That is really faithful! I appreciate how much care you put into getting the feel of those games down.

Much like those old LCD games...
I have no idea what the difference is between the two game modes.

I got 1600 points without getting hit... does it end at some point or does it go on forever? The sounds are just perfect for it!

@nintendoeats: game 2 starts off quicker and the planes are more likely to shoot and change lanes

@dietrich: nope, just a never ending arcade game

Really enjoyed this one, even if exploding planes can shoot at me :). Fantastic!

wow -- what a creative idea -- it would have been nice to save me the horror of pressing the buttons but i will let it pass because it was so cool -- great effort

Makes me want this as a handheld version! I like the mix of keyboard + virtual hardware buttons controls, and the grayscale LCD. Well done!

I did notice at one point in Game 2 I managed to get an exploding plane stuck at the far right bottom enemy slot. Not quite sure what specific action caused it other than shooting at point blank.

So glad to hear this style is welled liked, thanks for playing!

@metadept: I'd like to know what causes that too, just one of the smaller bugs that didn't get fixed, along with if you die while an enemy is changing lanes they'll get stuck there

Wonderful! Really captures the feel of those old games. The sound, the embedded graphics. Perfect! Not particularly challenging, but certainly a winner.

This is great! I demand an android/iOS port, and then I demand more games from you in this style. Get to work! ;D

Was there any sound? I clicked the sound button, but I couldn't hear anything.

I've never seen anyone do this before, and now I'm wondering why. It's genius!

@PaulSinnett: there should be sound effects, like moving and shooting, no musics though

Thanks for the feedback!

High score for me was 225! I thought this was very original, and pretty neat. I don't know if it was intentional, but the audio was coming from the rear channels. It was effective though as they made the game have a bit more aural depth.

Captures the look and feel of a Game&Watch game very well. Cool idea for this theme! Got 2640 Points in Mode 1 and I think I made the game crash in Mode 2 by shooting too much :-)

Very clever idea! Brings back memories of some of those kind of old hand held LCD games I had as a kid. Nice work.

Curious, still no sound for me. My Java must be misconfigured somehow. :(

Great! Just great! I brings back old times and hits the theme with a 100% punch! Nicely done"
I have a "Mario Bros" game&watch just holding in my hands and wonder where the corresponding batteries are hidden :D
Good job!

Cool game. The purpose of an old school experience is interesting, but a better interface could improve the quality. Congrats anyway! Keep making games!

#rafael: interface like the onscreen buttons? 'cause those didn't turn out too well as I ran out of time..

Wohoho, that's nostalgic! Game A is a bit boring and in game B dead planes sometimes stay in the place and You can't shoot through them. Anyway, I'm impressed :)
