I just discovered this new top-down arena shooter, I'm downloading it now and will post some impressions later.
demo: http://daedalus-thegame.com/download.php
Ever wanted to play Unreal tournament or Quake 3 Arena from a top down 2D perspective ? Maybe not, but now that you think about it, I'm sure you realize how amazing this would be ! Daedalus - No Escape brings you exactly that, the same feel and control as in an arena FPS but from top down, in a dark sci-fi mood inspired by Alien Breed.
In control of a space marine, walk the arena and defeat your opponents using powerful weapons. No feelings, no mercy, only your gun does the talking.
Features:
single player, multi player
game modes: highscore, deathmatch, last man standing, team deathmatch, capture the flag
different control schemes: FPS-like, fixed camera
9 cool weapons
lots of maps
map editor
original soundtrack
windows, linux and mac support

Back in time, when I was younger, I was a big fan of the Alien Breed games I used to play on Amiga. For sure the best one was Alien Breed Tower Assault. Then a few years later came Quake 3 Arena on PC. This was the first FPS game I played in LAN with an arena mode.
From there I always told myself that it would be really cool to have a mix of these two games: a multiplayer arena shooter with 2d top down graphics ... but I never saw it coming so I decided to give a try at making it myself.
That's how Daedalus was born. I developed (and am still developing ...) this game as a hobby for the last 2 years. I did all the code, graphics and music from the couch in my living room :D I hope you will enjoy it!
