BlackShark dropped by our forums today to share with us the alpha release for Space Shark, his homebrew game entry for the PxP competition.

The game's controls are as follows:analog stick or D-pad for moving, R to fire, Triangle to turn off the music and Circle to turn it on. However, BlackShark says that "the charge shot does not fire any thing yet, to make the bar rise as if you were doing a charge shot though, hold both L and R."

He's also currently working on the game modes (campaign, escape the asteroids and classic) and on adding a multiplayer feature for future releases. Now, BlackShark is aware that the game isn't that polished yet (precisely because it's an alpha release, doh) but he still wanted to inform the community about the developments of the game. That said, why don't you guys check it out for yourself by downloading the game below, and if you have comments and/or suggestions, head on to our forums (click on the release thread below) and help out BlackShark in improving the game.
