We Made It To Steam..........Now What?!?!?!
NEW BUILD!!!!! \(^o^)/ (*˘︶˘*)
Description
Release date: Now
Galagan's Island

¤HELP US GET TO EARLY ACCESS¤

Galagan's Island is the first release from Skinny Jeans Death Studios, an independant game studio started and operated by 13 year old self taught programmer Jonathan Cunningham.
Galagan's Island is our Arcade style Space Shooter with loving homage to classic arcade style and difficulty.
Featuring 25 levels of handcrafted whimsical charm....that almost invite you not to destroy them. LOL
Galagan's Island utilizes a dynamic scaling of ship abilities. As you progress through the game, your ability to perform improves as well.
As we release and update new content, this feature will be developed further with the introduction of new ships.
Is it really a feature to have enemy AI that includes moving/changing formations & attack? Or is that actually mandatory? I mean look at Pac-Man guys...stop calling doing your job properly...a feature.
Unique flight controls. Cause I said so dammit! We wern't gonna let you just shoot! HA!
PIXELS!!! Nope, not because we are broke, or Indie, or can't draw assets.....BECAUSE PIXELS ARE KING BABY!!
Optimized for both keyboard and gamepad controls.

Original Soundtrack featuring smooth jazz and hip-hop styles, personalized trip-hop tracks, 8 bit chip-tunes & 4th wall frenzies....not to mention a slew of rising Indie musicians ...brought to you courtesy of Forever Humble Productions.

Galagan's Island is in a complete state, and although i don't want to label this Early Acess, we plan to update regularly. We will continue to grow and develop the game....if we have you....the players....we want to keep making this game a better experience for you.
First Unity build by the way.
Although this build does not have the optional control activated, it has been programmed for controls utilizing Intel's Real-Sense technology. Whenever possible, Jonathan & Skinny Jean Death Studios will develop our products with these optional control systems, allowing us to also share our games with the physically challenged worldwide. We will even commit to personal programming of our games to match any households specific needs.

Finally....this isn't the same old SHMUP you might be expecting...I'm not saying we broke new ground...however.....this is a genre we love greatly...we didn't feel right just trying the same old methods. We really attempted to create a casual SHMUP....strange as that may sound...lol....we attempted to make the game play seem calm and relaxing (the music really helps), non challenging even to a point....but it's a false sense of security we are trying to provide the player. We hope this attempt in itself will help bring a new approach to this great genre that we love.

Initial launch will be for PC/Mac
Once we get it to a state everyone is happy with, we will bring it to as many platforms as possible.

With your help...if we make it onto Steam, proceeds will simply go towards our next project.

Hello Steam. We are ready for you if you'll have us!

Ok cool...apparently people can read

I am just a bystander in this, but was feeling like curious george the 'monkey', and read this before the section you copied and pasted;

"This build has been designed for YouTube Let's Play channels and game reviewers.

It allows you to skip back and forth through the levels, allowing you to better video capture action anywhere in the game.

Or maybe just sneak a peek at that boss you can't get to yet!

This build can be downloaded by request only....unless of course $1000 sounds good to you.

Contact us @ Galagansisland@gmail.com to request a copy."

Please do not post garbage on green light, it's games like these that keep it alive.
