Steelbound Sky - SHMUP X Wind Manipulation - NEW CONCEPT

Post by witherwood »

Hello Shmups Fans!

I have just released a game called Steelbound Sky. It's a game which is inspired by traditional shoot'em ups but is combined with a contemporary control scheme.

Rather than taking control of a ship, you are in control of the wind. Wind streams are used to manipulate projectiles or enemies themselves. It's a game which takes advantage of touch controls rather than trying to retrofit analogue buttons or joysticks on a screen.

It's now on the app store!

Since this game is truly built for a tablet experience I recommend that it is played on an iPad. However, it is fully compatible with most iPhones/iPod touches.

A PC version is working pretty well at the moment, and is being considered for release in the future. I'd love to release a version on PC and android. The issue really is there needs to be enough interest in the product. I'm aware for a lot of you Shmup fans, a PC version would be a lot easier and would add to your collection. There are other ways to support this product such as on social media. You can follow us, subscribe, like and comment on our online outlets:

Steelbound Sky Links: I hope you give it a try soon and enjoy it. Please ask any questions or give any feedback/criticism. Feedback, good or bad, from a forum like this is really important to me. A lot of people have found this very challenging and hard to beat (but a common adjective I hear about this is that it's addicting) and I really was aiming for shmup fans to enjoy this game as well as casual gamers.

If you wanted, there is a contest going on at touch arcade that can offer you free promo codes:

Or, if you have a blog, YouTube channel, are a writer or you just do reviews somewhere and you want to try this game, email me here:

theteam@witherwoodstudios.com

and I will hand you a Promo code for this game.
