Let's start with this: This is NOT a japanese style shmup. This game is an 100% euroshmup. But honestly, i dont care. This game is fun. A little slow yes, but the deep and original gameplay make more than up for it. So if you want to know how this plays: i have a simple explanation. In this game, you are garfield in space. The bullets, are little snacks. You want to eat as much as you can, but if you stop eating, you are gonna feel your tummy hurt. So you are just gonna continue! Also sometimes theres lasers and homing missiles which you dodge by doing a SICK FLIP! Best euroshmup ever 8.5/10
I love shmups, me. love 'em. This one is an immediate favourite. VERY highly recommended!

Very unique and innovative shmup, with very special mechanics, good scoring system, diverse game modes!
A novel twist on the shmup bullet absorption mechanic as popularized by Ikaruga. Here, instead of different bullet colors, the first bullet you touch activates a temporary shield that will absorb bullets for a limited time. This "shield time" will grant you more damage for absorbing more bullets and it can be extended by shooting enemies during the shield's active time. This opens plenty of opportunities for risk and reward situations. Some very nice polish both in-game and in the menus and plenty of opportunities for really sinking your teeth into highscore chasing if that's your thing. 👍 Oh, *and* you can do a barrel roll!
Langweilig
Woah, this game ooozes with visual and audio charm, super polished and so many awesome effects, what a blast to play! The absorption mechanic is really cool, adding this kinda ping-pong balancing act of "collecting" the enemies bullets and shooting some baddies! Really cool stuff, looking forward to soaking up more of it. Edit: it plays great on Steamdeck!
Awesome game!!! Soundtrack is fantastic along with the pretty visuals! Love the variety that the mechanics bring to the genre! You just have to try it for a little bit to understand it. It's not complicated, but you will "get it" if you give it an hour.
这个游戏,画面配色挺不错的,这就是这个游戏唯一的长处……正如评论区的某些人所说,这个游戏最大的缺陷,就是反复地重复——杂兵、弹幕、BOSS……好家伙,连背景也是换个颜色然后连素材都不改的?打得我都快睡着了 更何况这个游戏的系统十分奇怪,特效也特别的花,经常让人莫名其妙地撞了……如果想入手的话,建议等出了打折活动后再考虑吧……
Eine klare Empfehlung von meiner Seite. Ich habe mehrere Jahre schon keine Shmups mehr angerührt und freute mich sehr auf den Steam-Release von Schildmaid MX. Das Spiel brilliert mit sehr smoothem Gameplay und einem wunderschönen Design. Der Soundtrack ist ebenfalls überragend. Ich bin sehr gespannt, was das Spiel noch für mich in petto hat.
Great shooter, lots of action, unique gameplay, and killer soundtrack! What more do you want?
