    Was easy and fun. Little too easy though. Beat it on my first try with the first space ship thingy without breaking a sweat.

    And once you get the bubble tank or the second best one all you have to do is spin around in circles while firing and you can win. And the last boss has got to be a joke. I just stood there firing at it. Didn't even have to move around. But whatever, it was still a decent game.

    Hm, I thought it was pretty easy if you use the guy with the spikes that shoot out on all sides (either the 2k or the 5k I think). Just shoot one thing and then run after pixels for the rest of the time.

    I have a harder game that is a lot of fun I'll post up later when I figure out the name of it. Its a stand alone game you can download.

    Something like carnage or Armageddon. Its HARD you cant beat it but you try to survive as long as possible.

    edit: took a while but I figured out what it was called.

    Crimsonland

    http://www.crimsonland.com/?menu=downloads

    Try to beat that one :D

    Oh here is my first run in the game with the default guy:

    I had the music off I was at work, despite getting interrupted 2x while playing I still have the highest score posted for the first play through :D

    This game plays pretty well with my wacom tablet.

    So did anybody try out that game I linked yet? Crimsonland? Its similar IMO but way harder and more variety.
