Pod Fighter is based on the traditional spaceship shoot-em-up, or 'shmup'. You have a ship, and the object is to blast away at all the enemy ships and survive for as long as you can whilst racking up the points. It features a multitude of powerups to make your life easier (you'll need them), a variety of enemies with varying weapons and behavior to keep you on your toes, and keeps track of the top ten high scores so you can compete with your friends.
Finally this game has reached a point where I feel up to sharing it with the general public. That said, please feel free to download and enjoy the game. Questions? Email me at [email protected].
The demo is up! It's shareware so, as long as you don't make any changes to the package, feel free to download, unzip, and play all you like. Just extract it to any directory and double-click 'PodFighter' to play. Make sure to read the readme first!

If you are not running version 0.9.6 of Pod Fighter, download this patch as well. It addresses several key issues with Pod Fighter, including the ability to fire weapons without the mouse, a bug with the repair powerup, and further compliance with the Torque 2D EULA. Simply download it to the base game directory (the same folder as the T2D executable) and extract all files, making sure to overwrite any existing files. NOTE: this patch will erase any high scores you have currently.
