Heli-Cats News

Learn where all 18 hidden beacons are in Heli-Cats' Arcade Mode with this video. Some of these are trickier to destroy because beacons need focus shots to take damage, but knowing their locations helps prepare your attack. Destroying all of them in a single run will expose the hidden last boss at the end of Mission X!

I recorded a no miss Trial Mode run after the enemy bullet visibility update. It's much easier for me to do this than before. The demo also has this unlimited armor mode featuring the first two missions, but a fun challenge is not getting hit at all (no miss). Can you do it too?

The Steam Summer Sale is here. Now is a good time to give the challenging Heli-Cats a go, even if you are a beginner to shoot'em ups.

You can get it with my other games in a bundle as well. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/45275/The_DrearyWeary_Collection/

After several months of experimenting and borrowing what I learnt from my other shoot'em up Yellow Trouble, I have finally found a set of color changes that improve enemy bullet visibility across the 10 stages without needing to dull or dim the backgrounds, all while still retaining the yellow-red or blue-red combinations.

This should boost overall survivability, especially for those having a harder time differentiating between two elevations.

Hello, the demo for my next game Yellow Trouble is out now! The demo has two main modes: Arcade and Quest.

In Arcade Mode, test your shoot'em up skills through the first 2 stages of the game. Learn how to shoot and move in 8 directions with the aim lock. Master how to use the pulse system. And aim for a 1CC (1 credit clear) with a HISCORE for each of the 3 characters on the Steam leaderboards.

In Quest Mode, the goals are different. Level up your character and skill tree to find the FASTEST way to clear this free roaming run and gun style adventure with action RPG elements. Or ignore the speedrun and simply spend time to explore and max out the skill tree to see what benefits the different skills offer.

Both modes support up to 3 players co-op, so try it with some friends locally or via Steam remote play. You can earn credits and unlock Training Mode just like in the main game as well.

The demo may still contain some bugs so please report them on the community hub. As an unknown solo developer, this helps me a lot and I appreciate your participation. If you enjoy the demo, please tell more people about it and wishlist the game. Thank you very much!
