SotS: Altoph - A Gradius Style SHMUP

Hi, about a year ago, me and a friend of mine decided to try our hand at game development, utilizing the Unity Game Engine, we have made the first level of our game.


Summit of the Stars: Altoph, is a SHMUP that takes heavy inspiration from R-Type and Gradius.
The game is meant to be challenging and a reimagination of classical SHMUPs.



Take control of a wanderlust alien spacecraft. Destroy a variety of enemies that have their own abilities, movements and powers. Empower your spacecraft with various upgrades and lost technologies. Survive and uncover the truth in the SotS universe.

Explore through debris and torn apart ships, scattered across the direction you are heading towards.

You are the final hope against the human onslaught and the unknown truth.







Everything was made by us, except for the music which we needed some help from friends to compose the soundtrack.

After some blood, sweat and tears we have the first level demo to show off and would love some peeps to check it out and give us feedback/criticism on the game.

We shall be releasing all resources other than the music on completion of the final project.

Controller support is almost there, you may have to tweak the settings on your own controllers



Big shoutout to Masashi27 for letting us remix and use his old composition "Beyond the Stars".

Can't really promise I'll play it but I can say it looks interesting so far. I've always liked horizontal SHMUPs more than vertical ones (thanks Space Impact). Good luck with your game.

Always cool to see SMWC users move on to their own games, and this is a real nice-looking shmup! Looking forward to seeing more from this!
