Cubosphere Alpha 0.03 New 8 Feb 10 19:12
submitted by cubosphereposted by nath
Category: puzzle
Description: 3d Puzzle similar to Kula World / Roll Away

Roll your ball trough a 3d maze, collect all keys and proceed to the exit. The strange physics - where gravity acts always relative to your position and orientation - makes Cubosphere to a challenging puzzle where no "up", "down", "left", "right", "front" and "back" exist.

The game comes with an internal level editor!

Currently in a playable Alpha Version with sound and music and already many features included.

Retrobattle New 7 Feb 10 15:08
submitted by remarposted by nath
Category: arcade
Description: Oldschool arcade platformer

Retrobattle is made to look and feel like the classic arcade-style NES games, such as Ice Climber and Clu Clu Land. Not only are the sprites limited to three colours each, but the scoring, increasing difficulty, and setup of the game makes for a challenging arcade experience that mixes various oldschool concepts. Note that playing on Skill 1 is pretty boring compared to the havoc of Skill 8, so it may seem slow at first. This project is kind of abandoned, so if you would like to continue and implement the few missing features, you're welcome! See the retro/doc/retro.org file for a list of things to do.
