Stack Saver
The game plays like a 3D version of Space Invaders, which means it is a very good thing: great gameplay cloaked in a simple concept. The unique perspective and nonstop action are expertly combined with a very intuitive interface. Similar to Robotron and other classic arcade games, Stack Saver is easy to learn, offering smooth controls and interface with frantic action. Moving the square-with-detached-gun 'thing' that you control takes some getting used to, but becomes second nature once you get used to the mouse-driven controls. The only two quibbles I have are the lack of high-score table, and 'rotate' option that would make the action easier to follow. If you are looking for a fun and unique take on Robotron, Tempest, and similar "abstract" action games, check out this excellent and addictive underdog from CaptainVeg, one of our forum regulars who managed to code a cool game in only 6 weeks :) Two thumbs up, way up!
