In Poetiru by Sebastian Mihai the player controls a brown bear who must eat four bouncing cupcakes. There are nine levels to clear, each level featuring an additional enemy. At the beginning of each level the bear is invulnerable and cannot move until the player presses the fire button to begin. Use this to your advantage, to wait for a gap in the enemies movement.

Fresh from Widdy comes his release for the Nordlicht 2015 Gravedigger Compo for Gameboy Advance. It’s an unfinished Gameboy Advance Shooter named Hyper Armageddon. As most of the time and expected from Widdy, the game clearly shows quality. Too bad this game is damned to not see a final.

Dungeon Stalker for Atari 7800 by Atarius Maximus started out as an homage to Intellivision’s Night Stalker and ultimately evolved into something own. Right now this game should still be considered a work in progress, however it is very a complete and playable game as it is.
Changes:
I posted 1.190 on 6/11/15, it contains many new features and lots of bug fixes. I also removed the original instruction manual text, put the latest manual behind a spoiler tag, and also added it as a pdf attachment. I highly recommend reviewing the manual as it describes key elements of the game that are important if you want to truly enjoy playing it.

Manu Löwe currently works on a new Super Nintendo Entertainment game named Furry RPG. It’s in heavily development and no where near done, but if you love to follow projects from scratch, this one might be the one to follow. He is currently playing around with the implementation of Mode 7 and other things. So go and check it, but do not expect a full game yet.

NEW 6/17/2015: The game is pretty much done at this point. I cleaned up a few last minute bugs, added reset switch functionality, and set up the left difficulty switch to turn on or off the guns at the sides of the screen.

Boom! by Atarius Maximus is a small game similar to Activision’s Kaboom. There are 5 levels that get progressively faster, once you’re on level 5 the speed doesn’t change. You start with three buckets, if you miss a bomb you will lose one. You get 10 points per bomb caught. Once you’ve lost all 3 buckets you will go back to the title screen and your current score will be displayed.
