Hyperspace Invaders Zero
Hyperspace Invaders Zero is a frantic vertical shooter with abstract graphics where you blast away massive amounts of enemies and collect their souls to increase your firepower.
Gameplay itself is pretty minimal because only the left and right arrow keys are needed to control the ship and its slippy laserbeam. However the simplicity doesn’t make it an easy game due to the sheer amount of stuff that is happening on screen.
Moreover by reaching a decent score you will unlock a Space Invaders and a Paratrooper remake.
The training mode offers 108 short waves whereas the normal game comes with 5 levels. (Demo offers ~25 training waves and 3 levels in normal mode)

Path Of Time
Path Of Time is an interesting vertical shooter with time traveling and a minimalistic graphical style.
Collect enough sand to fill up your hourglass and then activate it to support yourself with another instance of yourself for 10 seconds. Some kind of an 1 player co-op mode. There are also boss battles at the end of each stage that need some time travel support tactics. After you have beaten a boss you can buy some upgrades in the shop.
