I am pleased to announce that the Horizontal Shooter with BOSS Competition results are in!! A carefully designed competition site has been created which features all the games with screenshots, reviews, and downloads, as every game has been rated, reviewed, and organized from greatest to worst! The competition was 3 months long, there are a lot of great games, but only one is the best!

If you go to http://www.shmup-dev.com/hcontest you’ll be able to view every game, along with reviews from three different judges which ultimately lead to a score. There are lots of great game themes from fantasy, to space, to cartoon, and more!!

Thanks for the heads up Matt!

I just downloaded the winning effort and it's quite nice indeed (as far as I can tell after a few minutes of playing) especially if you are into R-type like games. Shame it's not full screen though. Or am I missing something here?

Anyway gonna give some other entries a try too later.

edit: just found out you had to make a simple change in the Engine.cfg file to get full screen. Makes the game look so much better.

The first one ("Prototype") is cool (haven't tried the others)! Very good quality for a homebrew.

I liked prototype alot. I just wish the ship didn't have momentum.
