Hi guys.
We are currently in the play-testing phase of our latest game "Doodle Galaxies XL". Coming to the iPad soon. (And iPhone later)

It's an oldskool style shmup (shooter), with hand drawn graphics, and original c64 inspired music.

you can check out some screens here :

I'll have a gameplay vid up soon too.

If you have 5 mins to have a look, we'd much appreciate your feedback on how it's looking.

    Interesting. The visuals look clean and polished. I'm looking forward to seeing a video of this app because I would love to see the game in action.

    All these years and I never realized that the space shuttle was armed with a frickin' blue laser!

    Looks good so far. I like the one eyed purple alien (purple people eater?) and the bulbous UFO the best. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

    Are the enemies traversing horizontally across the screen? Or do they come in from all angles?

    yeah, they are my fave 2 bad-guys too.

    The game has a fair number of different enemies. Some you must kill, some you just have to survive and avoid.
    We have stuff that files down the screen
    Stuff that comes at you
    Stuff that comes down and shoots.
    We have enemies that come from the sides dropping bombs and the like at you

    And them we have the boss-like enemies.
    The Purple dude is a boss. He comes on the screen, and stops menacingly.....
    He then shoots at you in a pattern, whilst moving around (again in a pattern)
    This gives us a not quite "Bullet Hell" play mechanic....more of a "Bullet oh blimey!" kind of feel.

    We have a few more bosses too that do similar stuff, but with differing attack patterns, and 1 boss is actually a set of "invader" style bad guys that you need to kill before they get to you.

    We also have powerups (3way, Shields, smartish bomb etc)

    And it's a little known fact that they fitted the later shuttles with an awesome glowing blue lazer to fight off the martian moonmen in the late 80's.

    I think it's the best thing we have done to date, just hope everyone else thinks so when we launch it. :)

    Would love to know what you guys think

    wooo. Am downsizing for the phone, and it's going much more smoothly/easily than I thought it would.

    I love the Salad.
