Heliocide WIP

Post by sittingducky »

Hello!
this is my first time here so I'd like to introduce the shmup that I'm making. Heliocide!, like, sun-murder :D Actually, I'll try to keep it real and just say it's a simple shooter, or a Euro-shmup since hardcore shmups have such a high standard. The game is playable tho so i'd like to share a few screenshots and a demo. feel free to play around, any critique and feedback would be greatly appreciated!
thank you!

The models, texture, visual and special effect particularly very good, Resembles like Astro Avenger 1 and 2, It's good to your game development progress.

Also greetings Croatia people.

Oh my pleasure, Your project with the Astro Avenger game style, I usually have to replaying Astro Avenger 2 before, It's pretty good and very fun.
