Galixanar – like fish from space

Image
  We're diving back into the retro theme. It's 320x240 resolution. And the 64-color palette is from MS DOS. It's a game like Space Invaders or Galaga. The idea is simple: you move left and right and shoot. And it's all done in a certain style. And there are enemies above. You score points. There are several levels. At least one lane with enemies. There are 10 per lane.

Crossed Blades

  Dry ground. There are cracks in it that lead somewhere into the darkness. Such fissures. As if they were pieces of different stones. But this is dry ground. On a desolate edge. This is no longer a desert or a forest. This is the middle land. The parched earth tells us it's the hot season. There is almost no rain here. And there is almost no one here.

Musical success – a pile of notes and headphones

Image
  I continue to make music. A new year has arrived. My new cosmic cycle follows the phases of the sun. The Earth has revolved around the sun. And a new cycle. Music for me is magic. And it's practice and technique. You have to constantly practice. True, for now I'm still a sorcerer's apprentice. I'm just learning. And making progress. By my standards. This makes me very happy.

Till Wild - Find a Way (feat. Glitterwolf & Ultraboss) – hip '80s rock

Image
  A promising start to the song. So quiet. And the backing vocals. Why drag it out right away? Cool. So slick with effects. It sounds somehow unusual. The singer tells us and sings his story. A story about the '80s, about the hip '80s. Then comes a cool, driving rock chorus. With echo. Carrying deep into the room.

Straight Road – in the middle of the office day, we went to the sea, a virtual one!

Image
  Road and sun. What could be better? Probably only the road to the sea. At the end of the workweek. Early on Friday. But already in the afternoon. So there are other cars on the road. But not many yet. And the road to the sea is not wide. Just two lanes. Summer. Sun. And you have a great car. With a convertible. And you're driving to the sea. That was the idea when developing the game.

Alice in the Park – Alice Meets a Green Caterpillar

Image
  Alice walks along a wide path. And around her is a field. So vast. And it seems endless. Like an ocean or a sea. Yellow grass. And dry twigs. Rising up. These aren't grass anymore, but simply dry yellow or orange twigs. Brown. Reddish. Gray. Brown.

Caveblazers – a cave with chests and treasures

Image
  Here I found another very small game. I got it on sale on Steam. It's about caves. And it's a roguelike. Only this time it's from a side view. Like on an 8-bit Dendy console. And it also has pixel graphics. But this is on PC. It's on Steam. And the graphics are pixelated, retro. And quite nice and decent. Everything seems to be so bright here. Lots of sprites. Everything moves cool. A lot happens on the screen. A roguelike with dynamics.
