Heroes on Wings of Steel and Fire by mattperrin
You are the last hope for the united core worlds against the insidious Sectai horde. Fly the latest prototype fighters against a brutal (and possibly endless) swarm of Sectai ships. WASD to move your ship, press slash to fire primary weapons, and right Shift to fire Specials.
The name's a homage to the crazy Japanese shmups of the 90s.
Also, (as part of the Connected Worlds theme) it was originally going to be an online coop multiplayer game but the server was having a fit managing all the entities. I re-purposed the theme into players having to choose their combination of weapons from the best of the core world's united R&D. Every time a player dies, the technology they were using is lost... :)

That said, game worked well, i liked the idea of choosing from the remaining ships/weapons when losing a life. One weapon seemed like it didn't do any damage (The wave that gets bigger with time).
Good job !
The MMO version of this sounds like it would have been really cool! No problems with the controls for me; unorthodox, but not hard to use.
Nitpicks:
- Text before ship selection scrolls too fast for me to read, and doesn't stop moving at the end. On top of that, the background doesn't make for easy reading.
- '/' for fire, not '?'!
