Omega Fenix - Flash Based Shmup

Senor Robot Studios has released a playable demo of a pretty snazzy shmup called Omega Fenix. It's basically a top down shooter with some impressive animation and gameplay (it's hard!)

Trippy New Indie Game: Blumenmacht

From the IndieGamer post:Blumenmacht is a unique mixture of shoot'em up and memory gameplay. The nonviolent game comes with a colourful flower power theme and is controlled only with the mouse. You can play nine levels on three different difficulty settings

From my perspective this game has a bright future as a potential handheld game...

Foobar the Bazbarian in Apollo (and Laszlo)

I have revived an ancient javascript game I wrote back in 1997 called Foobar the Bazbarian. I managed to find an old copy of the game on some page archive and I rewrote it in Laszlo back in 2003. Today I found that old code and fixed the Laszlo syntax errors (the language has changed alot since I wrote it) and managed to get an Apollo version of the game working. So, here in 2007 you have a first. A game written in 1997 ported in 2003 to Laszlo running under Apollo. Just like back then, when this was one of the very first javascript games, Foobar gets to be one of the very first Apollo games. Check it out. It sucks! But it shows that you can link together lots of ancient technology to still create something kinda cool. If you die in the game you just have to quit and restart, sorry.
