The latest Shmup-Dev competition results are out, but with very little to cheer for as most participants either dropped out of the contest or were disqualified.
Still, there are seven playable entries though many are not particularly striking either. Plus the innumerable delays had caused a loss of interest when the actual winners were announced.
I was also expecting to read different views for best graphics, sound and most unique category but we’re left with vanilla reviews which is slightly disappointing.
Could the uninspiring prizes be the reason for a lack of success this time around? Or the contest frequency itself? We can only wonder.
A round of applause goes out for of all the contestants. Finishing a game can be a rather daunting task and they deserve credit for the attempt.
