shmup

In the not too distant future, the Planet Earth was on an alien horde path of destruction, composed of hyper-advanced machines. Volunteers who set out to fight this force were being wiped out when a group of engineers and scientists made up of people from all over the world built B.L.I.T...

I am thinking about making a turn based shmup prototype. The idea is that everything including bullets do not move unless the player inputs a command. So I think how this would work is that there would be a global object that controls everything and each object reacts based on input. Am I...

Hello fellow GameMakers! For the better part of 3 years I've been working hard on creating an original, accessible and polished SHMUP; something that looks familiar, yet plays very differently. And I'm thrilled to be able to say that it's finally out in the wild! The Skywell Saga is currently...

Hello, dear GameMaker Community members.;) First a few words off-topic: My work was never connected with the development of games, but I always wanted to try my hand at this difficult matter, which has now become my favorite hobby. I participated in the development of a few games in GameMaker...

Tried focusing on completing a game (couldn't do it) and thought a shmup would be easy to start with. Was going to copy Capcoms 1942, but ended up making an endless shooter to avoid level design/ get something done quicker. You collect weapons to gain points and kill enemies to mange your play...

WELCOME TO THE GREAT WAR. The UNFP's been kicked in the teeth by a G'ell invasion force and humanity's last hope is its fleet of experimental DSP MkI Forward Assault Fighters and anyone marshall enough to strap in and forcefully accept some apologies. Luckily this planet's full of all kinds of...

Hello everyone! We just released our new game on Steam and we would like showing it to you! Super Captain 3D is a shmup where you are a Super Hero defending Earth! The gameplay gravitates towards more of a classic feel like Space Invaders rather than being too bullet hell based. Theres...

Hi, I almost complete my new game for iOS and Android devices This game will be available 11.17.2018

I had the weekend off, and I chose to use it the only way I know how and that's make a quick game. At first it started as simple art, because I wanted to make art. Then it turned into a simple game jam sort of thing. This project helps me get better at art. WHAT IS IT: Cloud Cover is a simple...

Hey there! I have published my game "Phobos Rescue", on which you control a ship in a no-return mission in order to save the colonists of the Mars satellite "Phobos". The thing is, instead of shooting your way through everything like a traditional "top-view starship game", your ship doesn't have...

Celestial Raid is a vertical shmup created using Game Maker. It is a blend of old-school shmup with occasional bullet-hell elements. I plan to have a shmup that is non-linear, that you can buy upgrades and new ships (kinda like Dariusburst Chronicles Saviour). This game is in development and the...

Hey, I'm new to Game Maker and I'm working on a horizontal shmup. I wanted to implement a shotgun blast animation, but the animation I created will abruptly stop when I let go of the keyboard key I have it assigned to, and the animation will resume when I press it again. I want it so that the...

[CLOSED FOR NOW BUT ALWAYS DOWN TO MEET ARTISTS/DEVS IF YOU WANT TO SEND YOUR INFO.] Looking for some retro-ish style art for a small scrolling shooter i'm making similar to snes shoot em ups... This is a fairly small project with basic animations, 3 frames probably and some static...
