Via Locomalito:
If you fought the Bydo and shot the Bacterians in their core, you are ready to battle the evil god Hydorah. Choose the path to follow and fight planet by planet against hordes of meroptians. The game features lots of short and intense levels with fantasy spacial landscapes, unlockable weapons and secrets, and a large library of enemies and bosses. There is a single dificulty level, based on the 80′s standards. It can be very hard, but with every beaten level there will come the glory.
The whole game takes obvious influence from Gradius, Castlevania or R-Type, but also from other classics treated worse by the time: Turrican, Enforcer, Space Manbow, Hellfire, Guardian, Hydefos, Armalyte and many others…
Take the controls of your ship and prepare to die!

“Cube Colossus is about two people searching through a massive, cube-shaped fortress in search of a girl. As they travel, they encounter tougher and tougher defenses, all in an effort to keep them from penetrating to the core of the cube.”

Enigmata
Enigmata takes place on a wide screen as you travel vertically through the stage. There are achievements (of course), but unlike most games, these achievements actually count towards something. In this case, as you gain more achievements, you gain access to shops with better equipment.

Carpe Universum“Carpe Universum is an intense Shoot ‘em Up (SHMUP) game that features a music driven spawning system.”
“The aim of (this game) is to encourage very dynamic play where the player roams around the entire play field rather than just sticking to the bottom of the screen all the time.”
