Windowkill
Windowkill is a twin-stick shooter, but the game window itself is constantly closing in on you. Shoot the window edges to push it around your screen as you fight and dodge enemies and bosses in their own windows.

“A decent little roguelike game with a wonderful idea of using your system's window as a gameplay feature. The game actually has some content for about 20-30 hours, if you're into 100% completition gamers but that's it. It is definitely worth it to give it a shot!”
