OP90 - Puzzle-Action-SHMUP NEEDS FEEDBACK

Post by Wyeth »

Hello SHMUPS-Forum,

My name is Daniel "Wyeth" Schüler and I am an independent game developer (game design & pixel art). Me and my friend have created the
"developer team" FrozenPotion.
This is me reaching out to get feedback and opinions on my game, that I have been working on for the past 4-5 months or so.

It is a mobile (non-casual) SHMUP game with some (hopefully) interesting mechanics. Yes I do realize you guys hate mobile games,
I do too. Thats why I made one that I personally would like to play. Which is exactly why I am interested in hearing your thoughts.

There is a playable web-beta available on Newgrounds or Kongregate that you can play right now

PLAY WEB-VERSION HERE:

WARNING: CHROME DEPRECATED UNITY-WEB-PLUGIN, THE BUILD WON'T WORK ON CHROME! SORRY.

==============================================================================

Short description:

OP90 is an arcade game with elements from classic SHMUPs like Galaga and a style remniscent of Borderlands.

It started as an experiment to answer two main questions: Can mobile games appeal to the PC crowd? (Yes we can)
Can we build a semi-educational game which is actually fun? (No we can't)
It is planned to release on iOS, Android and Windows Phone and is created using Unity.

Thank you for your time. It is very much appreciated!

Well that's not very nice.

I will admit though, that this game probably won't catch the interest of everyone on this particular forum, myself included. It's nice to experiment with new things though. That's how amazing games are made.

You had me at 'Puzzle Action Shmup' (I immediately think of my beloved Quarth), pretty slick graphics style too. Very nice aesthetic touches all around - I particularly like how the spider baddies' health bars are integrated right into their designs.

Definitely looks interesting. :)
