CounterAttack, Early Acccess

Post by again »

Hey guys. About 2 years ago I wanted to introduce my friend to shmups. He had a Mac, I had Windows, and for the life of me I couldn't find an online coop cross platform shmup that we both liked. Well I'm crazy, so I decided to make one. It's called CounterAttack and it just entered early access on Steam.

It's got 20 levels, a gradius like powerup system, 7 ships each with unique special abilities (nuke, plasma wave, fighter squadron, etc), 2 player local coop, 4 player online coop, 40 unlockable attachments (permanent ship upgrades), and an endless survival mode. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Here's a trailer: https://youtu.be/dFlXHuFc_U4

There's a demo here: http://www.indiedb.com/games/counterattack/downloads

Here's the steam page: http://store.steampowered.com/app/451600/

Here's a few steam keys for you guys :)

I did the var thing so bots don't get them.

Let me know what you guys think :)

Kudos for including online co-op, that's far too rare in shmups.

I couldn't agree more. So many awesome shmups I want to play with my friends that I can't.
