Universal Starseed: Origin (by Crescent Moon Games)

Hahaha, your comment made my day ^^ It's called pixel art, not everyone likes it tho so I do get your point. I love pixel art so to me it looks good, but I do agree that this game is a bit too squary, it's beautiful but a bit confusing with the background

 

It remains crystal clear on my iPad Air. So don't worry about that

 

It really does.

Insta buy. Although the deer God was god awful...so I hope this is actually playable.

 

I find it very playable!


*whizzes about in a spacesheep*


PEW PEW PEW!

QS =D

 

Looking forward to downloading this tonight. My kind of game

Using SpriteKit too...nice...have you tested with iOS9 at all and noticed if the new Metal support gives better performance?

 

This voxely art style plus the controls gave me the immediate good feelings and positive thoughts, as if two of my all-time favorites had a gorgeous baby...Space Strafer and Helix.

I'm definitely glad that we have a sensitivity slider for the controls. They work absolutely fine here for me, for an intense shmup though, i only would consider them mediocre.

Great job on the music!
The first track reminded me strongly of a certain licensed track from the upcoming thread's first (i guess) video.
Just saying, volume sliders for sfx AND music would never be wrong I tend to have rather louder sfx than music. In the end it's the sound of shooting and explosions which suck me into a shooter.

A lot of replay value here to be found and addictive as hell - recommended.

PS: great names for the ships and co.

 

In case you missed it before, you can listen to, or get hold of the soundtrack to Starseed right now, for FREE (or feel free to throw a few pennies in the pot). I've made my other soundtracks available for free too, so grab 'em if you so desire.

 

Thanks!

Tested loads on iOS 9 and actually iOS 9 isn't brilliant with SpriteKit. The frame rate is a tad lower and there's some small odd bugs still in there. I imagine it'll all be ironed out in 9.1.

 

Hey thanks for playing! Really glad you're enjoying it.

 

Thanks everyone for playing! Just waking up here in Canada. See you on the high score tables (I'm already beaten!!!)

 

This game dominates all.
Stopped playing to say how much I liked it before I forget.
One of 5 shoot em games I ever liked

 

Wow! Thanks!

 

Does the game support MFi controllers?

 

Not this version but the update I'm working on right now does (I just got my hands on a controller).

Really though I think it plays better with touch.

 

Wonderful game !

 

\o/ Thanks!

 

Yes we look at screenshots and videos. Apparently you just don't like games with the retro pixel look. The graphics are supposed to be low-res, that is a popular style these days.

 

I'm so sad ;~; I can't play since I'm ios 8 not 8.1
