AutoFire 2007 shooter competition results announced

A group of nearly 20 indie-made shmups battled it out for supremacy in the recent AutoFire 2007 Shooter Competition. The quirky Clean Asia flew away with the top overall score, while Excellent Bifurcation and Force Majeure rounded out the top three. Games were also ranked by graphics, sound, and innovation; and Clean Asia polished off the top place in two of those categories as well. Not bad for a game with wireframe visuals.

If you read the recently featured guide to doujin shmups, the AutoFire competition should be your next destination. Not only are the contestants some of the best indie shooters around, they're also free. Free as in gratis. Free as in beer. Free as in go download them now!
