ZunderFury
ZunderFury is a nicely done arena shooter written in Flash. It’s refreshing in a few different ways. The cartoon style that Flash lends itself to is rarely seen in this type of game, and works quite well. Another thing that struck me was the enemy designs. There are some crafty little fiends to deal with, and their various behaviours play off the 2 ships you can choose to play with.
According to the developer, Le Ha Nguyen, “I wanted to see if a Flash arena shmup with clean gameplay and tons of enemies could be done.” The game goes a long way to prove this, as it’s very smooth (it looks much better in motion than the screen shots convey). I can’t think of a more ubiquitous platform as well if you want to reach the most people. The Doogog blog looks to be an emerging resource for Flash game development.
Checkout Le Ha‘s other game, OrbBlaster, too. It’s got an Every Extend type chaining system going.
