Today's boredom buster is Mussel, a highly interesting, and well executed retro styled arcade shooter, and the music is great too. The screen pulses to the music, and it's a really good effect.

The game was created by the same folks that made Sportsfriends, as it they wanted a change after working on it.

I actually really like this game, and it really does bring back memories of some retro games I used to love on the Amiga. It even uses that lovely CRT screen style, so you get the feeling of a really old monitor.

It’s free, so you have nothing to lose by trying it out!

Info: It required me to install libGLEW. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

It needs libGLEW.so.1.10 to run. I haven't got it on Fedora 20, but I copied the one included in steam and it worked.

I've only made one game but it seems ok. I like the retro style and the screen shaking anytime something explode.

Nice little game.
Though the fact that it's not open sourced is beyond me...

well, I think it's a Unity game, so the source wouldn't be all that useful.

I don't see why you would comment that on this anyway?

Didn't know it's Unity based.
Anyway, I thought: it's free/gratis, has creative commons sounds, and it's clearly not a multimillion investment (the graphical assets are 3 little pngs)... it's the perfect candidate for an open source release on github.
It has an interesting retro style and it's well made, I think reading the code could be a good learning experience for some young developer...
