Messhof (aka Mark Essen) has just released this dodge-the-missiles game. It is fun. But it’s only fun when you’ve worked through the three ‘stages of comprehension’, which are:
1. realising that you’re rotating and thrusting, and — oh! — you can suddenly control the blasted helicopter
2. remembering that the title screen told you that you can ‘FLIP FOR MULTIPLIERS!!’
3. stopping trying to flee from the missiles, and starting to weave elegant looping 360-degree-flipping arcs around the sky that are mathematically calculated to avoid death
Then you’re playing it all night. Play Party Boat (Flash)
You must play this. The first few seconds of Fathom’s shooty platforming are pleasant enough: chunky pixels, slick control, synthy sounds. But are you thinking the opening boss battle seems suspiciously hard? You’d be right. Suddenly, Fathom turns into something very beautiful indeed. We won’t spoil the surprise. Except to say that the title will, eventually, make a whole lot of sense. 
Yes, somewhere in the midst of that image above is your ship. Squid Harder is the sequel to the original
