This is the vertical slice alpha demo of SHMUPPER
Have you ever wanted to play a retro-style space shooter from a more immersive and engaging perspective? SHMUPPER is a dog-based arcade-style 3D SHMUP or “Shoot-em-up” that does just that! It tasks the player with the objective of battling waves of enemies through unique levels across the galaxy. It draws inspiration from classics in the genre such as Star Fox, Metal Slug, and Macross with a VR twist.
While inspired by the iconic titles mentioned previously, this game comes with a twist. While in VR, the movement of your ship is done primarily through the movement of your body! In order to steer, the player must lean or step forwards, backward, left, or right in order to maneuver through space.

I think it was fun, and I appreciate how experimental the control scheme is. However, the learning curve did test my motion sickness and ability to fly around; but you can get used to it.
I appreciate levels had a visible structure, with pillars and powerups elevating from the water, but I would've liked to have more things like that to shake up my expectations. Control scheme wise, I'm not sure why analog click is the dialogue continue prompt, and the physical menu buttons I've found to be *somewhat* annoying.
Ultimately I had fun with it, and I honestly think this game handles the minimal production art direction better than a lot of VR software.
Dude I loved your last release So, apk when??
