“What an apt title for a game..”, I was thinking to myself when I was reviewing Wingbreaker, an arcade shmup like no other on the iPad. At first glance it has a lot in common with most games in the same genre, there’s a plethora of weaponry to choose from and a bunch of alien [...]

For all intents and purposes, upcoming Japanese shmup Vectros looks like a one-trick pony, but a very pretty looking one. It is as if someone made a 3D third person game out of Geometry Wars and judiciously borrowed from Star Wars expansive catalogue of ships for ship design. Throw in level environments that would make [...]

After all these years, I would never imagine that the Apollo Lunar Landing Module would star in its very own iOS shmup (shoot-em-up) for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, titled B-Squadron: Battle for Earth. It’s one of several ships that you get the chance of using within the game, which involves dealing with an [...]

Frima Studio’s newest game A Space Shooter Blitz is doing a blitzkrieg on not one, not two but three different platforms, iOS, Android and Facebook, and the game is available for free on all three of them. The game is a bullet-hell shmup which places players in the role of Commander P. Jefferson in the [...]

I wish I found out about this sooner but Jamestown is an awesome indie shmup and an excellent lunch-time gameplay experience. I actually bought the game some time ago during one of the Humble Bundle events, but left it idle in my Steam account until recently. It turned out that the retro-graphics and the bullet [...]

The game, for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, is available [...]

Android gamers out there, here’s some good news for ya. ErnCon, the top-down multiplayer shooter by indie game developers Woo Games has gone gold. The one-month open beta has been a resounding success, resulting in several gameplay and interface improvements, new content, and sturdier game servers — with nearly-invisible lag and improved stability. To celebrate [...]

Do you get one of those games that you really want to like but at the end of the day you just want to throw it into the proverbial trash can after giving it numerous chances to prove itself (be it digital…or physical)? OrangePixel’s latest game Neoteria fits that description like a glove. The game [...]

Solo game developers are pretty cool in my books, often than not they are in pursuit of a singular vision. One-man studio, Woo Games has just released the beta version of a brand new space shooter for Android phones, titled ErnCon. ErnCon is a top-down – and very intense — multiplayer shooter for eight simultaneous players [...]

From the makers of Danmaku Unlimited comes Storm Strikers, an all new shmup for iOS devices. The game pays homage to golden classics of the 90s, such as Raiden and Striker 1945. What players can expect that along with this retro homage comes the same level of polish and intensity found in Danmaku Unlimited. Storm [...]
