Our own entry to the Shmup-Dev Autofire Shooter Compo.

A 2 player manic-shooter in the likes of Strikers 1945, Dodon Patchi and a cute-em-up from the likes of Parodius and Harmful Park.

Very nice graphics. It looks... complicated.

[BadMrBox]

I like it, thought I would rather have little less action on the screen :roll:, I'm more of an R-type person. The twoplayer support is a nice touch.

One of the majorly awesome factors of this type of game is how much work was put into background objects and such. Along with all the shots flying across the screen, it makes the game more challenging.

I'm not really a fan of the "What-the-fuck-am-I-shooting-at-where-the-hell-are-my-bullets-what-the-hell-is-going-on-there's-so-much-stuff-on-screen!" 'bulletstorm' style of shooters... It looks interesting though. I prefer less chaotic shinyness, really, but that's just me. Good job.

[relsoft]

Well, mo' chaos...

Use this FB build (then doenload the newest MT build):
