2008 : Alien Deathmatch 2

Hard to believe it's actually only been 5 years since I did Alien Deathmatch 2. It sure feels like a heck of a lot longer, to me.
Since creating this game, I've switched to two new languages, owned half a dozen iOS devices, and written goodness knows how many games!
Heck, when it wrote this game, I hadn't even started AGameAWeek!!

It feels like a game from an entirely different era. And yet, it was only 5 short years ago. Hmm...
I guess I've been busy?!

Alien Deathmatch is a cracking little arena shooter. It's basically Geometry Wars' gameplay, mixed with the art style of Alien Breed, and sees you hunting for aliens, as they try to hunt for you!

It's a lovely little game, and is on my todo list of games to recreate. .. But that requires art skills, and that's been putting me off!!
Some day...
... Maybe!!
