Back in 2004 Codeminion released a vertical space shooter titled, Pteroglider. It was their first game published on the net and it was a commercial failure. But keep reading, as you will see it was more due to its unique take on an old genre than any thing else.

The key problems were the use of DX9 drivers (when not every one had them), ‘innovative mouse targeting’ controls, the unbalanced difficulty of levels and lack of tutorial.

Which the creators also point out in their blog, which is a good read if you would like to read more on why the game was not the success they had imagined.

So before I bore you anymore, download the massive 11.2mb full version game and start blasting away!

The OSSwin Project is a site, hosted by SourceForge, that has compiled a huge list of open source software for Windows, broken into categories for easier browsing. They also have a separate page for games. All very much worth checking out for regular or new open source users.

This is a guessing game by Grant Robinson based on his project, Montage-a-google. You are given a montage of pictures and have to guess what keyword they have in common.

Start guessing NOW.

Also have a look at his original project mentioned above which creates a large montage of google images based on your keyword.

This is a small game project I have been watching for a little while now.

The aim of the game is quite simple, you get the ball from the start to the finish… the feature that makes this stand out is you draw the objects you need to move the ball!

Instead of me trying to explain it is easier for you to have a look at a preview via the developers blog - HERE.

His original (screenshot shown below) and simpler version, a game made in 7 days, is available to download HERE. But still worth downloading to get an idea of what he is trying to do.
