Melbius

Arma Eater is hands-down one of my favorite artists, so finding this game on his site was a nice surprise, and I will eagerly and unabashedly take this opportunity to introduce you to his artwork. Melbius, which is on the front page of his website, is a horizontal-scrolling shoot ‘em up starring Melby, a character from one of his upcoming projects. In the game you can collect and switch between one of four weapons, which charge over time.

To be honest, what I’ve played of the game thus far is slightly underwhelming. Not bad, by any means, but nothing special, in my opinion. That eyeball/crab monster is pretty awesome, though!

    May not be le original, but it’s well executed, and that pleases me to no end.

    Oh. I was wondering what happened to his site - the old one kinda disappeared. Thanks for the update.

    Game’s ok, nothing special. Should at least LOOK nicer. Or be a little more unsettling.

    Also, wow, front page is working.

    Stwelin, it’s a Flash game, embedded directly above the diagram of game keys.

    You need to use the link sectionon the Arma Eater site boys and girls… It will blow your tops. Surfing the japanese illustrator links web is a real treat. Every artist usually has about10 - 50 links http://www.abukas.com/bukuma.html
