No release date yet, but they say it'll come sometime this year for the usual systems PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC


Didn't know beforehand, but they have a Kickstarter page if you're interested

It seems difficult to see what's happening. The plane also tilts up and down instead of moving up and down. I think that might be because of the realistic look.

Does look visually interesting. Can't deny that.

I actually like that, i feel like im playing an atari game when the ships just slide to the direction you input in SHMUPS.

Have been following this game for years. Really hope it finally releases this year. It has the potential to be the best brazilian game ever made.

I just backed the game on Kickstarter. Hope they can deliver the goods:

It looks a little hard to see but I imagine on a huge sharp screen, it would be fine. I'm interested.

i sometimes have a hard time even seeing bullets on stuff like battle garegga and have to switch to the bullet hell blobs for better visual delineation.

this could just be a bad encode for the video too.

edit: just looked at the kickstarter footage-- way better looking.

It is to look like he is being pulled on a string

if anything they should have went harder with this effect for the other stuff (like tilting the ufos more)

It's cool to look at for the length of the trailer, but I wouldn't want to play an entire game like that. Also, a STG with enemy projectiles that are the same color as the player's (and everything else) sounds like a nightmare.
