I.S.U.D - It Shoots, You Dodge - New Bullet hell shoot'em up

Post by hima »

Hello! Hima's here. I've been a lurker for a long time, and this is my first time posting, I believe. I love reading game mechanic analysis as well as scoring technique here. Great stuffs, really.

And because there isn't enough bullet hell game on mobile device, I've decided to work on something and finally here it is.

I.S.U.D. - It Shoots, You Dodge -
I.S.U.D. (I-Sood) is a bullet hell/curtain fire shoot'em up which focus on the boss battle. The game features a challenging risk/reward system, as well as beautiful and deadly bullet patterns. With the dynamic difficulty system, the game difficulty will be changed according to the player's performance. This make the difficulty please the shoot'em up veteran, while it allows the beginner to enjoy a quick session of bullet hell.

Features
* Challenging beautiful bullet patterns
* Dynamic difficulty
* High Replayability with challenging achievements and secret achievements
* Open Feint enabled
* Twitter & Facebook integration
* Online leaderboard
* A bullet hell game that is true to its genre!

This should be available in app store soon. I'm going to release a lite version so that people can try the game for free :) I wish I could release a beta and let you guys try the game before I submit to app store, but due to the nature of indie iOS game development, that isn't happening anytime soon. Grr.

Looks awesome... too bad I'm not a cell phone guru that plays games on them. Glad to see someone taking the initiative on it though. Good luck!

Thank you! And yes, you have to pay $99 annually in order to put your app on the app store. :)

You should add something like Shoot the Bullet's scoring mechanic to make it more interesting.

For the last 20 or so years, yes. Before that, the lower bullet count of 80s shoot-em-ups meant it worked the other way round.

With this game, I've finished a shmup engine that can be used again in the future. Our next game is a bullet hell shmup on iPad with a unique feature :)
It's underdevelopment right now and I'll make sure people here will hear about it once it's ready to be announced!

Bumping with praise!

Started playing today - really enjoying it so far!

Looks good, plays great. Managed to snag no. 1 place on Mission 2A :D
But i suck at all the other missions (!!) Perhaps just a lucky run :D

On sale at the moment, definitely worth a look!
