And so NeoFlash's Spring Coding Competition 2007 begins. We believe that you are all excited about this event as it's sure to provide all of us a helluva lot of quality homebrew games. For our first stop, we take a look at Space Escape.

Basically, the aim of this space shooter homebrew game is for players to survive as long as they can in a dangerous asteroid field. As the name of the game suggests, there are no real enemies here except for the asteroids themselves. Your ship is equipped with three different kinds of laser that can be activated depending on your level.

The game also has a system of power-ups which allows you to refill the charge of either your shield or your fire power. There's another power-up that adds a multiplier to your points, if you're the type of player who is concerned with scoring high in games. As for graphics and interface, we are hands down. We have to say, Space Escape is a strong contender.

Anyway, the controls for the game, alongside other pertinent game details, can be found inside the readme file so be sure to browse through that carefully. But to give you guys a head start, here's a video clip showing Space Escape in all its glorious beauty.

Space Escape was mainly created by homebrew developers Grimfate126 and InsertWittyName. The music was provided by Abhoth.

 » Very well done.

While it doesn't compare to something like No Gravity, it's still obviously well made and looks fun.

Nice job but the controls need tightening up, also add upgrades and stuff.

Keep it up!

Wow, this is actually really good. Although it does seem to get easier after a point... When you're going so fast that you hardly get damaged and the pickups come so fast you never get low on anything.

Woo! Second highest score!
