Hydorah, I like to leave you the Game of this Spanish Developer

[mentalthink]

Hi I like to leave you the link of this Game, it´s something like in 16 Bits, Pixel Art... But the game it´s simply aswesome it´s a "tipically" shotém up... but very very better... I think it´s better than another greats Shot`ém ups, not because the Developer it´s Spaninsh... it´s a very good Job...

At the beggins seems the same of all games, but this it´s like a Spacial Adventure...

I think I put the link some time ago... but this weekend I wath the complete Game Play form my friend Frank friky Yt in youtube (only it´s in Spanish), and looking the game... only I think... this it´s a simple beautiful Art...

The game it´s totally free.

locomalito kicks some hard asses, check their G & G work in progress, marvelous.
Hydorah is a piece of love.

Already got really far into it, but it has way many secrets scattered around, a true classic.

I love retro 2D shmups, so this is right up my street. Looks great. 

Very much in the vein of the classic Salamander, which is no bad thing IMHO.

If you are more on the lines of ´time pilot´ kind of mechanics on your shotemups, also check this new release:

Locomalito its a monster of developing games...

He uses Game Maker for his developments... I think its ideal platform for fast tests... but bad for "real" developments... 


Anyways, congratulations to Locomalito for his greats jobs! BRAVO!

Game Maker is actually quite capable in the right hands. You don't really have to use the GUI all that much if you know how the scripting works - and with that you can do anything.
...but unfortunately most people using it aren't very ambitious (imho).
