Swing 2 is an arcade game I made for the third GameCOG Competition, which won 3rd place and the first GameMold Choice Award ($20).

It's pretty similar to the standard SHMUP, with a twist - you can't shoot. Instead you have a ball which orbits around you, connected by a line of zappy yellow stuff which destroys the incoming enemies on contact.

There are 5 modes in the game: 

• Waves, where enemies come on from the sides of the screen in waves, with a boss every 5 waves (There are only 10 waves in total, though...)
• Arcade, where a certain number of enemies come in according to your score.
• Survival, where you have no ball and line of zappy yellow stuff, but must avoid the incoming enemies at all costs - three hits and you're gooooone.
• Insanity, which is the same as Arcade, but much, much, much harder.
• SHMUP, where once again you have no ball and line of zappy yellow stuff, but instead you can shoot at the enemies in a traditional SHMUP style
