Chup is a new Flash platformer from DrPetter, the creator of the fantastic music tools SFXR and Musagi. Use the keyboard to move and the mouse to launch yourself into the air. The goal is to reach the exit in each of the 16 levels. You get more points for time, gems, and number of launches used.
DrPetter makes some quality stuff, and Chup is no exception – it’s a challenging game with slick graphics and music.

DrPetter, the creator of sfxr and 116 unfinished games (and some pretty cool finished ones), put out a free music app that’s been floating around in an incomplete (but functional) state for awhile. musagi is a sophisticated music editor and synthesizer that I warrant could compete with commercial music editors should DP decide to rub out a version 1.0. It certainly feels intuitive and easy-to-use for even a newb composer like myself.
There are a few rough spots in the program, but most can be worked around. For example, I had problems loading songs until I realized that it was the “Parts Window” that was screwing it up and making it crash. Once I made sure to close that before loading songs, I was gold. Diamond Rider “remixes” flowed from me like fine brandy.
Anyway, I’m hoping that this post will help inspire DrPetter to clean musagi up, because it would most certainly be a boon to all of mankind. Also check out his article repository, where you can find some learnin’ words about sfxr, musagi, and sound/music in general!

DrPetter, the brilliant mind behind sfxr, was inspired by the awesome Unfinished Game Demo/Dump thread on TIGForums and decided to contribute a mosaic of 116 of his own unfinished creations.
The games listed span from 1995 to 2008, which I guess corresponds to half my life (born 1982).
You can see the full image here (3 mb) – wow, is that ever fun to look at! DrPetter has also written short descriptions for each of the games (some of which can be played at his website)!
Definitely check out the rest of the dumps, too. You might not think it, but it’s quite inspiring (and entertaining) to see people’s unfinished work. I’m considering contributing some games to it myself!

Hells yes! The ever-inventive Dr. Petter has released a free sound program that lets you easily create retro-style sound effects:
What I present here is, if you will, an MS Paint for sound effects… or something along those lines. It’s meant to make it dead easy for anyone to whip up a few simple sound effects and save them as .WAV files for playback using most game/media libraries like SDL or pygame.
This really beats holding a microphone in my teeth while I beat a robot to death with a rusted pipe!
(Works in Linux, too! Thanks, PoV!)
