PBI submissions Xye, Adventures on Planet Zephulor, XBubble, I Have No Tomatoes

Xye

In this game you have to get/eat all the diamonds in the level, but it is not as easy as it sounds, many dangers
are present, traps made out of those arrow blocks, for example. 
Also beasts that try to eat you.

Adventures on Planet Zephulor

There are no lives or continues in the game. If the player dies, he/she simply restarts at the beginning of
the level. All creatures and power-ups are persistent in each level, in other words, if all but one enemy
has been killed on a level when the player dies, there will only be that remaining creature as the player restarts.

PBI submissions Njam, FloboPuyo, Fly Hard, Don Ceferino Hazaña, Circus Linux, Formido

Njam

Is fast-paced cross-platform Pac-Man-like game. In this arcade you move through the maze eating cookies
and collecting powerups while trying to avoid ghosts who chase you.

games/njam

http://njam.sourceforge.net/

FloboPuyo

Clone of the famous Puyo Puyo game.

Puyos are fancy smiling bubbles... But they can really be invading sometimes!
Your goal is to make groups of colored puyos to make them explode and send bad ghost Puyos to your oponent. You
win the game if your oponent reaches the top of the board. You can play against computer or an other human.

games/flobopuyo

http://www.ios-software.com/?page=projet&quoi=29

Fly Hard

This is a game similar to Thrust - you pick things up with your ship, carry them off, and drop them somewhere.
Exactly why this needs to be done is not well explained.

Features realistic(ish) physics: Explosions toss things around, some weapons knock enemies back, and of
course gravity is a constant companion. Improved weapons are available to replace the pathetic
peashooter that the player starts out with.

This is a port of the MacBill, which is based on XBill, source to GNUstep.

[TM], a virus cleverly designed to resemble a popular operating system.  Your objective is to click the
mouse on them, ending their potential threat. If one of the people reaches a computer, it will attempt to
replace your operating system with the virus it carries. It will then attempt to run off the screen with
your vital software.

security holes in Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Outlook,
