Shameless Clone is a Flash retro-style shooter game created by nldr and Ssquall. It has the player fly though various different alien worlds, all based on some genre of pop culture, and shoot everything to earn money for upgrades.
Shameless Clone 2 is basically the same as the first game, except with two more worlds and two more player characters. It also has a version with two-player mode.
Provides examples of:
- 1-Up: One of the powerups is an ambulance icon that gives you an extra life. It can't give you more lives than what you had at the start of the level, though.
- Black Comedy Animal Cruelty: In the second game, the stat for every enemy you killed is labeled "cute creatures ripped".
- The Colored Cross: The ambulance power-up is labeled with a pink cross.
- Continue Countdown: As part of the games' retro aesthetic, if you lose, a countdown screen appears. It still saves your progress if it reaches zero, though.
- Gold–Silver–Copper Standard: The coins in-game are brown, silver, and yellow, from least to most valuable.
- Hearts Are Health: The hearts on the bottom left screen indicate how much health the player has.
- Marathon Boss: The boss of Italian Plumber World/8-Bit World has a lot more health than any of the other bosses, to the point that a single phrase takes more time than the second game's entire final boss.
- Mix-and-Match Critters: Octocat, one of the playable characters, is an octopus with a cat's head and bat wings.
- Poison Mushroom: One of the power-ups in the first game flips the screen upside down, making it harder to control. It's removed from the second game.
- Power-Up: The enemies' random drops have effects like turning into a super-fast shooter for a few seconds, restoring a life, giving the player a shield for a few seconds, or doing one damage to everything on screen.
- Power-Up Magnet: The player characters slightly pull the coins and power-ups towards themselves, and one of the upgrades is making the magnet stronger.
- Random Drop: The enemies drop either coins or random power-ups.
- Random Drop Booster: One of the upgrades is making the random drops more likely to be power-ups.
- Shout-Out:
- Some of the enemies in the Nyan World are based on the Cheshire Cat, being cats with wide grins that partially disappear every few seconds.
- In the first game, the third world, based on retro video games, is called "Italian Plumber World". It's renamed "8-Bit World" in the second game.
- The 8-Bit World's boss looks a lot like a ninja turtle in his second phrase.
- One of his quotes in the level start screens is "I love the smell of burning pixels in the morning!"
- The second game's Anime World is full of orange-clothed ninjas.
- Spread Shot: One of the upgrades you can buy is increasing the amount of directions you can shoot, which goes up to six directions.
- Stationary Boss: The final bosses of 8-Bit World and Troll World stay in one place, unlike the other bosses that move around.
