Star Ark v2018.06.14 (WIP) (Genesis Game)

Star Ark is a science fiction game being developed for the Sega Genesis. The game is set on an interstellar colony ship. The player is a member of the crew who must put down a mutiny and set the ship back on course. The 8 Bit Daddy Daughter Team recently posted an update.

Quote:

Recently wiped out a lot of the old videos and images from Twitter. I think this one gives a nice idea of the overall feel of the physical game play environment. Still need to add NPCs and all sorts of other fun stuff.

Newo Escape v1.9 (Wii Game)

Newo Escape by Owen got an update after almost four years: Your planet explodes and you are chased by a bounty hunter, try to escape without crashing you broken spaceship. Your spaceship has no breaks and no lazers. You gain points by flying close to objects without hitting them. Crash twice and it is game over. 10 levels to see how high you can rank on the online leaderboards.

The game moves forward automatically. All you have to do is avoid crashing into things on screen. If you crash 3 or more times then it is game over. Passing close to objects gives more points. Try to get as high a score as possible before the game ends. You can invert the up and down directions in the settings of the game.

Changes:

* minor update menu and leader board
* bug fix

Risky Rick (Commercial) (ColecoVision Game)

Rick Dangerous hits the ColecoVision, but using the name Risky Rick, possibly due to copyright reasons. Nevertheless ArcadeVision presents a very solid game on a ColecoVision standard cartridge. The game is a result of years of passionate work from developer Easter Egg, bringing fun and never-seen-before gameplay on this device. To achieve this goal only Assembler code has been used, getting the most out of everything, never seen before.

Risky Rick mixes Rick Dangerous I as well as Rick Dangerous II into one game, with the usual difficult to play platform fun. The game comes in three editions: Standard Edition, Adventurer Brown and Adventurer Green. The game should work flawless on any standard 50/60Hz ColecoVision.

Yet Another Pixel Dungeon v0.3.1-j (Android Game)

Yet Another Pixel Dungeon (or YetAnotherPD for short) by ConsideredHamster is a roguelike RPG with pixel graphics and simple controls. Like most other games in this genre, it features randomly generated levels, relatively high difficulty and a large number of things to learn. And like most other games of its genre, it is quite challenging.

This game is based on the source code of another Android game, Pixel Dungeon. It began as a small project with the goal to improve the original game here or there, but has since gradually grown into something much, much bigger. The games are quite different from each other, so there is no need to play the original game before trying this one.

YetAnotherPD is absolutely, totally and completely free. The only “ingame purchase” is basically the donate button!

Changes:

Version 0.3.1j fixed game crashes, adds shoplifting feature and tweaks game balance a bit. All details are available in the in-game changelog.
