Here is a souvenir from my travels through the colourful land of Indie, found it in the house of Locomalito
They came from Verminest
50's Sci-Fi and Arcade gameplay now together in 3D!A ferocious insect army from planet Verminest is spreading through the space. Defend your planet and fight back them until you finally reach the nest of Queen Verminia.
They came from Verminest is 100% oldschool, based in early arcades like Galaga or Centipede, but also in Sci-Fi movies from the 50's like Them!, The Deadly Mantis, Black Scorpion, Tarantula or my favourite: Godzilla!
Crazy maneuvers are rewarded: kill enemies in a short-range to get medals, kill leaders to scare enemies an get more medals. You’ll get a bonus every 10 medals!
Clever gameplay, grayscale color palette, FM music fanfares and sound effects will take you back to the never-existent Arcade era of the 50’s, where fun was the only thing!
I've always wanted to make a Galaga like game (even if it's unmatched!). In October 2011 I played again the original Galaga cab game and decided to go for it, adding some ideas I had in mind… this is the result of it :-)

When closing the game, my puter got a hiccup, suddenly there were 5 games running.
That may be my old machine.
