I have just released a game called Steelbound Sky. It's a game which is inspired by traditional shoot'em ups but is combined with a contemporary control scheme.
Rather than taking control of a ship, you are in control of the wind. Wind streams are used to manipulate projectiles or enemies themselves. It's a game which takes advantage of touch controls rather than trying to retrofit analogue buttons or joysticks on a screen.
It's now on the app store!

Since this game is truly built for a tablet experience I recommend that it is played on an iPad. However, it is fully compatible with most iPhones/iPod touches.
A PC version is working pretty well at the moment, and is being considered for release in the future. I'd love to release a version on PC and android. The issue really is there needs to be enough interest in the product. I'm aware for a lot of you Shmup fans, a PC version would be a lot easier and would add to your collection. There are other ways to support this product such as on social media. You can follow us, subscribe, like and comment on our online outlets:
