Description: "XYDONIA is an old school arcade horizontal shoot 'em up, inspired by the Japanese milestones of the genre, such as R-Type, Gradius and Darius. Our goal is to bring you a game that looks, sounds and feels exactly like one of those classics, but retaining its own identity at the same time. The game is currently being developed by a small team of 3 arcade junkies and has reached alpha stage."

Galacide [PC] (In Development) "Combining classic fast-paced shoot 'em up action with quick-thinking tactics of puzzlers, you must carefully match the right pieces to fly out of danger!"

[indieshmups]

Jetpack Squad [PC] (In Development) "Jetpack Squad is a SHMUP with a focus on speed, interactivity and explosions."

[indieshmups]

Steredenn [PC] (In Development) "a frenetic and chaotic space shooter, carved in big beautiful pixels, with insane boss battles."
