This is my entry.
It´s about to fight randomly generated monster-faces.
The "ship" and the amount of monster-face attacks is also randomly generated.

Gosh; more flesh-toned phallic imagery  ::)

(looks nice though!)

It´s not even supposed to look like flesh but thanks anyway.
The game will probably going to change color between the monster-faces in the finished version.

but it looks so awesome like this.

That's the most phallic spaceship design I've seen since the Klik & Play 100-in-1 Pirate Kart's "This Game Stars My Penis".

I like the idea of randomly generated faces though.

Haha, I didn´t even realize that myself. However, the turret is changed into something more child-friendly now.  :P

You needn't change it for us, you know. After all, this is the forum that brought you Giant Naked Men.

In England PG means "parental guidance". Now I know why.

Phallicness is good around here.

All puce phallicness FTW!

Pff! The phallicness is passee, my friend.  8)

Oh so it's a pre-puce phallicness then.

The game is able to generate 22000 different monster-faces right now.

The game currently generates a monster-face out of:
-Bodies: 20
-Eyes: 11
-Noses: 10
-Mouths: 10

There will probably be more bodies, eyes, noses and mouths in the finished version. Maybe also some mustaches...

Any monocles?

Maybe...

Please come with suggestions of new things to generate!

Monocles?
hair?
beards?
facial scars?
wrinkles

Yep - pipes, moustache (all variants of the handlebar, naturally), fezzes, bowler hats. Must-have features :D

Haha, didn't notice that! Very, very good.

I´m just going to add mustaches into the game.

boooooo

I think I´ll not even add mustaches into the game :O
I made two mustaches to see what it was going to look like. You know what? It was looking like shit! And often the mustache overlapped either the nose or the mouth; not very good.

Maybe I´ll add something else instead.
I´ve also added some eyes, noses and mouths. So now there is:

Bodies:20
Eyes:15
Noses:15
Mouths:15

And still counting...

Glad to hear this isn't dead.

I personally think the odd mustache wouldn't go amiss... you know, as long as you didn't overdo it...

There's just something so wrong but so right about these graphics.

This is visually by far my favorite entry. These retar... I mean mentally challenged heads are so shootabl... I mean lovable in a certain special way. :D

The game is ending up well and will probably be finished within 4 days. Probably.
Here is another screenie:

ooooh, those heads just beg for a little mix with nenads avatar :D

maybe some random green, white, pink spots?

I <3 Loboton  :D

Love everything about it so far. :)

Penis ship is no more!

Pretty Freaky Grick. Can't wait for finished product.

Release date: 1/6

Is that guy... puking skin?

Haha, no. You´ll understand when playing.

:o looks awesome!

This is awesome, it looks like gameboy game  :)

The release is going to be belated. I´ve got some problems with choosing the music.
Sorry for that.

Well, it has to be June 2nd at least. :P

Beta available!

Quick comments...
The teardrops don't seem to do anything significantly different than the skin fleck attacks, even though they're slightly faster. The score counter is a bit distracting. I thought it was a pickup the first time I saw it, then subconsciously thought it was a lives counter the next time. I'd love to see the faces emote more in-game, even if it's just occasional minor rotation or resizing without extra animations. From the screenshots, I thought that the skin flecks would actually deform the face as they're shed, although that's a lot to ask this late. I like the style and the music, and the game itself is pretty fun. I love the transition to each new face. (Got 6 kills after a few tries, mostly by stockpiling missiles on the first few faces.)

Ha ha, homing teeth :D

It's addictive as hell. Can we pleeeeease have an extra-ugly megaboss every five heads? You could just generate a head with 3-5 eyes and 1-2 mouths and scale it x2.

Oh and blinking eyes and talking mouths could really add to te "cuteness" of the heads :D

Beta updated with blinking eyes and faster tear-bombs.

Yay for the eyes!
I've managed to nail down 9 of the sad fuckers so far :D

Imo the player ship should be made about 25% smaller for easier bullet evading. Now some deaths still feel as they are not my fault. That's generally a thing you want to eradicate from any game.

Plays great though!

Check the collection of screenshots a little bit up - I´ve managed to kill 10.. eh.. sad fuckers! I´m in the lead!

 :D I love this, the music is awesome and the gameplay is fun, but damn hard. Damn those homing teeth!

Awesome Sauce. Loves the blinking.

Also, TWENTY TWO! Yeah.

But I like bread. Especially baguettes. They´re my favourites!

The game is finished now! I added some mouth-animations.

The way they spray bread-shit everywhere when they die is really annoying. I don't think I died once except from that, and every time it was impossible to avoid.

Other than that, though, nice game, and love the music.

After some tries it isn´t even hard to avoid the spraying skin-flecks. It´s easy to avoid them when you kinda know when it´s going to start spraying.

Glad you liked it!

Yeah, I got 24. Beat you Gainsworthy!

This game is just great! I've had a lot of fun playing it. Hope you will continue your work on it after the competition.
Feature suggestion :-X Add some kind of shield (which could be collected like missiles), because sometimes there are really tough situations, especially when you kill another face right over you  ::)

I'm working my way towards 50.

There's a kind of dominant strategy you can use. Since heads cannot harm you directly it's a good idea to camp on the top of the screen most of the time. That way you only need to worry about the homing teeth. Play predominantly with missiles and come down for short periods only when you need to grab a missile pack or outmaneuver a swarm of teeth. And as a general hint - always cross head's path above it. Doing it below, there's a great deal of chance you'll get a bullet.

Again - excellent game!

I used that technique too! If it´s allowed now or after the voting, I´m going to make the player-ship die when colliding with faces.

Btw, when you drive in the border, your speed increases. Is it a bug, or a very useful feature? :)

Well, it´s programmed like this: When ship collides with border, Stop ship. So basically the player just stops when hitting the border.

Huh? Then why my speed doubles? :)

The speed increases when moving while touching the border. Beside that, I don´t know any time when the speed is faster.

BTW! I updated the game so that it´s harder to "cheat".

Wow, this game is addictive!

It’s simple and enjoyable. I like the variety in the random faces (and little animations), the minimal graphical style and having one life. It was very easy to learn how to play. I never felt that I died unfairly. My highest score was 6, from about 10 games. No bugs encountered.

Possible improvements:

Shift was an odd choice of confirm button, because my initial reaction was to type Shift+R for the first letter of my name, so I ended up with a blank name.

It would be nice if the current game was highlighted on the high score table.

Maybe splitting it into levels would help it feel more like a game, because the player gets to feel like they’re progressing and the game could be winnable. Perhaps each level could have a colour, to clearly define it.

I think I´ll maybe add those things you suggested, in the final version.

Yay another shmup with random elements.  the different faces are funny and the gameplay quite enjoyable in its simplicity and tough difficulty that keeps you coming back just to get one enemy further than last.

I can't decide if this is my favorite game or my most frustrating because it's definitely the one I've replayed the most but my reasons for it was just to get to a higher score because I was so frustrated by how I died for stupid reasons...
Pretty cool game though otherwise... I agree with the other person, it seems like the skin should shed and deform as you shoot the boss. And the teeth are kind of tough to see. =)

Nice!  I liked the music and the color scheme quite a lot.  I found myself having trouble seeing the white enemy tracking bullet things, but otherwise it was straight-forward and intuitive.
