Space Dragons (Steam)

Team Black Hat Robot, the developers behind Q-YO Blaster, recently released another shmup on Steam early access called Space Dragons.

It looks rather neat, especially when one considers the low price tag it's currently selling for.




Here's the early access launch trailer:

There's a beta demo available on itch.io, for those who wish to try it:

Looks interesting. Horrible pixelation though...

The enemy designs and melee remind me of Skycurser.

And hey, Space + Dragons are my two favorite things in shooters.

Looks pretty good! Lots of interesting mechanics being shown in the trailer, I also dig some of the crazier big bosses. Music is nice too, I'll have to check this out after work.

They say they will rise the price when the game is out of early access, so grab it now

It looks pretty good, I've wishlisted so I can get it in the next 2 weeks after I clear my credit card

Damn, I like the graphics a lot. Looks cool.

Looks like a mix of Area 88, Skycurser and Last Resort (or a Nazca developed game)

Things I love:
- the pixelated look
- the background/stage visual design
- the UI design
- enemy design
- the melee attack

Things I don’t love:
- horizontally ‘long’ player ships
- something about the regular shot seems weak
- some bosses need a lot of work
- the melee attack animation
- the logo… could be so much better.
- character art — please hire someone. Run a kickstarter, something…

Game looks rad.

Any insight into whether they're planning a console port? Q-Yo Blaster showed up on Steam, PS4, Switch, Xbox... so hopefully this one will too? I love the look. Just don't usually love playing on PC. Might buy the thing anyway to support them, but I'd rather be playing it on Switch.

There's a new update out, that added a couple of new stages, plus some fixes and improvements.
