The download is small so it works this time.</p> <p>Space Barnacles is a very retro platformer/shooter posted on the igf. It's designed to be like an old nes game with low resolution and limited graphics.</p> <p>------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Vortex</p> <p><em>Vortex is a 3D puzzle racing game that requires the player to navigate through a 360 degree rotating track. The fast-paced gameplay is deceptively simple: do not fall.</em></p> <p>Download (1.1 MB):<br /> <a href="http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/gamebuilders/projects/vortex/" rel="nofollow">http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/gamebuilders/projects/vortex/</a></p> <p>------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Space Barnacle</p> <p><em>Originally created for the The Independent Gaming Source B-Game Design Contest, Space Barnacle is an homage to the classic 8-bit games of yore.</p> <p>Hunt for the technology required to obliterate your enemies and avenge your father.
