Too bad Swarm is a total rip off of this: http://www.lexaloffle.com/swarm.php

Aren't you glad there's two games in the swarm racing category now?
Would you rather I'd rip-off cave story? Would that be more okay?
Swarm Racer is great, it has a fantastic concept and I'm exploring
that game mechanic. IMHO Swarm is very different.

miles, it's a student competition.

Well then Kian, I look forward to seeing what you do do improve upon the swarm racing category.

Isn't not exactly easy to try these...
Teddy Race failed to render the in-game graphics - oh well probably my computer.
Boingo can ONLY be played with an Xbox 360 controller... what?!
Ether appears to be a Half-Life 2 modification, so it requires the original game and Steam.
At least I tried!

Boingo needs an Xbox 360 controller? Bummer! I really wanted to try it out. Can it work with a different USB controller?

Only Xbox 360 controllers will work.

So many games requiring X360 controller and so much talk about XBLA being a total failure...

Doesn't make the controller shit.

i tried "megachile pluto" and it's got awesome graphics but horrible controls! but i realize the developers are currently taking care of that. anway, does anyone know if the games available for download in the SGA site are full versions? i can't tell otherwise because i don't see any Buy button. if the games are just early/demo versions, are there going to be full versions?
p.s. i wanted to try out boingo too, but i have no x360 controller. =(

Heh, I don't think swarm racing is a type of game people are clamoring for. Besides, it's bound to amuse somebody that there are two games called Swarm and Swarm Racer, and they are both about racing and swarms. Since they're on different platforms, people would assume it's a port, since they're so similar in title, concept, and appearance. So yeah, maybe next time make a game called Save Ctory about robots shooting the wildlife on an island of bunny people.
