Made in an hour. Simple shooter where two chains release a series of nodes. You can’t crash into them, but you can shoot them to kill them.
The game’s not all that fun, and past the 300-point mark will probably start to lag a bit cuz of all the bad coding, but screw it. Thought I’d share it anyway!

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).

Difficult game! Don’t complain too much because it’s too difficult – that’s on purpose!
After creating NAL’s Jet Pod, I had an urge to create a similar game, but much harder. This is it. 16 levels, in a glorious two-colour palette, in which you play a bird who must flap his way out, avoiding the walls.
Gameplay is inspired by Messhof’s excellent “Flywrench”.

“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

You are a sphere in the Mingitilla Arena. Enemies constantly float up from underneath, attach themselves to you and try to attack.
Shoot them! Live as long as you can.
Please note: the Original version of the game is not recommended for people with photosensitivity due to my baffling 2008 decision to make the main menu flash intensely. The NAL Is Alive version (as well as being high resolution anyway) is far friendlier.

“Hahahaha” - Bugaham Games
Fustercluck (a spoonerism of a nice little word, also the name of the track used in the game) is an arcade game released towards the end of 2007 that was my first proper foray into GameMaker Language over Drag ‘n’ Drop. Maybe 50% of the game was written in code rather than done with D&D.
The game features an “overheat” mechanic on the on-rails gun, colour generation, custom highscore saving, and actually quite a few concepts that were new to this game and featured prominently in my future ones.

This is a long, brain teasing game featuring 26 levels. Each level starts with a platforming section then ends with a riddle you will need to solve to continue. To solve them, you’ll need your brain and probably Google by your side.
The game also features a storyline with some fairly crudely done cutscenes, along with a map of Puzzle Valley and the surrounding island.
