Squid Shooting
A squid-vs-octopus vertical bullet-hell shooter across six stages
Overview
A vertical-scrolling bullet-hell (danmaku) shooter themed around squid (you) vs. octopus (the enemy). Battle through six stages, each culminating in a boss fight. Controls are simple — just drag on the screen to move your ship, which fires automatically. Collect power-ups to raise your power level up to five stages, increasing the number and spread of your shots. Bosses unleash four types of bullet patterns — circular, spiral, fan, and cross — growing more intense as you advance. Built with @shopify/react-native-skia for high-quality 2D rendering at a smooth 60fps, with background music, sound effects, and haptic feedback. Game Center is optional, and the core game is playable without signing in. In builds where ads are enabled, the Google Mobile Ads SDK handles data for ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention.
