Developer Shane McCafferty has an intriguing-looking shoot ’em up in the works right now called Starseed. There’s a lot of shmups out there, but Starseed‘s got a unique visual style going for it. It takes place atop a spinning circular space station, kind of like flying around the outside of a Halo, um…halo. You fly in to the station, and then fight enemies on and around it as you lock into orbit, then trying to destroy the station. All the ships have this kind of flat look on top of it, which actually has a cool style, though the combnation may help to make it feel a bit nauseating for some folks. Check out video of a level below:

Color me intrigued. The game is still in the middle of development, but McCafferty is on the Touch Arcade forums, posting footage of the game and answering people’s questions, so hop into that forum thread if you’re curious and have any questions. This shmup could be something really cool if it all comes together.
