VampShift: The Bloodening

Sat, 16 Apr 2016 00:00:00 +0000

This was my entry to the Ludum Dare 35 compo, based on the theme “shapeshift.” It’s a short 2D platformer where you can turn into a bat to fly, but only for a short time without picking up extra blood. Some people have said it’s in the “masocore” genre.

Lawn-Mowing Robot

Sat, 28 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000

This is a PuzzleScript game about being a robot and mowing lawns. It has some peculiar logic to it, and gets progressively harder over the course of 8 levels.

Castle of Cowardice

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

This 48 hour competition entry is based on the theme “Cowardice”, and as such you have one simple goal: run from anything that resembles an enemy! If you can survive for long enough, the door to the next chamber will open and you can continue to flee for your life.

Invader from Space

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Invader from space was made for a 2 week “retro with a twist” competition in 2011. Differing from a certain other game, you are tasked with shooting down only a single invading alien, but that might be harder than it sounds.

Vector Space

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000

Made for a week long WGD competition with the theme “Dimension”, Vector space places you in a situation that will be all too familiar if you’ve played “Asteroids”, only this time there are 4 separate dimensions of them to deal with.
