Freeware Game Pick: Tobioriya (Ikiki)
As posted by Random Passersby (thanks!):
This isn't exactly new news, but since I just got back today and found out about it mere minutes ago, let's pretend it is and start praising the great god of indie gaming who somehow was able to restore faith in one of his most trustful servants. For you see, some random chap who goes by the name of ikiki on the interweb put together a nice 'n shiny website intended for showcasing all of his precious work here:
http://ikiki.sokushinbutsu.com/himoji/
It's a whole lot more sophisticated than his old "place where I'll dump all my games" kind of site over at Vector and additionally features several sweet artworks and even handmade gif animations, mostly starring the obligatory naked guy(s). Some of them are equally weird and disturbing, but others would make for excellent avatars I'd say.
Major point of interest though probably the fact that he's gone and finished two new games in the meantime:
-Curry Ki
Put curry in the best possible position in order to create the ultimate curry onigiri. (placement of curries must be a mirror image of their respective rice plates on the left side of the screen)
-Tobioriya
Save the lives of suicidal naked guys jumping off of the top of a building ikiki-style by using bow & arrow to hit them in midair and pin them to the wall. Yes. (The calculation of your final score is based on the number of hits, misses and accuracy percentage. Press the F2 function key to restart at any time.)
Comments
Those gifs are most enlightening.

Tobioriya is insanely awesome. Don't know how score works, but I probably suck.

And there I was, proud of getting a score of 41. You ruined it JW. You ruined it.

The score seems to work like this:
The first number says how many people you hit.
The second number is the accuracy-rate.
Third number says how many people hit the ground.
score=hits*accuracy-people on ground*3
In JW's example it is 33/100*71-12*3= -12,57 ~ -13

I love that game of his- what was it called? I think it was tyuukomen or something.

Haha, three comments between mine and Rolf Soldaats. Oh well.
But tim, I got 76 :|. Maybe you get one extra when taking down two with one shot?
Posted by: Kvalsternacka | April 7, 2008 6:08 PM
wow.
you're right though. perfect score is 76. :)

Best news post of all time. :D You're very welcome, Tim.
Myself I'm still struggling to score higher than about 50. Gets quite hard to hit those guys jumping out of the lowest window when time is running out and you try to pick them off as fast as possible. I do have an annoying tendency to screw up one of the very last shots because of this.
Major respect for reaching the highest possible score so quick.
