Totally Shmup

Totally Shmup is a beginner-friendly retro-style shoot 'em up with both vertical and horizontal stages. You dodge and shoot your way through colourful levels, with sound and visuals inspired by the golden age of video gaming.

Stages and modes

The game has 9 stages. Easy and Normal modes have shorter stages with multiple paths, while Gauntlet mode features longer stages designed to be challenging. Nightmare Mode offers harder, randomised custom challenge levels, and Free Play lets you practise.

Weapons and movement

You use a primary weapon that switches between Wide and Focused Shots on the fly, and can unlock a choice of 4 charged-up secondary weapons. Regenerating health supports the beginner-friendly design. DPad, mouse and analog controls provide precise movement.
