Rightwaves, my tribute to R-Type, is coming on nicely.
It's a sideways-scrolling shoot-em up with pixel graphics and pixel-perfect collision detection.
It's somewhat playable at the moment, but I tend to mess about with start positions from time to time.
Recent features include a diagonal lasers upgrade, and alien guns stuck to the top and bottom of the scenery.
In order to fix a bug recently, I introduced a secret "action replay" mode, which I hope to turn into a real feature in future releases. For now, pressing Z toggles a freeze-frame modes which you can navigate using the left and right arrow keys.
Still to do: the rest of the level (including the famous red tailed alien at the end), and game mechanics like lives and restarts.

The Smolpxl games count how many times each game is played. (Anonymously, of course.)
I run a Grafana instance that illustrates how popular different games are. The graph shows plays per day for various games.
My main conclusion so far is that not many people are playing games on Smolpxl!
Other than that, I think I see that Spring is the most popular game, and cross-the-road has a consistent following.
Let's work together to write more and better games, and attract more people!
Navigate an accelerating ship through shrinking tunnels!
Designed for a smooth framerate and high-precision collision detection, Tunnel is a satisfying Angry Birds-style survival game.
