A scrolling shooter I'm developing for fun, practice, and profit. It's designed as the first in a series, telling a character-driven drama. The story follows players of a new hit scrolling shooter series. It'll have unlockable game modes and characters, such as boss rush and score attack. I'm aiming for six levels playable, with a boss unique to each level. I want to pay homage to many great SHMUPs throughout history, particularly ones I personally love. The story will be told through a visual novel interface.
I promised an actual speed video, here it is. I'm getting better at the challenge mode playthrough myself. The framerate is still a bit iffy, the action nowhere near as smooth as the actual game, but at least it's the right speed.
