The End of Skyflower
Hi everyone. It's been three years since Skyflower's release! I built this game as a freshman in high school -- and there were definitely many things that I could have done better. Number one on this list is continuity. Many improvements were never developed in time, and at this point, Skyflower has (regrettably) joined the long list of unfinished early access games.
For me, Skyflower was an incredible learning experience. It's my first game that I've ever brought to release. As I start my next projects, I've got an idea where the roadbumps will be, and I've got plans to handle them. First things first: no Early Access! I'm only putting out finished games, and if you'll stick with me, I hope you enjoy them!
About the Game
Fight your way to the top in this action-packed permanent death dungeon crawler!In a world of desolation and despair, a wanderer looked up and saw the endless sky staring back down at him. He would make it there, no matter what it took. Endless variations of randomly generated worlds and enemies await!
Challenge minibosses, complete puzzles, and shoot everything on your path to the skies. Bullet-hell style bosses guard the ends of the levels, so be prepared for hundreds of bullets blanketing your screen. Kill enemies, charge forward, pick up upgrades, combo power-ups, then die and do it all over again.
One day, you will make it to the glorious sky that beckons out for you!

Update 4: Another year went by, no updates. Just noticed this while reinstalling some games, pretty sure is doomed to remain ripware forever. DO NOT BUY.
Update 3: Remembered this game from over a year ago for some reason, checked back, still no word from dev, absolutely avoid.
Update 2: Still no updates and no word of whether this will be updated, would recommend as a pass at this point.
Update 1: Lack of updates makes this less of a must-buy, as the one obvious game-breaking bug is still not addressed. Still find it fun, but not playable beyond NG.
Fun twin stick shooter that is entertaining, if yet incomplete. The controls are pretty tight, and the initial slow movement of the characters is offset by some of the items' effects. I'd say "think of this as a stripped-down and still in early development Nuclear Throne," but they seem to fill different niches, at least to me.
There are some ui and graphical issues, like the lightning effects not leaving the screen in some cases, or the player character and some static objects changing size (very minimally, perhaps because of how they are rendered?) when moving the cursor while standing still or moving slowly. The main menu and in-game pause menu need to be worked over (as the dev has said he plans to do in the next update).
Overall, I feel it's definitely worth the money (whether full price or on sale) to pick this up.
Skyflower is an Early Access arcade shooter with roguelike elements. You traverse through procedurally generated dungeons while shooting at enemies and collecting powerups. Unfortunately, there's not much to it.
Granted, the game is in Early Access, but it looks (and feels) like it's the developer's first game. Much of the game is unbalanced, especially in the enemy projectile patterns and character skillsets. The artwork is all pixelated, but it lacks the charm and polish of other games in its genre. Furthermore, the developer doesn't seem to be too invested in updating the game.
To be fair, for $3, it seems like the kind of game you would expect at its price. However, you'd be better off playing the multitude of other arcade shooters on Steam. Vintage Year, for instance, is more polished and interesting, and is only a couple dollars more. Nuclear Throne is still the best in its class, even though it's also in Early Access. Those are just a couple examples of purchases more worth your money.
This game isn't ready yet. It is Early Access, and it does show. However, if you do buy this game, Make sure you press the o button a bunch of times when your character gets in game.

It's like Ubermosh or Overture, but in bullet hell form. This doesn't mean it's bad, though it does seem like a possible Unity asset flip (I don't know personally if it is or not). It's got plenty of pretty colors as well, three different classes categorized by their special attacks, and a score that is catchy at times, but also can be barren or non-existent. Hopefully the audio is just due to being early access 1.1.
I have no idea if some of the things I think are glitches are meant to be there though. There's no options menu or anything that explains the controls over than a quick explanation on WASD and how the mouse works in the game. I hit O and P at times, and random things happened, as if I were using special items, not to mention sometimes hitting Z or T and teleporting to the next level.
It has potential, and I'm anxious to see further builds. I don't regret the purchase and suggest it while it's on sale if this is your kind of thing.
