Hi all! My first SHMUP game has an early demo available on steam and I’d love to get feedback ahead of Steam Next Fest.
In the Dead of Night is a grindhouse, anime, horror-inspired story with a hand-drawn, cartoony aesthetic about a monster-hunting nun but it’s really just a classic-style arcade shmup at heart. The game is still very much in development so its identity is evolving every day. So far, though, it’s a little bit bullet hell, a little bit b-movie, some survivor-like gameplay has crept in lately and there are a lot of comic book influences.
The demo includes two sections from the story mode and an arcade mode with co-op.
Feel free to leave any and all feedback here:
