ION STORMFIRE

[Note from Developer [27/12/2025]

Hi, I'm very sorry it's taking so long to get this game finished. This is a first attempt at making a game and it's been tough trying to balance work, life and make this. I still very much want to make the best shoot em up I can as a massive fan of the genre. Currently I am aiming to finish with a view to release in December 2026 and I'll do my best to make that. - Mo]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fast paced shoot em up played across 12 levels through space, time and beyond.

Point your ship in any direction, deciding constantly between extra firepower (firing in any 2 directions) and movement. Or deploy the directional shield to block bullets from a single direction, point your ship and dodge simultaneously.

1) Standard Turret (Right Stick) fires in any direction but locks the ship in place while used.

2) Point ship in any direction (RB + Right Stick) then fire turret in any direction (Right Stick)

3) Concentrate all fire in any direction(RB +Right Stick) Ship can't move.

4) Deploy directional shield (LB + Right Stick) ship is able to move when shield is used

5) Deploy Shield and point ship (LB + RB + Right Stick) ship is able to move when shield is used

6) Beware explosions. They kill and different enemies have different sized explosions

The enemy, The Repeaters, a fearsome army of AI nanobots, able to take just about any shape, have overrun the galaxy and enslaved the Earth. Our only chance, the ION STORMFIRE, an experimental ship powered by a chained lightning drive. We've equipped her with all we've got, now it's up to you, pilot.

Arcade mode has 3 lives and Saga mode has only one life with no energy bars or easy early levels. This is a fight from start to finish, protect yourself at all times.

The ship's maneuverability, weapons, shield and whatever you're able to pick up along the way will be all that stands between you and utter defeat at the hands of a relentless and powerful enemy force that is even able to manipulate time itself.

Please Note: Currently only a twin stick analog controller is supported as a control method. It is recommended that you warm up your hands before play, take regular breaks and limit playtime as games call for repetitive actions. At least a 5 minute break for every 60 minutes of play is recommended. Search on the internet for "How to avoid injury when playing computer games" for more info."

Anything shown in screenshots, trailers or demos may change drastically as development of the game progresses.
