Verminest

About

Verminest is a top-down shooter where you control a stationary ship blasting waves of enemies. The action stays simple and fast as hordes descend on your position. You collect power-ups to upgrade your arsenal and survive increasingly tough levels. The game focuses on quick reflexes and memorizing enemy patterns to maximize your score. The game is released under a Creative Commons license which lets players freely use and modify the content. While not widely known it has earned a small but dedicated following. With a straightforward design and no frills Verminest feels like a classic arcade game brought to PC. The 2012 release date means it’s been around long enough for some community feedback but still retains its retro charm.
