What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The reason is that there are many uncertainties at this point in the development of a shmup game that is premised on online two-player co-op play, and there are concerns that adjustments will not be sufficient after the full version is released. I hope that feedback during development will uncover potential issues.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It is expected to be completed by 2023.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I am planning to:
  • Currently, up to stage 2 can be played, but the full version is planned to have a total of 5 stages.
  • Currently, BGM and SE are provisionally implemented, but the full version is planned to play appropriate sounds.
  • Currently, when you clear Stage 2, you will transition to the score result screen, but the full version is planned to transition to the ending and staff roll after clearing the final stage.
  • Currently, the item "Special" on the title screen is not implemented, but the full version is planned to access bonus contents such as the function to view the machine models used in the work and the function to play audios.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the following elements are not implemented.
  • required
    • Stages 3-5
    • BGM, SE
    • Ending, staff roll
  • as much as possible
    • Browsing function of the machine model used in the work (bonus contents)
  • Upon user request
    • Score data recording function

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“At the moment, the full version is also planned to be playable for free.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“If you have any comments, please contact me on the Steam bulletin board, reviews, Twitter or support email.”

About This Game

"Strix STG" is a "Communication-Synchronized Bullet-Hell Casual Vertical-Scrolling Shooting-Game". Let's aim to capture all 5 stages while destroying enemies. You can also choose from 5 levels of difficulty.
* Up to stage 2 has been implemented at the start of early access.
* There is a possibility that the contents of the stage will be changed until the final version is released.
The best feature of this game is the ability to play two-player co-op online. Simple chat with two types of fixed phrases is available, so please use it for role sharing.

* Currently, there is no save function for play data, so it is not possible to record the score. I may add a save function in the future based on user feedback.
