Old school chase action game ‘A7Xpg‘ by Kenta Cho, ported to Pandora by M-HT.

Control your ship and gather golds. The ship accelerates while holding the boost button. A boost power runs out about 1.5 seconds, so you have to push the boost button again to maintain the speed.

The gauge at the right-down corner is the power gauge. The power increases when you take a gold at high speed. When the power gauge becomes full, your ship becomes invincible for a while. Attack enemies and earn the bonus score.

Pandora NubNub! by _wb_ and Jester/Sanity is a fast-paced, original arcade-style game with simple vector graphics and cool music. It is played with both nubs. Supports C4A highscores.

You control a creature called “the NubNub”. It eats yellow stuff to grow. If it grows big enough, you go to the next level. The NubNub has to avoid the red stuff, because it hurts and makes the NubNub shrink. If the NubNub shrinks too much, it dies.

Eating yellow stuff, but especially green stuff, makes the NubNub have more attraction power to better attract yellow stuff. Touching blue stuff diminishes attraction power and turns it into repulsion, which makes it hard to eat yellow stuff.

Changes:

– Added slow-mo and hyper rounds
– Added music for the two new special rounds (now 13 music tracks total)
– Special rounds are introduced earlier
– Minor scoring changes
– Minor tweaks (e.g. more robust C4A)
