While I haven’t finished the current content quite yet, what’s there so far is quite promising. I’ve been a danmaku shmup enthusiast for ages and, while I usually tend to prefer having a tiny hitbox, no shields, and one-hit death, the way this game integrates the shields, health, and movement speed into passive mechanics you can choose between is definitely intriguing, especially when paired with the ability to combine a wide variety of shot types.
The pacing could use some work, with the difficulty being very slow to ramp up (especially for someone already comfortable navigating through curtains of bullets) and with some of the levels feeling like they drag on for a bit longer than is welcome. Because the pacing is already being worked on, though, it’s very likely this will be ironed out before its final release. There doesn’t appear to be any storytelling to speak of in the game, which made it challenging for me to stay engaged, but there is the potential that later on, the gameplay will be enough of a challenge to entertain me all on ts own.

Crucible
I’m one of the developers for this game; I produced the game, put together the overall design vision, and programmed the bullet patterns. This project was an incredible learning experience, and I’m thankful to my team for making it such a fun and fulfilling time. It was my very first game project, and very much a passion project.
Things that went well:
-
For a six-week project between three freshman-level developers, I’m proud of how much we squeezed into the game.
-
The game is extremely short, but is a complete experience. The player can win and lose, and there is a progression in difficulty (if imperfect).

My play through here:
Review
I really liked the music a real piano bop and the game itself it’s challenging and I’m glad the game gives you a reason to play through with no continues. Normal mode is definitely manageable, but it’s still challenging enough it’s pretty rewarding when you beat it on normal with no continues. Legendary is beyond my skill level, but normal is pretty user friendly and if you really struggle you can use continues to make the game beatable by everyone you only get the best ending with no continues though. Definitely recommend a solid free to play that lets you practice/test your bullet hell skills

I’m not a big enthusiasthic about danmaku shmups, however I think this game is gonna make me enjoy the genre more and more from now on. Very simplistic but pleasing to the eye graphics, a great soundtrack and a tight gameplay.
I don’t think I’ll get good enough to finish the game on “Nightmare” difficulty any time soon, but one day I might get lucky and destroy the Gnuferno once and for all! 💣🐃💥

its a pretty good and well polished game. the only flaw i have is that you are overwhelmed by the amount of stuff to learn when you start. perhaps a tutorial level where you could try out and practice those mechanics would be good. but apart from that great game. by the way, what engine / language did you use to make the game?

Gameplay / Story
The player gets behind the wheel of a spaceship and confesses as we know it from Star Wars, heard hostile, with lasers, rockets, guns, etc. That has a charming 3D effect. There is an introductory tutorial that simplifies the entrance and explains the controls. At the beginning you can improve from 4 levels of difficulty. In the further course of the game you unlock new spaceships. Each new weapon brings with it new weapons that can also belong to themselves. The levels are flown through alternately vertically and horizontally. You were offered 2D and 3D graphics. Must come, it belongs to it. An opponent will be with other spaceships. But the selection is wide and each one has a different strategy to control it. The background music of the game in arcade style, which rounds off that certain something and the whole.

I’ve have been looking for a classic bullet hell type of game for a long time now and have tired some that were out already on the market but they didn’t scratch my itch. Then i came across starlight which thankfully did the job. While it doesn’t have a story mode it makes up with beautiful artwork, challenging enemies, an interesting progression system, and a good soundtrack. The only thing that is missing from this game is in the endless mode.
If you want a classic bullet hell shooter Starlight would be the game I would recommend

Waves
It is a bit difficult to find truly great twin stick arcade shooters on PC. There are quite a few of them around, but my search has been to find something as close to the PSN great Super Stardust HD as possible. A truly amazing twin stick shooter that many of us even got for free after the infamous ApocalyPS3 where PSN got hacked a few years back. Our reward was free games for not being able to login for a month! I ended up with Super Stardust HD, Little Big Planet, and inFamous as mine so I did well, but Super Stardust HD was the big surprise of the lot and I have been searching for a similar twin stick shooter ever since.

Who doesn’t love Arcade-Games?
Waves is a typical example for one of these. You have to eliminate the opposing balls as a ball. Sounds boring but this is not the case at all.
The Fun-part starts simply by the fact that there are several gamemodes. I personally just play three of them because they are the best in my opinion.
| Mode | Description |

Even though I’ve yet to 1CC the game, i can strongly recommend it for any fan of shooting games (shmups), because this is made by a developer who knows what makes one good.
Edit: 1 Credit Cleared it 3 times now. I like it even better than previously!
