This may be a long shot, but I remember playing a really good indie made 'shmup (about ~2004?). I can't remember it's name or who made it, but I have a recollection it was announced by someone here on gamedev.net. The clues I can give: it was retro pixel art style, ran at an actual low old-school resolution (ie. not just emulated pixeleyness), and had some kind of piece of radioactive/blue toast as the developer's logo.
I've been really wanting to play it again, but no amount of googling for radioactive toast has turned up anything . So I thought I'd see if anyone out there may remember it and have a copy available.
Also, wow, it's been a long time since I've posted anything here. I guess I had a craving for nostalgia on all fronts .
Thanks!
