‘Shooting Stars’ Coming July 9th, New Trailer Features Celebrity Parodies Out the Wazoo

Back in April, Bloodirony Games announced their quirky shoot ’em up roguelike mashup Shooting Stars, which is set to be published by Noodlecake Games. It’s a story about aliens that have disguised themselves as celebrities and the dude who is trying to stop them with, among other things, a cat that shoots rainbow lasers out of its mouth. Let me say that again: A CAT THAT SHOOTS RAINBOW LASERS. We liked the cut of the game’s jib right away, and today I’m happy to announce that Shooting Stars will be hitting the App Store on July 9th. Check out the brand new trailer.

In case you can read really fast, or you played the trailer in slow-mo, you’ve seen that there are dozens of celebrity parodies in Shooting Stars. It really cracks me up. I also love scrolling shooters and pixel art, so this one should be right up my alley. If you’re digging the look of it too, then look for Shooting Stars to launch on iOS for $2.99 with no IAP on July 9th, with an Android version coming in the weeks that follow.
