ending up at a tied 9th place out of 16. You control a ship flying up into an endless tunnel, trying to collect as many points as possible by shooting down enemies. As you fly on, enemies will attack in greater numbers. To keep up you should try to collect the ship upgrades provided by stranded Dutch pilots! These guys appear around every kilometer unless the maximum upgrade level of 5 has already been reached. The distance travelled can be seen in the bottom-left corner of the screen. The ship is controlled using the arrow keys and space bar (alternative fire buttons are Z and Ctrl), music can be toggled on/off using M. The tunes used in this game are free music loops from www.deusx.com. Good luck, pilot!

This game is inspired by Space Invaders and Defender, two classic games. It's mainly Space Invaders with additional features. You control a cannon to defend earth against an invasion by aliens. The aliens come in different shapes; some of them will try to capture the little humans at the bottom of the screen. It is possible to pick up humans and transport them to a safer place. There's also a power-up that makes the humans shoot at the invaders. Power-ups are sometimes released by certain types of invaders when you shoot them. When all humans are destroyed the battle is taken into space; this is an idea borrowed from Defender. Big thanks go out to Damien Sturdy for allowing me to use his music on the title page, and to Joe Lesko for testing the game and giving valuable feedback! See the Readme.txt file and the title screen of the game for full credits and more instructions on how to play the game.

In this game, you control a very large steel elephant. This machine was inspired by the walkers in Star Wars, but also by the walkers in shoot 'em up games such as Armalyte on the Commodore 64. I wrote this game for a competition on the Coders Workshop website (which does not exist anymore) where the aim was to write a shoot 'em up, and I had to think about Armalyte and how funny it would be to control one of those walkers. (Although the resemblance with the machines in Armalyte got lost a bit somewhere down the road.) Controls are as follows: use the arrow keys to aim the gun, and use the space bar to fire it. Try to shoot the enemy tanks and aircraft, and also the bullets and bombs they throw at you; after 4 hits by these, the Steel Mammut will, unfortunately, explode.

This game is a simpler version of a 1983 game created by Commodore Electronics and Hal Laboratories that I played on the Commodore 64. You have to steer through the gates using the left and right arrow keys to steer, and the up and down arrow keys to go slower and faster. It pays to go fast since after every 15 seconds, the difficulty level will be increased with more trees appearing, making it harder not to end up against a tree and easier to miss a gate. The game was written for a 100 line competition on the Coders Workshop website. The original game has rabbits running across the screen, this game has skiing bears instead.

Inspired by classic 8 and 16 bit fighting games such as the mighty International Karate, this is an attempt at achieving the same level of fun. There are four different fighters, as this was a rule of the competition in which this was an entry. They share many moves though. The music is by Nebula (Cromdesign). Sound effects in this game were made using a microphone.

If you think this game is rather stupid, that's OK since it was written for a "stupidest game" competition! It contains irritating jokes some of which may only be funny (if at all) to people programming games and using Blitz Basic. Unlike the other games this one does not have a certain fixed speed programmed into it so it may run too fast on super computers and/or on screens that have a really high refresh rate. The goal is to survive for as long as possible in a world of killer pixels.
