Shmup! Demo Steam page is now live – feedback welcome
Hi everyone,
I've been working on a vertical scrolling shmup called Shmup!, and I've just launched the Steam page ahead of the upcoming demo release.
It's an arcade-style score attack shooter inspired by the classics, with online leaderboards, multiple shot types, and six unique special abilities that significantly change how you approach a run. One of my goals is to encourage replayability by having players experiment with different weapon/special combinations while chasing higher scores.
Current features of the demo include:
- 1-stage
- Online leaderboards (Normal, Dynamic and Assisted)
- Multiple shot and spread patterns
- 6 special abilities (including a hyper beam, homing attack, and time-slow mechanic)
- Score-focused gameplay
- Keyboard and Controller support
- Assist options of Auto-Bomb and Regenerating Special Ammo (Assist use has a seperate leaderboard)
The demo is coming soon and I'd love to hear what fellow shmup fans think about the Steam page, screenshots, and overall presentation.
