17. Attack of the Meeplings

Joshua Smyth's Attack of the Meeplings is a vertical shooter consisting of three levels, playable using any Java-enabled browser. Gather blue orbs to increase your multiplier, which is added to your score whenever an enemy ship is destroyed.

The game loops infinitely, with a minor speed increase after every three stages. High scores are only recorded when playing at the normal difficulty setting.

"It was coming up to the end of summer break and I wanted to create a game that was the most simple game I could imagine which would still be fun. So Attack of the Meeplings was born. The game itself is an exercise in minimalism - Simple graphics, no power-ups and a mechanic where-in the game just gets faster and faster until you can no longer win (just like Tetris)." - Joshua

About The IGF

UBM TechWeb (producer of Game Developer magazine, Gamasutra.com, and the Game Developers Conference) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

The competition, now in its 13th year, awarded a total of nearly $50,000 in prizes to deserving indie creators in Main Competition and Student Competition categories at the IGF Awards Ceremony, held in March 2010 at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA, as one of the highlights of the Game Developers Conference.

The Independent Games Festival will return in March 2011 at GDC in San Francisco - look for more information soon. [More information...]
