todays feature is a fangame based on one of my favorite arcade shooters of all time, e.s.p. ra de. this game, called iloli, is a one level boss stage game, featuring the female character from e.s.p. ra de, against the final boss of the game. most of the gameplay mechanics have been eliminated, including secondary projectiles, and charge shot. mostly, you move your character and dodge bulleds, while firing a constant stream at the boss. its very simple, and is mostly cool because of its theme. the graphics are very similar to the origional gameboy, or rather the original wonderswan. still a nice solid game, and with four levels of difficulty, you can easily kill a few minutes. download here.

anyone familiar with shmups should know what gradius is. or parodius, or darius. or even salamander. there are also a countless number of spinoffs, clones, and games that straight steal the mechanics from these games. gradius is one of the more notable sidescrolling shooters of all time, with its customization of powerups and easy playability, yet massive difficulty. this game is called monadius, and brings some visual flair to the familiar setup. the graphics are practically wiredframe, but with sketchy outlines, making all of the ships and powerups wiggle a little in their places. the lines are constantly moving, giving it an unpolished look, similar to shows like dr katz proffessional therapist, or ed, edd, and eddy. see the screenshots for a better explanation. the controls are very resposive and are displayed as soon as you start the game, but there is no in game music. it runs in a window, so you can play your own music if you so desire. a very nice very well done game. download here.
