Hey everyone!
Since our game, Lazy Galaxy: Rebel Story is nearing its release, I've decided to publish a demo/preview version on itch.io : )
It's a squad-based shmup with roguelite elements and emphasis on narrative. You play as a robot named H-34-RT, who wakes up after 100 years of maintenance/sleep on his space station, only to find out that his creators are long gone. Find new allies, control your fleet and use special abilities to get towards the end.
Release Trailer:
I think it's pretty unconventional to put detailed plot in SHMUP (we wrote about 40 pages of script / dialogue), but I'm hoping this will work out, since we've found a way for the game flow not to "suffer," but rather benefit from this.
Demo / Preview Version is available here. It currently has 2 ships / 2 allied characters / 2 playable levels / local co-op support:

The game is going to be done on August 22. I'm hoping to prepare a separate full-version itch.io release (will notify here) right after I'm done with Steam release. Stay tuned for more devlogs / news.
