Two new demos to mention today (largely because I forgot to post one of them when it was released). The first of them is a beta of Benjamin's vertical shooter (or 'shmup', if you really have to) Havoc Zone. He's been spriting for about a decade, and it really shows. The download store page is all in Japanese and I can't read it, but it's worth overcoming that obstacle to take a look.

Comments from the Author: Current Beta of my Vertical Shoot em Up Havoc Zone... Blazing fast 60 frames per second, 13 Enemies, 6 weapon systems, chain-system, Ingame Help, completely original graphics and Music.

The second of them is SpaceBar, which is a hand-eye-coordination puzzleish Kuru Kuru Kuru Kuru Kuru Kururin-type game by SoftwareWolf. The demo features a few levels and a demonstration of the editor. In a fairly unique marketing model, you can either pay $15 to unlock the full game, or pay for it by making a decent game yourself.

Comments from the Author: The hardest game you will ever play, you control a rotating stick with your mouse pointer(SpaceBar) and have to survive trough challenging levels before your energy bar runs out. There is no luck involved, there are no chances. Its all up to your motion and concentration.
