I have written a shoot 'em up in Blitz 3D for the shmup-dev Autofire 2007 competition.



The game is about flying upwards in a tunnel and shooting enemies to collect as many points as possible. Red-cross symbols indicate health bonusses, these can be collected by flying into them. There's also a guy standing next to a Dutch flag about every kilometer who will throw an upgrade object into the air when you fly close to him. (The distance covered is shown in the bottom-left corner.) The upgrades have to be collected to keep up with the increasing numbers of enemies. Losing a ship means losing an upgrade.

Controls: arrow keys to move, space bar (or Z or Ctrl) to fire, and M to toggle music on/off. (Auto-fire is always on so you can keep the fire button down to shoot.)
