Vector Strain

[EndVoid]

Hello everyone!

I am one of the devs at Omnidream Creations, a small indie company now working on Vector Strain, a shmup inspired by awesome series like Aero Fighters, Strikers 1945 or Raiden. The game will be ready for release at the end of November 2015 (that's very close, yes). Before release we're going to show regular gameplay videos and a demo will also be available.

So here are the main features of Vector Strain:

* 5 unique stages with their own setting, enemies and end-level boss
* 5 ships to choose from each with their own play style, shields and special weapon
* 5 upgrade levels for each ship
* 3 difficulty levels
* 1080p 3D graphics at 60fps
* keyboard/controller/joystick support
* 2 players local co-op
* elaborate but not over-complicated scoring system

We just started a Steam Greenlight campaign for the game here:

Hello everyone!

Here's a gameplay video of Vector Strain recorded at 1080p resolution and using a XBOX360 controller.

And some more info on the game:

• using bombs and shields will not result in score penalties, actually the game will reward the player for absorbing bullets with the shields and bombs can be used for getting a higher score
• Stage bosses will have 2-4 stages
• there will be 3 ships available at the start of the game and 2 more to unlock by getting certain achievements

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Looks great, love the modern style! Too many pixelated games these days.
