Are you one of those people who spends time wondering just what is the point of all those extra lives if you can’t put them to good use? It’s something that forthcoming Xbox Indie game Shoot 1Up is going to address.
Coming to you from the same people behind Weapon of Choice (and the yet to be released Grapple Buggy), you can expect lots (and lots) of frantic side-scrolling bullet hell as you command up to 30 ships! All at the same time! Take that, Ikaruga!
The information released for the game also promises:-
* 1UPs INSTANTLY enter the ACTION!
* Command over 30 ships at the SAME TIME!
* 2 Player coop for over 60 SIMULTANEOUS player ship INSANITY!
* WEAPONS UPGRADE as you collect more ships (And downgrade when you lose them so stay sharp!)
* Sacrifice ships for a BULLET-VAPORIZING BOMB which increases in power the more ships you’ve collected!
* Manic Shooting without all the wailing and gnashing of teeth–NORMAL GAMERS can actually enjoy this!
* Hardcore? Jump into the action several waves in for THUMB-TWISTING difficulty!
The game is expected to arrive some time in January 2010 and the meantime you can check out all the info via the developers website here. Also be sure to check them out on Twitter where there may be some free goodies handed out prior to launch.
