An entry for the shmup-dev Horizontal scroller with boss competition.
It's not as finished as I'd like, but it's got a level and a boss, so I thought I might as well enter. :-)
No menus, the game just starts as soon as you run it.

Controls:
Use keyboard or the first joystick/joypad connected to the system.

Z/X/Joypad button
   tap to fire white bullets
   tap repeatedly to fire blue spread bullets
   hold down to fire green rapid fire bullets

cursor keys/joystick/joypad
   move ship

'R' key
   restart game (sorry, no menus yet!)

'Esc' key
   quit game (no confirmation)

'P' key
   pause/unpause game.

'Alt + Enter'
   toggle full screen mode.

While enemy bullets are in the circle around your ship, you accumulate charge.
The blue and green weapons will fire at increased power if you have charge (and use up charge at the same time).
Your ship's collision is the shown by the smallish box in the middle of it.

The game uses SDL with OpenGL:
