for those of you who know about dreamcast or playstation 2 games may have heard of a game called rez. it was a shooter that has a musical aspect involved. this game is similar, in that the music is enhanced when you destroy an enemy. this makes for some pretty cool effects when you kill several enemies in a row. this game is sort of 2.5D, tilting the generic vertical shooter into a straightforward isometric shooter. the graphics are sort of a cross between 3D models and particle clouds. also, don't let the fire touch the bottom of the screen. a pretty awesome game download here.

this is another strictly boss fighting game. this game takes the reflection game mechanic and changes it a little. when you have reflection enabled, which you can tell by if you have two small squares in front of you, press z to reflect bullets that are close to the squares. depending on the level of boss you are fighting, the bullets may or may not reflect back. if you get hit, you will lose the reflection ability and revert to shooting bullet streams. if you get hit when you don't have reflection, you die. you only have one life, so use it well. download here.

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.
