Veck: Special Edition

Date of Release: Developer: Genre: Platforms: Mode: Engine: Languages: Price:

April 2007 Smayds Shoot 'Em Up Windows Singleplayer Custom English Freeware

Veck SE is an immensely fast-paced romp through fifteen one-minute-long levels, with massive firepower upgrades every minute...(it) draws on many classic arcade titles...though everybody assumes it’s Geometry Wars clone, this isn’t strictly correct.

 Thats what the developer of Veck SE says and I guess there is no need to say anything else.

Warning Forever

Date of Release: Developer: Genre: Platforms: Mode: Engine: Languages: Price:

July 2003 Hikware Shoot 'Em Up Windows Singleplayer Custom Japanese, English Freeware

Warning Forever is a 2D vertical scroll shooting game in which the player keeps on shooting down enemy crafts which increase in size and firepower with each craft being shot down. Since, each craft is made with a procedure, there is no end to the game: you can play until the time ends (which increases when an enemy is killed and decreases faster when the player is killed).
 

Kyntt Stories

Date of Release: Developer: Genre: Platforms: Mode: Engine: Languages: Price:

August 2007 Nifflas Platformer Windows Singleplayer Multimedia Fusion 2 English Freeware

Kyntt Stories is a 2D platform game in which each level is its own little adventure.

Kyntt Stories is the sequel of Knytt. It has great environments and puzzle elements. Its made so that anyone can easily make levels, each level supposedly telling a different story (hence the name). Every level is divided into screens which appear when you go at the edge of the map as opposed to the more common scrolling action (the developer said it looks better the way it is and I couldn't agree more).

The playable character is named Juni, who can be anyone depending on the story of the level, as explained in the cutscenes and in-game objects. During the game (or right from the start), she may have powers ranging from simple ones like run and jump to special objects like umbrella for gliding.
