Shooting Stars! out now!

For us, this is probably one of the craziest moments since we have founded Bloodirony Games – 'cause today, shit just got real and we couldn't be prouder!

But to skip my usual emotion-filled jabbering let's jump right into it.
In the name of the Bloodirony Team, I am beyond excited to announce that Shooting Stars is finally available at the AppStore.

About Shooting Stars!

Shooting Stars! is a mobile roguelike shoot 'em up. It's all about evil aliens, superstars, cats and rainbow lazers. Aliens have secretly conquered the earth and replaced all the famous pop-culture superstars by installing evil marionettes serving one purpose only – to control all human life. The sacred rainbow unicorn made it your mission to free the imprisoned stars, fight back the evil aliens and restore the balance of entertainment on planet earth. 

AppStore: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shooting-stars!/id1000418188?ls=1&mt=8 This game is the answer to one of the most important questions in life: "I can haz lazer kitty?" Yes you can! Shooting Stars is a refreshing colorful and funny take on the classic arcade shoot'em up, bullet hell, shmup, space invader like, whatever you want to call it - but finally, with evil aliens disguised as superstars, cats and rainbow lazers.

Shooting Stars is coming July 9th

As most of you may know, we've spent the last six months working non-stop to create the worlds best mobile game called Shooting Stars! This game strives to combine great gameplay, super easy controls and lots and lots of fun. Or in other words, we drank about 12 megatankers of coffee, fred bull and horst limo (they should start paying us for this shameless product placement).

And as the first reviews and hands on are coming in, it seems like we've done a pretty good job! But hey... we are not here to tell you how awesome we are, we are here to tell you, how awesome every single one of you is! Without your help and feedback, we wouldn't have made it this far! Thanks a million! (delivered with rainbow glitter)

And since you are super important to us, we want to share a huge secret with you. Are you ready?

🎈Shooting Stars will be available July 9th for iOS🎈

Add the date to your calendar (ics file)

For us, this announcement feels like birthdays, international burger day, rainbow unicorn day and stroke a kitty day coming all at once! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, isn't it? So, we've decided to put together a new Release Trailer just for this super awesome! Ready, set, watch!

AppStore: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shooting-stars!/id1000418188?ls=1&mt=8 This game is the answer to one of the most important questions in life: "I can haz lazer kitty?" Yes you can!

Android Version coming later that July

We did not forget about you fellow Android folks. Shooting Stars is coming for Android in July too but we need to do some more polishing and testing. And everyone knows that shipping a buggy version sucks. 

Except the fact that we're so incredibly excited about the upcoming weeks there's nothing to add!

Shooting Stars Beta Release – Mitch gone wild!

I want to start this post by saying thanks to all the wonderful people who have supported us in the last couple of weeks. You guys are simply awesome!

As we have mentioned, approximately 12000 times, on our social media channels we'll release a playable beta every six weeks to give you an overview of what we're doing and how the game will look like. So, six weeks after the launch of Bloodirony Games we are here to keep our promise.

We are proud and super excited to announce the very first Shooting Stars beta, called "Mitch". (this is the moment where you start drooling and yodeling which of course is accompanied by a smooth and sexy drum roll)

We've sent out a mail to all the signed up beta testers, with all the necessary instructions to install the beta and to finally start shooting stars. (Ahhhh... now everything makes sense) If you feel left out and desperately want to be part of the cool beta kids club, Y U NO SIGNUP? Just signup to our beta and you'll receive an invitation to play this super awesome and exciting Shoot 'em up. 

Random facts about Mitch

• It's a simple vertical endless shoot 'em up where you have to fight Minions and their level boss with an online highscore.
• The game has absolutely no affiliation with any known TV character. Honestly!*
• We started as ridiculous (kack-) noobs with no knowledge of Unity. This version is what we've learned in 4 weeks (+ a bit of optimization stuff).
• The game is now optimized to even run on rather low performance devices. (We haven't decided yet if we support the Nokia 3210).

Electra, here we come!

Oh, come on! Don't say you haven't expected something like this? Electra was the only suitable name for the next version.

In the last days we've decided to completely start over with all the learnings we've made. We've also redefined our concept to be a bit more... erm... different. (And by different we mean better) Expect it to be completely random(!), probably as random as this crazy internet thingy is. Following our release cycle the next beta will be available on April 1st – jokes on you!

By the way, if you're able to guess the name of the 0.3 release, post it on our Facebook wall and if you are lucky, you can name the 0.4 release.

Don't forget to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to get all updates.
