New SHMUP on the way

Posted by cactus on March 29, 2007, 9:28 p.m.

I think I will be releasing a new Shoot 'Em Up rather soon. It'll be visually kinda similar to Clean Asia, except less abstract. At least the enemies will be.

Here's some screenshots

> This is the title screen. Haven't added a menu yet, so it's a bit empty.

> Here's one of the unique aspects of the game. You get to equip your ship with guns and stuff.

> The gameplay is pretty intense, you should be glad you only have a one pixel hitbox.

You probably can't tell from these pix, but the enemies and bullet patterns are all generated randomly. They're damn cool as well, quite some eye candy.

Should be finished within the week ;D

I find it incredibly attractive, cactus; they're just jealous.

As for the game, I loved Clean Asia and look forward to playing this one. I usually don't like Shoot-'em-up games, but yours are so good that they inspire me to make my own.

Love even though I suck at maniac shmups.

This really looks like Clean Asia, at least in the aspect of having lots of projectiles on your screen. The design aspect sounds fun.

Ever considered making some less arcade-esque, more sane and longer game, cactus? ;)

Yeah, I am working on something like that, actually. Have quite grand plans for it :)

Insane. BTW, this might look like Clean Asia, folks, but it's pretty different. Ah, I love being on the inside.

BTW, I know all about cactus' plans. Give me a dollar and I'll tell you.
