What differentiates Kicks from other classical soccer game?
• Wide customization of characters, choosing from a large variety of objects and skills.
• play in a real street or in a dangerous rooftop!
• Great Team Play (Multiplayer Mode from 3vs3 to 6vs6). As in real sport, you’ll be able to penetrate opponent’s defence with individual and team management skills.
• Wide choice of character’s role choosing between 3 different field’s zones: FW(attack), MF (middle field), DF (defence)
• Extreme connection with reality: you could experience tackle, centering, overhead shooting and individual skills which you could see in real soccer. As it’s name “kicks”, feeling of hitting ball will provide thrills that you have felt nowhere.

Origamihero.com tells the tale of a hobby game developer on his quest to make freeware games. (Not an easy journey, mind you.) And since nobody I personally know is actually interested in stuff like this, I thought I'd post about it on the internet!

 
"Fraxy, a sort of Warning Forever style giant boss rush game where you can design your own bosses and share them with your friends. Your ship has up to five weapons you can upgrade individually after each boss (select them from outside the game with the configuration program), and you can also upgrade your energy regeneration or max energy. Enemy projectiles just lower your energy (as long as you have enough left, otherwise you die), while crashing into a boss is instant death. Fun thing: It has 'stun' weapons that paralyze whatever part of the enemy you hit for a bit, good for shutting down that one nasty cannon or an opponent's movements if you can hit all of its thrusters. You can fight more than one boss at once if you want, even. Finally, it has a sort of 'mission mode' where you can navigate mazes, fight scripted sets of bosses, or whatever. You can make your own missions, too.
 
Oh. To play, download those two zip files. Unzip the first one, then unzip fraxy_em_eng_20070526.zip into the 'enemy' directory... it has directions in english if you forget. "

"Iya Bomb is a strange SHMUP. The character’s laser shot (Z key) must be directed through a crosshair, which is moved by holding the X key; obviously, while using the crosshair you can’t move the character. You can also lock on a single target and, by not pressing Z for a while, charge a stream of laser shots. It takes a little while to get into the game, and it’s very fun: unfortunately, there are just two levels."

The missions vary: Kill all beasts, kill no beasts, find the Holy Grail or find the Ark of the Covenant, pick a certain number of diamonds, mushrooms, flowers, strawgoats or eggs, etc. The mazes are populated with a number of more or less smart critters such as: Commie Dogs and Capitalist Dogs, The One Who Sees, Blocker Frogs, Monobites, the deadly The One Who Hears and many more. You will have to be a real Theseus, study the monster's behaviour in order to outsmart them and survive.
