Love this freaking game brings me back to my childhood, and the soundtrack is crazy good please keep making more updates and more features if possible. Thank you.
Just want to say this is one of the most fun and addictive shmups I've played in recent years. Totally turns the tables on the regular old formula. INTENSE!
Thank you! The effects are a combination of pre-rendered animations as well as pixelized CPU and GPU particle systems, running in Unity’s URP. Check out the blog post about the rendering and the VFX setup for some additional info.
Well done guys this Shoot em up is absolutely Awesome and love the original power up absorbing bullet shield system and loads of amazing game play value, by far the best bullet hell/heaven game out there yet, total masterpiece, love it....Both Thumbs UP!!!
Freaking awesome game! Love the ost, gameplay, addictive scoring system and there's a practice mode to boot, so I can die at the same point as many times and as quickly as I like xD Seriously though I think this is my favourite hori stg - I'm playing so many others but this feels like home - great work hitp!!!!
Absolutely fantastic side scrolling shooter. Perfectly fits the description of easy to play, hard to master. Different ships with very different mechanics switch up the gameplay and can add extra challenge for those skilled enough to master them. Fun bosses and a unique bullet hoarding mechanic I've never seen before in a SHMUP. Flips the genre on it's head until those bullets go red.
Inmstantly bought, great, easy to understand mechanics and difficulty pitched just right so far, had a few goes and having a blast. WIll most likely pick it up on Switch later as well. Top work!
A STEAL for the price! Insanely high quality Shmup with innovative mechanics and feel, and crazy good visuals. Just keep an eye on those homing missiles and your own shields, pilots! BUY THIS NOW to support good Shmup devs and new games!!!
Bought, downloaded, and installed on day 1 --> Addicted since second 1! Most probably THE most exciting game in years! Well done boys! Kudos and a big thank you for the fun I have with Schildmaid.
Found this via Retro Asylum.. Looks beautiful and fun! UN Squadron is one of my favorite shoot em ups too. Would definitely pick this one up if it releases on Switch (and probably for my Mac too if it's able to run it).
Thank you wiedo! Yes, the DANGER state in UN Squadron inspired our core mechanic. And we do have serious plans to release Schildmaid MX on Switch and perhaps other platforms as well.
