One of the reasons I love what I am working on right now is due to the fact that the people I am doing it with are smart and fun. Matt Hackett is one of the talented front end developers in our group, and he’s just released a fun game called “Spacius!”
The retrostyling grabs a bit from Galaga and Defender, but the code behind it is pure 2008: He’s built the entire thing using javascript (with the exception of sound syncing) and its delightfully cross-browser compatible. It’s a fun space shooter/adventure with simple controls (read: arrow keys, not HUAGLUGHUAHGU).

Check out his article about the game, and links to play.
