Here is a really neat game that Dom showed me the other day. I felt it needed to be shown to the rest of you all!

The concept is simple; Find the grid location of the creature closing in on the center and click on it to get rid of him before he gets in. Each monster you defeat the higher your score. The monsters get faster and come in greater numbers as the game goes on.

Give it a try it's kind of fun!

Ah, neat little game!

My score's terrible tho. 33 after the 2nd try.

So, is the author a member of PGD? If not, has anyone told him/her that we exist?

I think that has yet to be done. [size=9px]*hint hint*[/size]

I do 'ok' at the game, but then I've always had fairly good spatial co-ordination. I think the trick is to stay calm though. Bunch up and you're a goner.

I am in contact with the author and he is well aware of PGD, though he does not visit here much.

Evil_Toaster isn't very active on the NAG forums either.

Hey Awesome! Thanks for posting the game up here.

I just uploaded a new version. Nothing major, but I added a nice lightning effect, an options menu and some music. You can grab it from the game.dev forum post referenced in WILL's post.

Yeah, I'm afraid I'm a bit of a lurker game developer at this point, having way too much to do and less time to do it in. One day when I get more time (ahaha) I'll be more communityish.

Yeah, if you get flustered for like, 1 millisecond, you die. I am looking at putting in different difficulty levels and other game modes, and might do some sort of mega kill everything bomb to help you recover if you get flustered for a moment.
