I've been considering myself lucky if I manage to do one write up every morning, but today, I'll throw in a little bonus after discovering this little homebrew gem: Ego Orb in Space.
It's a space shooting game based on EarthBound (one of my all time favourite games.)
Admittedly, I was kinda hoping for an RPG but this is still fun. You control the Ego Orb, one of many strange baddies from EarthBound, flying around in space shooting at other bad guys from the EarthBound world.
It's a pretty straightforward side-scroller. Just keep shooting at everything that isn't you. There are a few power-ups: extra lives, bottle rockets and something that causes a flying saucer piloting Mr. Saturn to come to your aid.
Each level ends with a boss fight (I made it a point to save my bottle rockets for these) and then you're on to new terrain.
There's really not much else to say since this is a demo that only has two playable levels, but still, made my morning a little more interesting.
Ego Orb in Space is available as a free download here.
Also, thanks to Destructoid for bringing it to my attention.
