criticalmass, aka critter, is a shoot-'em-up in the style of Galaxian with very colorful and smooth graphics (provided that you have 3d acceleration)

Note: criticalmass uses OpenGL, and will probably not run well if you do not have a 3d accelerator which is supported by X.

Excellent Bifurcation is a vertical shooter in which you have two sides available to play on. Its graphics try to mimic the colours, sounds and feeling of the 8-bit games.

In the game, you drive two ships at the same time, on two sides of the screen. The game play is very unique and fun. It might be quite a brain bender anyway.

Excellent Bifurcation was Linley Henzel's entry in the AutoFire 2007 Shooter Competition, and finished in 2nd place.

You must clear a spaceship from all droids. To achieve this your device will need to take control of more powerful droids, more able to confront the most powerful ones. But you'll also need to manage your energy, as you won't be able to control any droid for an indefinite time, and even your own device has a limited lifetime.

Note that this package is different from the freedroidrpg game, developed by the same team, and also available in Debian.

Mu-cade is another shoot-em-up game by Kenta Cho. In this game Kenta has introduced physics into his formula of hardcore shooting games. Similar in some ways to Asteroids and Nibbles, the playing area is a rectangular arena in which vessel-snakes have only one idea at the head: expelling the others into the vacuum. You incarnate one of them, and you'll quickly realize the subtlety of the goal: your tail lengthens as you destroy your enemies.

Overgod is an arcade game with bi-directional scrolling where you need to destroy all enemies in an area in a given time. The game is a mix of the classic arcade games Asteroids and Thrust with a lot of additional features.

Overgod can also be played in two-player duel or cooperative modes, or in a special "Time Attack" version where enemies endlessly appear.

This is an updated version of the 1980's game developed by David L. Clark of BMB Compuscience Canada. It has been adapted to run under *nix using the SDL toolkit. Poor graphics, stupid AI, and horrible sound await you. The gameplay is simple, addictive, and fun. A `side-scroller', you pilot your biplane across a static field, destroying enemy encampments and planes.

tenmado is a vertically scrolling, late 1990s style (that is, a massive number of enemy shots against a smaller-than-it-looks spaceship) shoot 'em up game. A very accurate collision detection makes it a game of dexterity. If something looks like a triangle, it is a triangle, not a rectangle of similar size.

However, surviving is only 20% of the game. The main feature of tenmado is the "color chain bonus". You can get a very big score (about 100 times bigger than a normal enemy-destruction point) by destroying enemies of the same color successively. It is easy or difficult depending on how greedy you are.

Titanion is an abstract shooter game. While you fire with one button, the other one acts as a tractor ray to attract the enemies and take them to the combat line. The game in itself is quite simple, but with such graphics and playability that it's worth a try.

Transcend can best be described as retro-style, abstract 2-D shooter. The graphics are geometrical, and the pace is sometimes frenzied.

Two features set Transcend apart from other games. First, its dynamic graphical engine, which can smoothly morph from one complex shape to another, produces striking displays. Combining these dynamic shapes with subtle randomizations makes each play through a Transcend level visually different from the last. The second novel feature is Transcend's musical power-up system. As you play through a level, you are simultaneously assembling an abstract visual collage and arranging a unique piece of music. Transcend merges video games with pure art---it can be viewed either as a game or as a multimedia sculpture.

Tumiki Fighters brings a different twist to the side-scrolling shooter genre. With simple 3D graphics, the player has to control a ship and shoot down the enemies. The player can swoop in and attach the wreckage to its own hull for bonus points and protection from enemy attacks. .

Tumiki Fighters is another gem among many by Kenta Cho.

Val & Rick is probably the precursor to Gunroar, featuring similar controls but in a different environment. Only 2D sprites and backgrounds are used in what seems like a tribute to Xevious and Star Soldier.

You control a space ship in a vertically scrolling window and shoot enemies. If you kill the boss enemy which appears at the end of each stage, or if you can survive till the boss enemy gets bored with you and escapes, you can go to the next stage.

xsoldier has a unique feature --- the "not shooting" bonus. You can get a pretty good score by not pressing the shoot button. After all, if the game is a simple kill-everything and shooting is always a good thing, why do you have to press a shoot button? You can play xsoldier as a simple kill-everything (and it is the best way to survive), but if you care your score, you need to kill all enemies with a minimum number of bullets.

Barrage is a rather destructive action game that puts you on a shooting range with the objective to hit as many dummy targets as possible within 3 minutes. You control a gun which may either fire small or large grenades at dummy soldiers, jeeps and tanks. The gameplay is simple but it is not that easy to get high scores.

Gravity Wars is inspired by Gravity Force, one of the greatest games for the Amiga. This version is a little different, with a much higher resolution, and better graphics.

The aim of the game is to guide a spaceship using only thrust and orientation to the exit, fighting against gravity and inertia. It includes some new features like water, exploding doors, bonus objects, fans (ie. wind), and some other special effects like exploding bullets and splashing water.

Gravity Wars is no longer maintained upstream and this Debian package should be considered the current upstream version.

Super Transball 2 is a game which was inspired by ZARA THRUSTA for the Amiga 500. In each level the goal is to find the SPHERE, to capture it and to carry it to the upper part of the level. The main challenge is the gravity that attracts your ship which makes it inevitable to control the ship's thrust. Many other obstacles like cannons, tanks, doors or lasers will also try to make your journey difficult and don't be wasteful with your thrusters and weapons or you will run out of fuel in no time.
