We're Alcalico, a group of three friends working on Spacewing War 2.
But what is this game?
Spacewing War 2 is a side-scrolling shoot’em-up/cute’em-up inspired by classics of the past such as Fantasy Zone, Kirby Super Star, Yoshi’s Island and more (as well as a life-long fascination with outer space). With a stylish 16-bit vibe, it features accessible yet intense mechanics in the form of quick weapon swapping, along with many secret areas and strange fun transformations that change the way the game plays. It's a really colorful world!
As Spacewing, you make your way through more than 15 planets, and gather enough power to reach the Energy Generators, your final destination to save the Milkdromeda Galaxy!
If I had to describe it briefly, I would say it's laid back and fun. The story is silly and simple, and the gameplay is forgiving. It's definitely not a super-fast paced, adrenaline rushing game (although we are considering options for this). Players have a generous amount of health, and you can find Modifiers that you can use and combine in your four weapons as you like, as well as other collectables such as color palettes and music mixtapes.
Regarding the "transformations" I previously mentioned, there are some such as turning it into a run n' gun or a topdown shmup, among others.
And there's a free Demo!
We recently began our Kickstarter campaign, and along with it, we released a new Demo! It's available in Steam and Itch.io. It's got quite a lot of content, so I'd recommend you to check it out!
Of course, any donations to the campaign (Live only until March 12th!) are super welcome! It's ok even if you can't pledge, sharing the word is also really useful!!
