✦ AI summary

Shwip is a colorful, skill-based twin-stick shooter that players praise for its smooth mechanics, quick gameplay loops, and satisfying core weapon (the whip), making it accessible and fun for both veterans and newcomers to the genre. However, complaints center on limited weapon variety and balance issues—the inability to move at slower speeds creates frustration in precision-heavy modes, and the game lacks strategies for handling large enemy swarms effectively.

The game is good, tho very experimental A lot of things don't really feel right and the game feels very empty, I think my major complaint has to be with the weapons and the maneuvering of the ship The game doesn't have the possibility to go slower than max speed, if you move, you go at full speed and that can be a pain in minefield mode as doing small movements is impossible There is no way to deal with very large ammounts of enemies, as soon as they start piling up you're eventually screwed as your main weapon, the cannon, isn't designed for that and the missiles aren't really all that usefull But the biggest problem I have with wepons, is the whip The whip, like the game, was shown has a very smooth weapon, usefull in a ton of situations, and is I belive the main selling point to me, it's rather unique Well, as of right now, this whip is clunky, often doesn't even damage enemies, puts you into extreme danger, and sometimes just appear to just stop working completely Idk if it is due to the engine change, but the whole game is way more clunky than shown in the trailers, which kinda ruins it for me Still, a good game

Smooth shoot'em'up. As a vet of twin sticks and classic arcades this one holds up decent as a quarter dropper. It has the one thing I have been asking for, for ages with arcade style games.... quick replay! All in all, a solid game you can dive deep into or just pick up and kill time on. Rack up kills with skills and get the thumbs moving. Solid game boys, looking forward to more!

TL;DR: Yeah, I like this! It's a skillbased shmup with a shwip and very colorful visuals. Try it out for a couple bucks! ----- I've never really played a lot of twin stick games, and I found this game searching for alternatives to Geometry Arena and Nova Drift. Notably, this game has no meta-progression or roguelike elements like those games, it's purely arcade-style fun (with some other modes as well). There are no random pickups, there is no changing out weapons, you have everything you may need from the start. It's therefore 100% skill based, which could be interesting for some people. From the perspective of someone who enjoys roguelites, it's lacking in replayability a bit though. Still, for the price it's perfectly acceptable if you're done in just a few games. The short 3 minute arcade format fits well and quick restart allows you to quickly get a couple games in and it hooks okay. I haven't tried the mine dodging mode. The Style mode is fun as well, with a longer playtime. You're required to complete quests with certain weapon combinations, which unlocks a difficult 'boss wave' you have to complete in order to progress. However, you only get 1 life, so it's much more di…

Fun game! Never grew up playing twin stick shooters but this was easy to pick up. A lot of abilities to play around for different situations but I always stick with the cannon and occasional whip for health. Shwipball is pretty fun and hilarious with friends, good ol' air hockey fun with stick handling! Worth the price, even better on sale!

This is truly and underappreciated twin-stick shooter. I played countless hours of the dev builds when I was labbing ideas for the soundtracks - it's just addictive and entrancing. This game was one of the first projects I ever worked on that impressed me from start to finish. I really hope to see more from these guys in the future. - An old friend
