We've been putting in the hours working on Dogwood, including overhauling the graphics, VFX, and animations to bring you a more polished experience.
Here's a sneak peek of water attacks we've been working on:
Dogwood has shmup-lite polarity combat (similar to Ikaruga). We use red and blue colors to represent the two polarities. Red is usually depicted as fire while blue is depicted as water. When you're using the same color as the enemy bullets, you're temporarily invincible to them. In fact, you'll absorb their bullets as your own ammo. (This works until your gun absorbs too much ammo, in which case you're in danger of overloading.)
And yeah, you can parry the bullets if you switch colors at the right time. It's very satisfying.
Finally, we've got some big announcements are coming up in the next few days.
