Today I will be offering 4 little Indie games all with different genres. The first game was inspired by our very own Whiterabbit...Constellation Chaos is reminiscent of Asteroids but is different. The object of the game is to form constellations by shooting stars. The next game is called Super Cockpit Football Fighters. SCFF is a ragdoll game centered around soccer/football. The next game is called Sword Calibre. Sword Calibre is a platformer with asian undertones. The last game is called Gabaaba. Gabaaba I'm not sure how to classify Gabaaba...You'll have to play it yourself to determine what you think it should be.
Constellation Chaos
Constellation Chaos is a challenging arcade game with a simple concept: You destroy enemies and gain points by creating constellation trails. Using Z and X keys, (Or left and right mouse clicks) players control the trajectory of a small white astronaut by tilting it's aim cursor left or right. Releasing either key will shoot your astronaut into empty space until he hits a star. There's a bit of a strategic element to this game, as players have to rely on their timing, and their creativity, to create the best constellation trail possible. Right and left arrow keys can now control your cursor.
Constellation Chaos is extremely hard. As soon as you connect with your first star, you will be bombarded with asteroids and shooting enemies. Study the map before you make your first shot...just some advice.

Super Cockpit Football Fighters
Do you like soccer, then try Super Cockpit Football fighters. Do you not like soccer, then play Super Cockpit Football fighters. An entry in the TIGSource Cockpit competition, Genericuser's physics-based soccer, or football game, is really fun to play. Although the controls are mapped in such a way that one player can play as both sides, this game is a 2 player must. You simply cannot get the same experience (Hitting your friend in the face, so he doesn't win) playing by yourself, so grab a buddy, and play Super Cockpit Football Fighters. (Did I repeat the title enough?)
This is a fun little game that looks like it would be a blast if you had someone to play with. If you've got kids or grandkids, give this game a go.

Sword Calibre
Sword Calibre is an awesome retro action platformer from Thernz, where you slash, wall kick, and even hadouken your way through countless enemies, and saving people from your town. This game is hard. Even when you are walking, you have to beware of hidden spike traps, as well as the one of the baddies that shoot 3 huge blasts from themselves. Don't even get me started on the final boss! The graphics are fantastic, whether it be on the enemies and characters, or on the stages themselves. The music is just what you would expect, good old fashioned chiptune. For being made in 5-6 hours, this game is simply a blast to play.
A: Jump
A, A: Air Dash
A near Wall: Wall Kick
S: Slash
Up+S: Hadouken

Gabaaba
Gabaaba, is the title of Cactus, Heather Kelley, and Petri Purho's Nordic game jam submission. One player controls the tank, and the other controls a helicopter. All of the enemies need to be destroyed in each wave to advance. Some enemies can only be killed by either the tank or the helicopter. This game is rather fun to play with a friend, but the controls are handled in such a way so that one player can play the entire game, without the need of a second person. The graphics and blur effects are awesome, and the gameplay is pretty neat, so try this one out.
This is a rather stylish pretty game that really needs to be played to appreciate.
