UNSUITABLE FOR EPILEPSY SUFFERERS/PHOTOSENSITIVE PEOPLE. Arcade shooter.

Help your native planet, BRAINLOVE, survive numerous waves of enemy attack. Enemies shoot you, fly into you, and even hurt your eyeballs to try to take you down. Still, a planet and blindness is better than no planet, right?

The psychedelic sequel to a psychedelic swing-em-up! You play as a virus (not a real one, don’t worry) who must fend off antiviruses with a cluster of orbiting trojans. Plenty of improvements all around. Two more enemies, raising the total to six, and the game progresses quicker so more people will see them. As you progress, the game’s tint changes colour, from white to black to maroon to navy blue and ending on a weird mess of colours. I also learnt a new item for the game – writing with a font made from a sprite.

Everyone thought FKR2 was better

Bizarre game that most will see as eye candy, but is actually a not-bad arcade bullet-hell shooter. An enemy floats around shooting in as many directions as the wave number. You use your stream of bullets to take his down while killing him and protecting yourself. Kill the enemy and he becomes stronger (and you get more points). Keep going until you run out of health, which is shown in large for a second or so when you get shot. Points at top. Controls shown in-game. And, of course, all displayed in lovely sprays of colour (where it gets its name - the hue of all the in-game stuff is constantly changing).

The sequel to FKR is here! It’s now more psychedelic, more skilfully made and hopefully less boring than before. Use W, S and Enter to navigate menus, see the help file for more information. Play on BOSSFKR difficulty to get the most out of it!

“Play it to dance to the music, be inspired by the artwork, and to wake yourself up in the morning. You probably won't spend more than a few minutes with it, but I don't think the creator intended you to.” - Mocha Man
“Wow, this game is interesting in a very good way. The music was absolutely amazing!!! I kinda didn't get it at first but you kinda gotta get used to it.” - Davdud101

Enter the colourful world of Rainbow Planet, where saturated explosions are commonplace. Survive as long as you can and avoid enemy fire!

If you want an idea of this game’s age: I made a custom skin for my Bebo page to promote this game. (I wish I still had record of it.)
