Hiya thanks for dropping by! Don't mind if I tell a short story, but this actually started out as a hobby project back in 2018. But progress was slow between the day job and family commitments.
However, at the end of 2023, I was laid off from a job I was in for 15 years. In early 2024, I pondered for a while and then decided to bring this game to fruition by going full time indie. It's a little hard to count exactly how many hours I have sunk into this from the pre 2024 days as it's kind of scattered but I hope I kind of gave a picture of things :)
Thanks for the compliments and appreciate the comment! 👍
I grew up playing the classics of the 80s/90s and this game is very much inspired by them in terms of mechanics and feel.
Along with that, I have taken the visual style in a bit of a bold and radical direction. I really wanted to capture the chaos and intensity of battle with this game, so it is definitely a lot flashier than the usual shmup game but I have made many rounds of tweaks to make the threats as readable as possible among the chaos.
My hope is that, between the tight controls, simplicity, non-stop action and striking visuals, one can have a blast while playing this.
