i love playing shmups on the iPad and have wanted to try making one for a long time. i finally got around to creating one and it’s available now on iOS, Android, and Fire OS! download it for some fast arcade fun - it’s free!

the game is a retro vector-display-style endless vertical space shoot’em up. you shoot down enemies in a series of waves with boss battles every 8 and the game gets harder and harder until you die.

i went to the M+DEV game development conference over the weekend. i had never driven up to wisconsin before and it turned out to be a really fun trip. the drive up was about two hours, so naturally i was worried that i would get bored and die (i’m not used to long drives) but it went by pretty quick by listening to an audio book. i was told by so many people that there’d be delicious cheese everywhere but i saw not a single slice the whole time!
