short but fun platformer...finsihed both easy and normal mode...first i thought after finsihed easy mode and unlocked normal mode that are the same levels only harder...but total different levels...
i think it needs about 10 min to finish this game.

This smells like an iphone game mock-up!  Fun puzzler, though I don't like the lack of 'restart level' button.

edit - oh, and it just crashed on me on level 5, when I killed some chicks with the spiked block.

Ah; it has a big chu-chu rocket-style feel.  Very pleasant (though some part of me thinks the puzzles are quite overly confusing and arbitrary-seeming).

Theseus - Return Of The Hero
32 MB
http://www.sigma-team.net/games/action/theseus-return-of-the-hero.html

the developers of the alien shooter series and zombie shooter
have released one of their games for free.
its like their other games a cool top down shooter with wasd movement
and mouse aiming.
(select weapons with 1-9 and activate fllashlight with F)

kill hordes of aliens in the survival mode or in the the campaign mode.


- 10 missions, mostly taking place in open spaces;
- lots of playing locations: forest, village, highway, city battles etc;
- 6 types of weapons;
- ability to upgrade the main character;
- inventory shop where you can buy newest equipment between missions.

Can't say I especially enjoyed that to be honest. Movement felt kindof stiff and it just didn't feel as fun as thought it might be.

Thanks for telling. I've only played the demos of Alien and Zombie Shooter I think, but seemingly Theseus is basically identical to all of the rest, apart from differences in weaponry and bestiary. It's fun in short bursts, but gets repetitive quickly. The masses of monsters increases, then they stagnate for a bit while a stronger and faster type of enemy is mixed into the pack, then the amounts grow again, and all the while you get a new weapon yourself.
Enjoyable for a free game, but I wouldn't want to pay for it, especially considering how Sigma Team seemingly doesn't at all improve on their years-old concept.

[edit]
Oh, the monsters in Theseus aren't even new, they're from Alien Shooter 1.

Just gonna pop in and say that this thread has improved my life. Seriously.

RTS of epic awesomeness...

That's also one made in Game Maker. While impressive, it's also a big resource hog. GM isn't very fit for some types of games, unfortunately.

Actually it's fine; what the problem is that a lot of people who use GM are too ignorant of how computers work *not* to load every single graphic and sound into memory on startup rather than to load it from file only when you need it. Even Glum Buster makes this mistake, every single graphic is loaded on startup, leading to 500 MB of used RAM. But it's perfectly possible to create games in GM that load only the resources you need for the current area, and that reduces the RAM it requires. Most GM games that only load resources when needed can keep their RAM usage below 100 MB.

This gaming resources found here are really impressive, I will try everything...as soon as I can.

Cockbag spambaby is right.  This is a nice thread.
