changedWe are Magical Something , a two-person indie dev team based in the UK, and we are incredibly excited (and a little nervous!!) to finally share what we've been working on. This is the first full game we’ve ever made, so just having you here checking out our page means a lot to us. So, what is IKARUS all about? We wanted to try something a little crazy. We took the fast-paced, screen-fill chaos of classic shoot'em-ups / bullet-hells and mashed it up with the strategy of a modern roguelike deckbuilder. Figuring out how to balance twitchy arcade action with thoughtful card synergy was definitely a massive challenge, but we honestly think we’ve made it work - and we can't wait to hear what you think. We need your help! Because this is our debut game, we are learning a lot as we go. We would absolutely love to hear your thoughts, ideas, and critiques. You can do that here on Steam, or join our discord: https://discord.gg/uuqjWn2es
