[i]Skyflower[/i] 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 [i]is[/i] 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. [i]Vintage Year[/i], for instance, is more polished and interesting, and is only a couple dollars more. [i]Nuclear Throne[/i] 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.
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. [strike]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.[/strike]

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.
“Skyflower will probably be in Early Access for a month or two, as we collect feedback and adjust the game.” A big lie! The game is out now nearly 3 months ... There wasn`t even an update since release. Still no Exit Button ... still no balancing, still lots of bugs, graphical issues, no settings at all ... you even cant mute the terrible music! Multiplayer does not work at all It seems abandonded ... a rip off ... as many games nowadays on Steam ... Dont buy! Even not fun for 5 minutes And dont be bothered about my playtime, played it at my girlfriends account, sadly too long to refund it. But here I will refund it now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvHFJ9wzPJE&feature=youtu.be 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.
A game that puts your dodging skills up to the test and when you die it gets extremely frustrating, especially when the death screen mocks you.
Definition of Early access trash. Game was abandoned by dev to never be finished. Menu is broken, with no way to exit game. Terrible graphics, no systems explained, 3-4 hits to die, lose all progress, giant waves of bullets that take over all of screen and unavoidable. Hero powers that don't really work. Skip this and don't look back. 1/10.
О, жалкая пародия на Nuclear Throne, который является жалкой пародией на что-то ещё. Скучно, однообразно, безвкусно. Цветовая гама кислотная и тусклая, рисовка дешевая и без стиля. Встречил кучу багов, хотя разработчик говорит, что одиночный режим полностью завершен... Ну правда, первый забег, а мне уже генерирует непроходимые стены, враги умирают ещё до своего появления, а после убийства первого босса всё зависло. Браво! Очередная игра уровня бесплатных браузерок.
Skyflower is an abandoned Early Access retro pixel twin stick survival shmup. While the gameplay isn't the worst I've seen for this kind of game, the retro graphics look awful, and the game is ultra simplistic as a result of it being abandoned by the developers. $4.50 is too much to pay for retro pixel abandoned shovelware like that.
Thanks for the key from Daniel Doan. 虽然目前玩的时间不长,但也算是大致摸清了游戏的套路 wasd移动,鼠标控制射击与技能,按Shift微操躲弹幕 可单机也可联机(联机没试过) 游戏整体上的精神就是不断作死,消灭小怪,捡钱升级,挑战Boss 手感还不错,但弹幕比较密,而可利用的地形不太多 自机的判定好像是全身的,而射程也并非无限,所以打起来比较难 (两次死在Boss关,也不知道击破之后是会继续还是就此结束,之后再去试试) 目前有三个角色,属性上并没有太大的区别,感觉技能比较废,没多大用处 游戏的BGM很不错,跟Black Shell的其他游戏相比风格不太相同 有点偏日式弹幕游戏的感觉(而且有些道具名也是罗马音)
