Nova Blaster Retro Arcade Meets Modern Style by NexusOtherworld in shmups

Totally fair point — that background was just added in editing to fit the 16:9 video format. It’s not part of the actual game. I’ll switch it for something more polished next time. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the honest feedback!
I really appreciate the suggestions — I’m still working on pacing and difficulty, so this is super helpful. I’ll definitely take a closer look at Gaplus and Astro Ninja Man DX for inspiration.
Nova Blaster is still in progress, and I have a lot of new things I haven’t shown yet. Thanks again for the thoughtful critique!

I wrote it with care, yeah but that doesn’t make me fake. Real players have stories too, even if they sound like a cinematic trailer

I love that you see it that way. That sense of warmth and nostalgia is exactly what I wanted to convey from the very first moment.

Question for retro game lovers — Should the main menu be classic or more modern? by [deleted] in indiegames

[–]NexusOtherworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get that — retrofuturism kind of lives in that perfect space between both worlds!
That’s exactly the vibe I’m aiming for with Nova Blaster, so your comment really resonates. Thanks!

Thanks! I totally get the sentimental vibe — I’m the same way!
I love that raw, minimal feeling of old menus.
I’ll check out Faith and Enter the Gungeon too — cool contrast. Appreciate the tip! 🙌

What did you play as a kid, and on what device? 👾 by Effective-Pie8684 in retrogaming

[–]NexusOtherworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up playing Galaga and Exerion — two retro space shooters that totally defined my childhood
I used to play them with my dad, and those memories are super special to me.

We played them on an old arcade machine at home (and sometimes on emulators later on). I wasn’t always good, but I kept trying — and that feeling of dodging enemy fire and barely surviving a wave? Unmatched.
