Title: A few very cool looking games
Post by: drventure on November 28, 2010, 12:11:46 am

In the spirit of the bullet hell genre...

Has anyone here seen Charlie's Games?

Irukandji and BulletCandyPerfect look outstanding.

Scoregasm also looks to be a winner when he releases it.

Awesome looking games, and cheap but not free. Not sure if they work well with typical cab controls. However, they look like standard dual joystick setups...


Here's a trailer for Bullet Candy

Anyone played them before?

i would purchase this for use as a route machine (provided i had the authors permission of course) i think it could get quite addictive.

looks like i might send an e-mail to the author and ask.

LOL @ Space Phallus.
Some of the comments are hilarious:  “i love ---Deutsche Frankfurters---, thanks for the link”

I have it.  I don't play it much (got it in a package of games on sale).  It didn't map to dual keyboards well (but I think it might work if I remember correctly) with dual stick joysticks...so a keyToJoy type app might do.

Geometry Wars clone....which of course is descended from Robotron.

Bullet Candy looks awesome.  I may have to pick that up. 

Space Phallus is just odd.

Yeah, space phallus is a bit of a gag.

But Bullet Candy and that Scoregasm look pretty good.

Definitely derivative of Gridwars and Robotron, but they're two of my favorites, so that's not a bad thing!

Iv'e also gotten into some of those crazy bullet hell Doujin japanese fan games. Holy hell, some of those are just nuts.
