Duality ZF mentioned as one of Dream Build Play's top entries by last year's winner.

Mommy's Best Games, one of four winners of last year's Dream Build Play, has mentioned Duality ZF as one of two solid contenders against its own Grapple Buggy, the game they are entering in this year's Dream Build Play competition.  They are hoping to repeat last year's success; Mommy's Best Games placed third in Dream Build Play 2008 with Weapon of Choice, a Contra-style shoot'em up game previously mentioned on our site, earning $10,000 USD.  The other solid contender mentioned was  Elysian Tail: Dust, by Dean Dodrill.  Not bad considering he is an (amazing) artist who has been on 20 year break from coding.

Please check out videos of all three games:

About the Author:  I am Matthew Doucette of Xona Games, an award-winning, team-of-two indie studio concentrating on "intense retro" games (Xbox LIVE, PSN, WiiWare, and Windows PC). We've released Decimation X (XBLIG), a 1-4 player shmup, #1 best selling and #1 top rated XBLIG in Japan. We're working on Duality ZF (XBLA), a groundbreaking 1-4 player shmup, which placed #1 in Canada and #5 in the world in Microsoft's Dream Build Play 2010 contest. It features dual play, the ability to control two fighters at once, and a massively upgradable 32-stage spread/laser weapon system. 4 player dual play allows up to eight fighters at once.  Many of these features are never before seen shoot'em up firsts. Both games feature beautiful electronic Imphenzia soundtracks.  Help spread the word with our official dualityzf.com and decimationx.com websites.

P.S. Watch out for Score Rush (official website scorerush.com), another 1-4 player shmup. Coming soon to XBLIG.

*Shmup also known as: shoot'em up, 2D shooter, scrolling shooter, space shooter, spaceship shooter, retro shooter, etc.
