Timewave

Timewave is a 2-d space shooter written in C++ using some of the freely available SDL libraries. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX (10.4 or later). The object of this game is to fight through the mass of enemies in each level, defeat the level boss, and finally destroy the (well-armed) enemy space station far from Earth.

It has an interesting "twist" in which you can alter the flow of time. Build up your time meter by playing the game in fast-forward. Playing in slow motion affords you some extra maneuvering room but depletes the meter. If you achieve a high score, you can choose a color flag to represent your ship and have yourself recorded on the high score table.

This game is 'freeware' - you can download it and copy it around to anyone you like, you can even alter the graphics to better suit your tastes if you wish, but don't pull my name off it and try to pass it off as your own work. You can't get the source code though because it's a total wreck. I may go and try cleaning it up later for a release, but until then, the binaries in the download should work just fine.
