In Titanion, the ship you pilot has a capture beam that can be used to coax enemy craft to your side. These deserters will form a line formation and act as options, increasing your firepower in the process.

There is a standard level progression implemented, with all captured enemies retained from one stage to the next.

This version of xWUNG is a port of cactus' earlier release, originally created using the Game Maker engine. You play by moving the mouse to swing a ball. The ball is attached to a wire, and both of them eliminate enemies on contact. Debris will destroy your ship, so avoid them whenever possible.

There are bosses that appear with regular intervals, and new enemies are introduced as the game progresses. The single power-up found in the game allows you to nullify certain enemy projectiles. Good scores can be achieved by making successive combos.

In Lonely House-Moving, the reluctance of the story's protagonist to let his young partner relocate to greener pastures has caused him to chase after a moving truck carrying the love of his life and her belongings in it. Your task is to avoid the falling objects by jumping over them for maximum points whenever possible.

Bonus points are awarded for jumps which are further to the right. Execute Mario stomps on moles and crows for a score boost. Collect corns or rice balls to restore health. Approaching bicycles can be anticipated by listening closely for their ringing bells.

Use the arrow keys to move, and hold the space key to jump. Avoid catching her undies to earn extra points at the end of the game.

Tower of Moai is another fun little diversion from SKT, creators of the equally brilliant Nest of Moai and Nobuyuki Forces series. In this game, your task is to direct statues towards a swinging ladder. The platform that these guys are on is slightly unbalanced, so there's some work to be done in order to get the required quota for a good ranking.

Occasionally large objects will land on this platform, though these hazards can be pushed out of the way with a little effort. Rescue a hundred Moai statues in less than ninety seconds to progress.

The Adventures of Cagney is a short 'Choose Your Own Adventure' novel playable online with plenty of images to accompany each turn of the page.

Exploring every single scene won't take longer than fifteen minutes, though the author had included additional bonus content to reward adventurers brave enough to survive until the very end.

XED is a decent vertical shooter by BomB that will please veteran shmup fans, but drive beginners mad even at it's default difficulty setting. The game sports great pixel graphics and consistent frame rate, though only two continues are allowed for each game.

Hold the left shift key for spread shot, and use the Z key for concentrated firepower. Your special weapon can be charged by destroying enemy ships, then activated by pressing the X key. A stage select feature allows players to attempt levels previously completed. The config file can be used to change key configuration settings.

Strict Machine is an arena shooter which borrows gameplay elements from Invader, another one of dessgeega's creation. Use the W, A, S and D keys to shoot in any of the four possible directions. Tap a shoot button quickly for rapid fire.

There are only six stages to play in total.

Purple Reign is a top-down shooter created by Fiona Burrows in under two days for the twelfth Ludum Dare game development competition. The story plays out like a conventional horror drama set in space, where a commando is sent to investigate the sudden loss of contact with a research station.

Use the W, A, S and D keys to move. Hold the left mouse button to shoot. The game has only six levels.

In Zilch, two players attempt to score a set number of points before their opponent does, simply by deciding on when to roll the dices and when to bank in the points they've acquired up to that roll. Like Yahtzee, certain dice combinations awards more points, but the bank option is only available when you've scored a total of three hundred points from all your rolls. You also lose your turn and all accumulated points for that round if you fail to score anything after your first roll in each turn.

With the tutorial enabled, players would require only a couple of turns to grasp the basic rules of the game.

Stair Dismount is a computer game made by Jetro Lauha of tAAt. It is a physics game where the goal is maximising the damage done to a 3D stick figure. The player causes damage by briefly applying a force to the figure to make it fall down a staircase.

The stick figure's falls are accompanied by various sound effects - cracks, wails and groans - as it makes its way to the bottom. Stair Dismount uses ragdoll physics, so the figure is very floppy as it falls, like a ragdoll.

The game was first published in Assembly 2002, where it won the first prize in the game development competition. The newest version, 1.0.3, is available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
