 Bit Fortress is a new shmup created by me. With a new take on retro arcade/simplistic graphics, Bit fortress brings oldschool shmup action to modern hardware. The demo features 3 full levels and bosses, along with a full ranking system, not to mention original neo-chiptune music by me!

Check out the gameplay and download the demo!:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsg05SLrHQA
