Hi everyone!
Here are some updates to our twin-stick shmup A Quiver of Crows. We are finished with the gameplay aspects of the game – all 26 stages are done. We are now working on the details of the game that make it more polished such as achievements, sound, music, Steam controller, etc.
Developer Speed Run Let’s Play Video
Here we show off the Japanese localization, the settings menu, and speed run through a stage.
New Monsters
Skelebats, biters, & winged eyeballs! Oh my!https://t.co/cX7R4dvr6e#screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev pic.twitter.com/IZIdupEcvI

- Evil Eye Winged Creatures – There are currently three variations of these winged evil eye monsters in game. Their inclusion gives the game a very old-school shmup-y feel of bullet hell dodging.
- Chained monster – no screenshot of this monster yet. They are like vicious chained guard dogs.
Weapon Upgrade Level 4
This means all 4 different types of weapons now have a level 4 version. Plasma weapon has 5 simultaneous plasma bullets, the laser is now screen-length, etc.
Settings Menu
Settings! Not as fun as other #gamedev things, but necessary! #indiedevhttps://t.co/cX7R4dvr6e#screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/6De8EN5ZaY

Want to play the game in windowed mode, without music, and with half the sound volume? Now you can! Controller customization is also available.
