Schildmaid MX

Schildmaid MX is a 2D shoot ’em up in which you pilot one of three space fighters against an invasion fleet threatening your planet. Its Schildmaid technology absorbs enemy projectiles, turning them into scoring opportunities and power for your ship. When your shield runs out, danger time begins and you need to change your strategy.

Modes and stages

The game has four modes, with different challenges for different skill levels and play styles:

• Jaeger Mode: a difficulty curve designed for beginners, with checkpoints automatically saved after each cleared stage.
• Krieger Mode: instant action and a frantic challenge for veteran shoot ’em up players.
• Chimera Mode: an endless survival gauntlet.
• Sieger Mode: a short, difficult run that tests your mastery of the game’s mechanics.

Extra versions of Jaeger Mode and Krieger Mode push scoring and survival beyond their original limits. Across most modes, multiple loops progressively introduce new enemies and situations. More than 40 handcrafted stages are spread across the modes.

Ships and secrets

You can choose from three ships and trigger multiple secret boss fights through specific actions and achievements. The game also has unlockable achievements and titles for your player profile.

Scores and presentation

Online leaderboards include viewable replays and statistical breakdowns. The soundtrack is by Ed Tremblay of Studio Mudprints, and an optional CRT display emulation gives the game a nostalgic look.
