Pixel's ガスト "Guxt"
Pixel, the genius and minimalist Japanese programmer, independant game creator, and my personal hero, just recently released his latest game for the PC. It is a minimal top-down shmup in typical Pixel style--a few pixels wide, a few more pixels high, and of few colors. Original BGM and simplistic yet masterfully refined gameplay fuel Guxt's five levels.
It takes less than a minute to download and run. Treat yourself, you deserve it.

That game is amazing!!!! O.O
That's a good word for it.
Actually, I think that word don't cover what this game means. Thanks Necro!!! now I can die happyOriginally Posted by Necronopticous
Oh man, this is awesome news.
However, I would really like to use my gamepad with this and it doesn't seem to be recognising it, which is strange because Cave Story worked with it just fine.
Am I missing anything in Japanese here or am I going to have to find some kind of 'Joy to Key' program?
Word/s.
Apparently it does support gamepads, although I couldn't get mine to work either. The game plays fine with the keypad, though. It's no bullet-hell shmup, so you don't really need the intricate movements of a joypad or stick.
My top Score Attack score is 16650, can anyone top that? (Replay)
Awesome, another Pixel game! Definitely going to download this.
My god, if this isn't hard as nails.
I mean, I had as much trouble with the first level as I did with the entirety of Hell.
That said, I'm realling digging the limited palette style of art and it's all really well done.
I'm still yet to get past level 3, so I'll have to see about high scores when I get that far.
EDIT: The game over screen music makes up for the fact that I see it so much.
Word/s.
Yeah, you've got to beat it once before you unlock Score Attack.
Some helpful advice, in case you were unaware: after you take out a boss, shoot the sockets where the eyes were for shield powerups.
Maybe my computer isn't running it right or something, because I'm not enjoying this game at all.
It's hard to get into if you don't like pleasure.
Or boredom. It's too slow.
Its a pretty average shmup to be honest. I applaud the people who spend the time to make these games but for someone looking for a good shmup on the internet they might as well just emulate some of the superior console shmups.
I got something like 7000 first try when I played this last night. I hate using keyboards with shmups.
What the smurf? I agree with Roto, this is boring.
Clearly you're all doing it wrong.
Now it's in no way a genre I'm too familar with, but I honestly havn't enjoyed a shooter this much since Fantasy Zone.
Each to his own I guess.
Also I caved in and downloaded JoytoKey. It's roughly a million times better than my laptop keyboard.
Word/s.
