Hey all, game announcement time! I've been working on this one since the summer and am excited to get it out there.
PRAXIS FIGHTER X is a fast-paced single stage retro shmup. Dodge bullets and fight off the militarized police force defending a corporate toxic sludge pipeline.
Coming this Friday to itch.io, Lexaloffle BBS, and Newgrounds
Day 5 (4 was lazy day) reworked how the background works as I felt the planet was ugly, still working on that but I made the clouds more fluffy.
Finding ways to make it feel like there's several layers. #gbstudio#gameboy#gbc#gameboycolor#gamedev#shmup

Both versions differ from the 1986 arcade (re)release and the NES gameplay differs slightly from the Famicom. #Shmup#Shmups#ShootingGames#RetroGaming

Sektori (week 134): 🌈 mode finished and I think we are very near calling the main mode gameplay feature complete (with some caveats about the bosses). Just a lot of iteration left! Not sure what to work on next, I guess I should clean up my notes first.

Back in December, @hbgameclub held a #SHMUP competition, and I was introduced to Dangan GB2 (https://snorpung.itch.io/dangan-gb2). If you're not familiar, it's a bullet hell boss rush SHMUP for the Game Boy Color.
No, wait, come back! It's good!
It's good, and it's also hard. Deliberately so -- if you want an addictive challenge, it's a great choice. The boss design is awesome. Well, as far as I know they're all awesome ... I've only ever gotten to the third stage.
