Shmup Boss

Shmup Boss is a 2.5D shooter with 3D graphics, a minimalist cartoony style and a quirky story. You destroy waves of enemies, build score multipliers through wave combos and work through five levels. Completing every level reveals a new segment of the story.

Combo scoring

Destroying wave combos increases your score multiplier. A combo timer shows how long your combo remains active, and extra scoring mechanisms add further ways to earn points. The game also has a Steam leaderboard. The campaign is short, but achieving high scores takes time; new players can complete it, while experienced players can pursue higher scores.

Levels and enemies

Each of the five levels has a distinct design. The first is made entirely of cubes, the second entirely of spheres, and the third of capsules, matching the game's story and lore. The game also features many enemy types and four bosses, each with unique mechanisms.
