omg :D Extreme Violence! That was such an amazing game – spent hours hunkered over my friends amiga! bouncy bullets and the oh so triumphant all-the-way-across-map flukey kill!

HAha, had a lot of fun with this one today. Many small fun games come out of the Scene, like last years’ Sumitori Dreams :)

Extreme Violence sucked up hours of my 8-year old life and I love it dearly. The gun with the bouncy doughnut things? Champion, every time.

This game is also awesome, even down to the bizarrely addictive 16-bit music that just drives you on. Cheers big ears!

This is a very important game! And what’s more fun than playing with yourself? ;-)

Aw. I appreciated the fact there was no lives. The ‘if at first you don’t succeed, try try try again’ mechanic made the game more fun than if I had to retry levels due to sucking.

Oh, man. The only thing more fun that shooting robots is shooting robots along with your past selves. What surprised me was that I got a really strong sense of cooperation, here; since the “landscape” of the level changes as robots get destroyed sooner and bullets hit other things, I found myself working with my past selves to try and score AOEs. It’s a great way of handling the “subpar-AI” issue, because, well, I know what I’m doing.

likely a consideration not to step on the toes of Rob Schrab’s ROBOT BASTARD

Holy crap I had forgotten the name of that game so bad I resorted to typing “game a bit like smash tv amiga” into google. Thanks!

More enemies and levels please. Mechanics that require multiple-play-coordination like that japanese 50-cursor thing would be really interesting to see in a shmup environment.

Also, bonus points for having 40 of you on the screen with no corpses. It’s fun to kill and save yourself.
