Freeware Game Pick: Glitch (Team Glitch)
Glitch is a first person shooter created by a group of DigiPen students, freely available for download from DigiPen's gallery page. Your given objective is to survive twenty-five waves of enemies whilst trapped inside a room with high ceilings and rising platforms.
Only one weapon can be in use at any time, and will remain in effect until ammunition runs out or when you collect another item. Rocket launchers, cannons, spread shots and claw guns are some of the basic equipment which you can gather, but the game does have a couple of unorthodox weapons such as the vacuum and column gun to acquire as well. Enemy locations can be spotted by looking for coloured spots on the ceiling.
There are a couple of faults to be found in Glitch. No checkpoint feature is included, so players would have to start playing from wave one every single time. Enemies also have a tendency to stay high above the air or teleport themselves far too frequently. (source: bigbossSNK)

It's a really cool voxel like effect but it seems the enemies/weapons are particles while the levels are polygon.
I really like the music. I wonder if they are using some sort of sequencing and modifying the patterns in real time or if they just have a bunch of tunes that they mix between.

sorta neet,. I like the poly 'room' warping around and all,. however the cheracters are hard to see being made from little bits of particles,. this is the bad design element that ruins it for me,. as they are actually tought to see most of the time,. it is too bad, as the behaviors and rest of the gameplay are quite good,. it is just to difficult the track them,. poly cheracters would have made this much better! IMnotso HO..,

Definitely a lot of fun but I can't seem to avoid the boss enemy in any way shape or form while playing. He's just a rolling ball of pure evil that constantly treks toward me relentlessly, and once I'm in his clutches there's no escape and BOOM. COMBO BROKEN. Mother fucker...
