Welcome to the2bears
What can you find here? You can find my games and read about their development (click the images on the left).
I also write a lot about indie shooters, mobile games, and just about any game with a unique style. I also write about devices, especially ones that can connect to networks in some way. In fact, I really love connecting devices to networks.
There's even a little about connecting devices to networks to play games, which I have done a lot of. Mostly, though, you will find lots of links to games. Some are good, some are great, and some are downright bad. That's the fun of exploring. You can also find out more About Me.

Gigantic Army
Astro Port have a 2-level demo of Gigantic Army available now. It’s really quite good, though a little easy. I’m glad to see their style go back to the grittier look of their older games. Except for the mecha presence, I have expect to see the Tyrell Corporation building rise up in the background. Love the colours, love the parallax.
Game play is standard run ‘n gun, move, jump, and shoot. Your primary weapon fires based on aiming with the movement keys, but can be locked in one direction by holding the fire button down. You can hold down the jump button for an extra boost, you can dash by double-tapping the arrows, plus you have a shield and a secondary weapon.
The download link is a Vector download, and it seems they’re constantly changing the process. Find the green “Go to the Download Page” button near the bottom of the page, and press it 2-3 times. It’ll eventually change to a green “Download Now” button, and then you’re set.

Jamestown
Jamestown is a great looking vertical that is going to support 4-player co-op. Great premise, too, Colonial British on Mars. Hopefully a playable soon?
Akai Katana
Cave‘s Akai Katana is undergoing location testing at the moment. I really like the looks of this. Reminds me a lot of Progear, and others are mentioning Ketsui influences as well (though I’ve only played Ketsui Death Label).

Giga War
X-Out‘s latest, officially titled Giga War, is coming along. The route through the first level has been defined and X-Out put up a video of the fly through. Very impressive. I’m getting a good feeling here, a mix of Einhänder and R-Type Delta.

Hydorah
Hydorah has finally been released. A very impressive Gradius style horizontal by Locomalito. I haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but there are positive impressions over at the Shmups forums.
