About This Demo

Learn how to use the power of Shockwaves to destroy your enemies and also to score the highest points.
You can either charge and release your own massive Shockwave or use the ones released by destroyed enemies to your advantage, timing is the key, just keep in mind, the size of the enemies Shockwave depends on their sizes.











Shockwave Triggers is a pure arcade game, which is thanks to its tight controls, tiny hitboxes for both player and bullets, simple but effective mechanics and the fully customizable support of gamepads, keyboard and arcade sticks.

In Shockwave Triggers, you can cancel most enemy bullets by releasing your Shockwave super attack, or by timing the explosions of enemies, since these do also create their own shockwave when dying. The enemies shockwave's size depends on the enemy's size and it doesn't hard the player.

Not only for attacking, but you can also use Shockwaves to get higher scores, it's all about timing and learning enemies behaviors.

Shockwave Triggers also rewards the player for being risky thanks to its bullets grinding system; getting closer to enemies bullets makes your fire power stronger and also recharges your super attack meter.




Shockwave Triggers is a high resolution vertical pixel art shoot'em up with colorful and sharp visuals. Everything on screen is hand made/painted and all animations are made traditionally frame by frame. As for the art style, the game aims to offer a retro anime look from the beloved 90s.



Also, the game offers a proper Tate mode for player with vertical mounted screens.





Each game has a story, even a super "arcady "vertical shooter. In Shockwave Triggers, you have to save your little sister from the Empire who kidnaped her. Somehow, they have a certain use for her in their plan to dominate this post apocalyptic world that relies on crystals to get power.

- Difficulties: The game offers 4 levels of difficulty, to each their own.
