As promised here is the profile of one of the developers with the most unique style to all the game she makes. Although something weird happened, 2 days ago she announced she is moving her blog here. And I didn't notice, now I have updated my blogroll. Sorry about that. Her new site is called Auntie Pixelante, but the credits in her games still say Dessgeega.

Anna Anthropy is a freelance freeware game creator, and an associate editor of The Gamer's Quarter, a magazine about videogames sold both as ebook and as a hard copy, that is all I know since I haven't read it. Well, her new blog also says she is an all-purpose pervert. But I skipped that part. Also, she loves sub-domains, I think.

She has developed various games, even some with Knytt Stories' level editor, for that reason I will break down the list in various categories, just as she has done.

Games done in Game Maker:

Invader: This game is your basic shooter, you control a little octopus that can move freely all around the screen (you can't go through walls though, I meant you can fly) but can only shoot right and left. It is hard to get used to, but it does change the way you think while you play, plus it makes it feel like Megaman.

Mighty Jill Off: A great game in the style of Bombjack, you controll Jill who gets punished by the queen for reasons I won't spoil, since the illustrations are really worth a watch (done by James "harveyjames" Harvey), the music is great as well (done by Andrew "andonuts" Toups). Jill has to go up to the door from the dungeon by jumping and dodging enemies. I really recommend this game.

You Electronic Arms: A game reminiscent of Space Invaders, but a lot more fast paced, you can move only to 4 positions and you keep spining in an endless world. The main objective is to shoot off the Invaders before the reach the bottom of the screen, this time they don't move from side to side, just straight down. Although as the game gets harder, they start to move to the sides to dodge your bullets. You can shoot as many bullets as you want, not just one like in the original game.

Snake Heart Apple: A little 2-player variation of the old Snake game. Player one is the snake, moves using the arrows and has to catch the apple. Player two is the apple, moves using the mouse and has to avoid the snake. It is slightly over paced but a great two player time waster.

Kill Your Television: A very fun game where you, a dot in the middle of the screen, has to shoot off the TV that approach, you can't move and you can only shoot one bullet at a time. It is really adictive, seriously, specially with the ability to make combos.

Jaywalker: This little game is quite amusing. You control a head that walks around a crossroad, jumpling in front of cars so that they have to turn and crash. My highscore is 850 (points, not cars)

Games done in Klik And Play:

Here Comes The Judge: A game in the style of a danmaku shmup. You control a shaking guy (honestly) and a judge trows bullets at you. You control the guy using the mouse, you can only evade. Maybe I'm one of the only people who noticed that this game is a reference to the Wonderswan Color/Crystal shmup named Judgement Silversword (which is a great game, while we are at it), I love danmakus.

Spank Your Pussy: What? It's what the tittle reads, you have to spank your cat to prevent it from escaping the screen. What? WHat did you think it was?

Interactive Fiction:

Robot Gardening: This story was written in Graham Nelson's inform 7. I'm really bad at this. But it plays like a text based adeventure (duh).

Games With Knytt Stories' Level Editor:

The Oubliette: A great game by great music by Andrew "andonuts" Toups, the person who did the music for Mighty Jill Off.

Torchlight: A really difficult game mainly because you can hardly tell what is going on. However, I encourage anyone to play it, or at least download Knytt Stories and play through The Machine, great game.

Under The Crack: My favorite one out of the bunch, you play in green/black monocromatic style but it has a great feeling to it.

All her games can be downloaded through here or here.
