Winter Sale



The Winter Sale is here. With the recent 1.2.1 update, now is a good time to give this challenging game a go, even if you are a beginner to shoot'em ups.

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

Coming Soon: Yellow Trouble



My next game will be Yellow Trouble, an 8-way water gun blasting horizontal 2D arcade co-op shoot ‘em up, with ducks?! It can also be played as a run 'n gun with action RPG elements. Check out the Steam page for more details!

Ver 1.2.1 Update (More Credits)



This update increases the credits received when players reach any ending across all difficulties, with higher difficulties granting even more. This should incentivize players to credit feed to the end in order to learn the layout of the later missions. The credits received for completing the game should compensate for the added credits needed to beat it.

The non-1CC entry criteria for mission 9 has also been reduced from a cumulative destroy rate of 90% to 80%. Players will still need to be aggressive when credit feeding, but it should be doable with familiarity of the missions. Beating mission 8 without continuing in Arcade difficulty or higher will always grant entry to mission 9 regardless of destroy rate.

Time to get back to the battlefield and complete those objectives!

Ver 1.2.1 Update Notes:
  • Increased the amount of credits received upon reaching an ending across all difficulties.
  • Reduced the cumulative destroy rate needed to enter mission 9 with continues from 90% to 80%.
  • Fixed an exploit in team play that allows entry into mission 9.

Developer Attempts 1CC - Cat C



With Novice Mode added to version 1.2, I can now showcase one of the bonus helicopters, Cat C (unlocked by getting Ending A). I am not as proficient with this more technical helicopter which allows altering the firing pattern between Cat A's and B's, but the much easier difficulty lets me achieve that 1CC, albeit with some silly mistakes that the commentary will highlight. Try out Novice Mode or Cat C if you haven't played the game in a while!
