Squadron by project_scientist
Squadron is an homage to the classic aerial scroll-shooters with a twist - you control a growing squadron of fighters instead of just one. Gameplay emphasizes large scale battles with many casualties on both sides - you must use the fleet formation mechanic to survive.

I couldn't grasp the proper concept of the game, and the controls are a bit complex for a shmup-like game. Having the formations a bit more closer to other keyboard controls could make it less complicated. :)
