GunBoat by Beerman
A game about guns.
And boats.
Action on the high seas as you battle the enemy boats. Why? Because they're there. (See, the plot is minimalist as well as the graphics. That's like irony or subtext or something!)
The main .jar build should work on anything with a recent JRE installed (http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp).
Controls :
Arrows move left and right.
Space or left CTRL to fire.
Android Controls :
Touch left/right edges to move. Touch both to fire

Nice job on the explosion and torpedo alarm graphics. It's cool that an alarm sounds when torpedos are coming but I wish there was something I could do about them? Some music would help set the mood. Nice job though!

Neat game. Hunting after the last few stragglers at the end of a level was a bit boring.

This was a lot of fun! Didn't run into any issues, the difficulty scaled pretty quickly (but not unbearable). Sound effects made a great impact in the gameplay.

Loved the art in this, very nostalgic. The higher levels were rough at the star with high unavoidable shots, then tedious near the end picking off stragglers. The beginning of them were the most fun parts, though, smashing through an ocean of ships.

Agree about the edges being a bit difficult to catch stragglers. Nice game though.

The layered water effect was very cool.

Nice little game. Love the way you handled the simple art style, pretty fun overall if a bit repetitive.

that was cool. I liked the graphic style a lot. Reminded me of the old DOS and amiga games. Gameplay gets a bit boring over the time so maybe add some upgrades to your gun or other stuff to enhance the experience would be a good idea. Anyway great game :)

Nice! This brought me back to youth - there was a game on the Colecovision that I loved and this reminded me of it in all the right ways :) Wish I could remember the name of the game, though... 'Submarine', maybe?
