Jumpman is retro, fun, and free

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Jumpman, (no, not Jumpman), is a game for Mac/PC/Linux/iPhone with the look and feel of an Atari-era puzzle-platformer but with a few interesting twists thrown in. It’s fun! You can download it for *free* and give it a whirl. If you like it, consider shelling out a mere $2.99 for the iPhone version to support the creator.

Speaking of the creator, who seems to go by Mechanically Separated Meat, he (she?) sounds like a very smart and interesting fellow whose blog posts include lengthy discussions on Quantum Physics. His hacked SNES9X code for rendering multiple attempts on Super Mario World is particularly interesting.

PS, I found this guy via TouchArcade. (Bit Pilot is good too!)

Two Indie Retro Shooters and Bootleg Demakes

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Nobody Shooter for Windows XP is a Gameboy-esque demake of another indie game, Everyday Shooter. Scramble to collect gems in an asteroids like environment. More bootleg de-makes here!!!

ポケコンでシューティング (Pocket-Computer Shooting) feels like 1942 but with a Space Invaders motif played on a Gameboy and much harder! It was found on wonderfl, a site for online communal Flash development, and uses the AS3 implementation of CannonML, a script language for creating games with large numbers of bullets on the screen.

Note: neither game is very groundbreaking, just thought the links were interesting.
