We just released our Bullet Hell Shmup in Early Access

Post by Beyond Solar »

Hey everyone,

We just launched our game Beyond Solar in Early Access on Steam

It’s a fast-paced bullet hell built around tight movement, clean/readable patterns, and that “barely surviving chaos” feeling but with a bit of a twist. You can also jump into 1v1 PvP with Ranked Leaderboards, where you’re not just dodging… you’re actively trying to overwhelm another player.

Alongside that, we’ve been experimenting with progression, loadouts such as Drone Crafting, Weapon and Ship Upgrade system, and a survival mode to push it a bit beyond a traditional shmup.

It’s still early, we’re actively developing it, and honestly we’d love real feedback, especially from people who play shmups a lot. difficulty, clarity, overall feel… all of that is still being tuned.

If you try it, tell us what feels good and what feels off, and what we should improve.

Appreciate any and all feedback!
