ketm

Raptor, Tyrian and Galaga. You are a spacepilot controlling your secret
prototype ship. At regular interval's you get attacked by the bad guys. You
have a mission to clean this sector from them (i.e. Kill Everything That

val-and-rick
shooter game
Val & Rick is probably the precursor to Gunroar, featuring similar controls
but in a different environment. Only 2D sprites and backgrounds are used in
what seems like a tribute to Xevious and Star Soldier.
pixfrogger
help the frog cross the street
PiX Frogger is a clone of the classic game Frogger, in which you must help
a frog cross the street to avoid becoming roadkill by cars and trucks.
The frog starts at the bottom of the screen and the only control the player
has is navigating the direction for the frog to hop. The game allows 4 players
playing simultaneously with the keyboard.
mu-cade
physics centipede invasion, smashup waggly shmup
Mu-cade is another shoot-em-up game by Kenta Cho. In this game Kenta has
introduced physics into his formula of hardcore shooting games. Similar
in some ways to Asteroids and Nibbles, the playing area is a rectangular
arena in which vessel-snakes have only one idea at the head: expelling
the others into the vacuum. You incarnate one of them, and you'll quickly
realize the subtlety of the goal: your tail lengthens as you destroy your
enemies.
