Visual Style

Wings Of Bluestar is a horizontal hand painted and frame by frame animated HD game, no photobashing, 3D nor pre-rendered assets are used.

Gameplay

Wings Of Bluestar is a shoot'em up game that takes the solid gameplay of horizontal arcade shmups and modernizes it for modern consoles use. The game achieves this by adding a lot of features like HD graphics, trophies, deep story mode with dialog choices and multiple endings, gamepad, keyboard and arcade stick support, a shop to unlock artworks, extra credits, sound test, extra game modes etc, online leaderboard and more.

Gameplay-wise, the player has access to two ships (characters), each with its own control, weapon upgrades and scoring system.

Wings Of Bluestar is a hybrid between classic shoot'em ups and "bullet hells" (Danmaku's), so each player can have their fun.
Despite the game being horizontal, it also has a lot of vertical scrolling as well to add to the action.
