Overhead 2-d shooter, reminiscent of games like Robotron

Twitch - a GPL arcade game by David Clark silenus@telus.net.

Twitch is an overhead 2-d shooter, reminiscent of games like Robotron or Tron Deadly Disks. The player has entered the fortress of the evil Hippopoticus, and is trying to rescue the fair Lady Penelope from his clutches. I wrote Twitch as a proof-of-concept namely that Python, properly written, is fast enough to create a playable, cross-platform arcade game.
