SeizureDome is brilliant, just a note though. You can move using WASD, in my first two games I thought it was just a straight shooting exercise. So if you’re a bit slow like me, that might help.

And the babies with the Invulniballs are both awesome and tough.

Everyone should play this.

The fat sumos actually look like a mad Modron from Planescape with drumsticks for arms…

Shotgun Ninja- cooler than Laser Dolphin?

These games are cool. As one would expect from cactus.

Unfortunately though, Shotgun Ninja has the “slide off the edges of platforms, to your death, before you can jump” problem that so many indie platformers get wrong. In a game with so high a difficulty level, that’s kind of unforgivable…

Cactus is actually a time-traveller. In an alternate universe, he spent years on each of these games. Then, he came back in a time machine and gave them all to his younger self.

This is the only logical explanation for such greatness in such a short amount of time.

SeizureDome is the best minigame i ever played. Everything is cool from music to “characters”. It’s awesome.

and the giant diaper-clad babies with the invulniballs. Wow. I’m speechless.

I strongly advise against operating SeizureDome while under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs.
