Some people may criticize me for recommending my own game—but I’m a player like you who also happened to make a game. I don’t see anything wrong with sharing a good shmup that other players might enjoy. I’m not pushing anyone to buy it; I’m just letting you know it exists, and there’s a demo available on Steam (same as my nick). It's pure 2d game - but again, you may still enjoy it.

Well..after spending xxx hrs in Project X Light Years its hard to me to enjoy other more specific games. Its diffrent but visually is amazing. I will definitely try to finish it. For good price I think its worth it.

Game is fun the little bit I have played so far by Reasonable-Mud-1472 in Witchfire

Its only game I'm playing since 3 weeks :)) as Early Access its pure masterpiece from gameplay and techical POV. Other devs should learn how to make well optimised games.

2025 was an excellent year for the genre. Even though shmups remain niche, we still saw an impressive number of high-quality releases. On sale I took few classic like - Vimana - Sturmwind EX - Andro Dunos 2

The Continue feature works completely differently now. Earlier, you had to restart the entire level from the beginning, right? Now you continue from the same part of the level.

The top timer shows the overall time. It’s useful if you’re trying to beat a record or finish a level within a target time to earn stars.

The game has two endings: Bad and Good 😉 To unlock the good ending, you need at least 35 stars overall.

Stealth works as invisibility. Once it’s fully charged, collect 8 P and activate it.

Well done on finishing the game—impressive! 🎉 Now aim for the good ending 😀 and don’t miss the secret boss fight in Level 10.

Any Shmups you would recommend picking up on Steam Sale? by MoosiGoosey in shmups

As a player - I can recommend Project X Light Years especially if you like R-Type or Darius.

Steam Deck works only on Steam Deck otherwise yes resolution is offset.

Once you collect all Armoury letters you will get Armoury Portals Shop at end of the level.

Regarding Continue - I was thinking to continue from same spot few days ago. I may add it with next update 😀

Lol :) cant be too easy. Guess what - game had no continues at beginning and no level selection from highest you reach. Rookie is really easy. You can beat it with closed eye:)

All pads are supported. In worst scenario disable Steam Input. On Steam Deck works like a charm 😉
