Voxel Shooter: a shoot 'em up where you outgun the enemies, build your ship however you want, and die enough to actually try every build. #gamedev #shmup #bullethell #roguelite store.steampowered.com/app/4579660/…

Lost Viking — the one nobody expects. The hidden shmup buried in StarCraft II's campaign. I loved it. But you had to mash Space to fire faster, and it wrecked my hand. That frustration is LITERALLY why my game auto-fires. No mashing, ever. True story.
Screenshot of the Lost Viking mini-game from StarCraft II. A small green fighter ship at the bottom faces several blue-and-gold enemy ships firing cyan projectiles, set in space beside a large planet and scattered asteroids.

Geometry Wars I know, not a "real" scrolling shmup. But its design purity and the way no two runs feel alike stuck with me. That per-run randomness is the backbone of my roguelite structure.
Screenshot of Geometry Wars. A dark grid arena exploding with bright neon particle trails in orange, blue, purple and green, swirling chaotically against a black background. Score and highscore counters glow in green at the top corners.

Ikaruga The color system: match your polarity to survive. Pure tension, pure genius. I flipped it. In my game color is offensive, not defensive: you switch to hit each enemy on its weakness, not to shield.
Screenshot of Ikaruga in vertical format. A small ship at the center fires two thick white beams upward while dense patterns of blue and red bullets spread symmetrically around it. "MAX CHAIN" score labels glow in blue and red over dark industrial structures.

Super E.D.F. Clear a wave cleanly and it spawns MORE enemies for more credits. It rewards playing well, not just surviving. I kept that greed loop: perfect runs throw extra enemies at you, for extra rewards. Safety vs payoff.
SNES screenshot of Super E.D.F. A small blue fighter jet on the left faces a massive yellow mechanical boss on the right, in an industrial metal corridor. Orange bullets scatter across the screen. A green shield bar and score sit at the top.

Super Aleste A whole spread of weapons, each with its own feel, and you swap between them on the fly. That's core in my game: four weapons, one button to switch mid-fight to whatever the situation needs.
SNES screenshot of Super Aleste. A small white ship at the bottom fires upward at a large mechanical enemy exploding in orange and white blasts, over a green jungle-and-river landscape. Score reads 170280 at the top.

I made a co-op roguelite shmup. Here are the 5 shmups that shaped it. The 5th one is the reason my game has no fire button at all. 🧵

Ha, honestly making a game and being good at it are two very different skills. I designed it, playtesters obliterate it. That's just how it goes 😅 Would love to see what you make of it though, feedback always welcome

Bullet heaven + JRPG roguelite is a wild combo, curious how the progression layers feel. Good luck for Next Fest.

Stase Games @stasegames.bsky.social · 16/06/2026
Story mode for newcomers is a smart angle, and the art looks adorable. Going in. We hit the same problem but I went a different route: in my game, solo stays the technical bullet hell, but co-op (2-4 players) is the easier and more fun way in for newcomers. Different philosophies for the same wall.

Haven't played Islets but I think I get the idea, I'd need to actually try it to have a solid take. Either way, the player is already busy dodging, so taking aim off their plate is smart design. And if it feels better in playtesting, that's the signal that matters.

Heading in the right direction, keep at it. Tunable assist strength is smart design: hardcore players can turn it off, casuals can crank it up. Everyone wins.

Genre depends on your vibe. Bullet hell with co-op: Warding Witches. Cozy puzzle: Knick Knack Stack. Co-op bullet hell roguelite: Voxel Shooter (mine, biased of course). Plenty more in the carousel worth scrolling.

It's seriously awesome. I gave it a try, and it's two intense minutes that just keep repeating. The speed slows down when you shoot, and the music is really catchy. I'm going to keep trying until I beat it (I'm 7 seconds short).

Touhou: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil = classic. Sky Force Reloaded = modern arcade with progression. My favorite: Super Earth Defense Force on SNES, if you can find a way to run it. Voxel Shooter could fit too (mine, free demo): roguelite progression, your build grows as you go, optional co-op.

Stase Games @stasegames.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
Jjust shipped a squad mechanic in my shmup, enemies now attack together instead of solo. But it just reads as "more enemies on screen", not actual coordinated threat. Any gameplay or visual ideas to make a squad feel like a squad? Working on Voxel Shooter, all takes welcome.
On the left is the player; on the right are two enemies at the top (acting alone) and a squad of four blue enemies, with several friendly and enemy shots in between

100% this. The 'not the only thing you do' part is what makes the persistence harder. How's the demo doing post-launch?

Makes sense. If players aren't near the edge, low-velocity spawns won't bite. You could either make edges punishing (spawn acceleration, center pressure), or go with the precise markers you mentioned. Precise markers feel like the cleaner read to me, players react to a point not a region.

Stase Games @stasegames.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
Glad I could give you some motivation. That's exactly what Bullet Fest does for me: connecting with other devs and sharing is the best part. Going from 55 to 75 wishlists has been a nice morale boost too. If you pick up the devlog again, you've got at least one reader.

Eyes for me. Simple enough that color swaps (white/yellow/red) read clearly for threat levels. Question: is the whole edge lit intentionally, to hide exact spawn points and add tension? I'm building something similar, would love to hear your reasoning.
