Eastasiasoft has revealed that its upcoming 2D bullet hell shoot 'em up, Project Starship, will be firing onto a Switch near you this Valentine's Day.
The game has you taking on the role of one of two protagonists - Garret or Gwen - and puts you in charge of saving their world from an ancient evil. The game's said to be "filled with absolute madness and randomly generated levels", providing you with "an epic and adrenaline-packed battle with the unknown where everything is obscure and mysterious". Ooer.
Here's a feature list:
Features:
- Choose to play a male or female pilot.
- Save the world from an ancient evil.
- Challenge evil gods and mad demons in full-screen bullet hell shoot 'em up action!
- Dive into the unknown and defeat the Hidden Eye!
- Evade, adapt and blast your way through a randomized galaxy.
The game will be available to download directly from the Nintendo Switch eShop on 14th February for $4.99 / €4.99.

Generic! So generic it's shmup project?
The difference between the professional-looking cover art and the Newgrounds-adjacent in-game art really threw me. A shame, I've been looking for a new shmup to blow some time on until the big game releases in March.
Wow, that cover art does not represent the game's graphics at all.
Ryan, go write about this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWJcpodpNLE
Wow, so this is what shmups look like if your face is 2 inches from the screen.
Can... can ya'll zoom out a little? Feeling claustrophobic.
@RazumikhinPG Or perhaps he could write about this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
Just as relevant.

Okay I love my Shmups and my bullet hells, and love my retro looking games, but this looks terrible, and East Asia soft where’s the Switch port of the Soldner X series of games, that needs a whole new audience and should be ported over soon. 😁
"Back on service!"
...If you're gonna have bits and pieces of voice acting in your game/trailer, at least make an effort to have it sound grammatically correct. I couldn't make out the rest, because it pretty much sounded muffled to hell and back. I also agree that the cover art is hella misleading.
Ahh nahhh, totally misleading from the artwork.
@RupeeClock alot of indie games don't
Not diggin the style.
Not really liking how the game looks.
@kenyowa Here you can check the artist's gallery, is a guy from Chile, has work in trading cards, comics and has been doing a lot of game covers lately, kind of getting popular lately

I wanted to like this but the demo looks like something really different from what the artwork suggests.
I don't know, something like this would have been exciteing in a console with a serious lack of shmups like PS3 or Wii U, but on a system with tons of good shmups like ESP Ra De, Psikyo collections, Darius collections, RXN, Sisters Royale, Rolling Gunner, Blazing Star, Game Paradise, Radirgy Swag, Psyvariar Delta, Blazing Star, Ghost Blade HD, Aero Fighters 2&3 or Ikaruga it looks somewhat unnecessary.
@kenyowa whats coming in march?
