I've been playing fucking lots of Project Scarlet.
It's a really difficult 2D shooter/platformer made in Game Maker. Despite this, it's brilliant.
The game gives you 8 elements to choose from each time you start the game. Elements can be changed at the mission gates, too. Each element has funcky abilities that can work really well in conjunction with other elements abilities (shadow's ninja star and water's barrier skill, for example).
There's a 180 level main mission with randomly generated stages and really hard (really, really hard) bosses every 20 levels. After you beat Scarlet in stage 180 you unlock boss rush, which sees you fighting all of the bosses then Scarlet, which requires a group of ~5 (at one of those players has to be really good).
There are also elemental trial missions. These have 9 stages and then pit you against that element's boss.
There's competetive and cooperative online multiplayer, too.
It's still in beta and there's a lot more to be added, which I really look forward to.
