My First Android Shmup!

Post by Gazzapper »

Hi Shmup Fans,
Just wanted to let every fan of Shmups know about a new Android game I built in tribute to the excellent Galaxians...
with a few alterations but the main arcade gaming concepts still intact...such as the "Alien dodge-shot" and "flagship buildups" etc.. plus it can surprise you with nasty kill now and again!

Its called Galaxy Force and will be available on Google play with Free version from tomorrow...

Its my first android game but I am hoping to update it significantly over time.

I will post a url to it if people are interested or just search on google play for Galaxy Force

Gaz.

It has to live up to this game to have that name;

Sega 3D classic Galaxy Force II has just been released on the 3DS and is pretty amazing .

Can't wait to check out your Galaxy Force .

uh oh! So glad I posted here as I wasnt aware of that title - I have renamed my game to Galaxy Storm instead!!
;-)

My game is like Galaxians with power-ups where as that Galaxy Force is like "Afterburner" in Space.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I will post a link when ready...

Hi,

Are my scanlines not accurate enough?
Would like to know more about "align and rotate"... would definitely improve them as long as overall performance isnt affected... should they be off-alignment? Not fully horizontal?
