When interplanetary war threatens to annihilate mankind, only one teleporting fighter has the power to alter the course of history: VALKYRIUS!

Valkyrius is a 2D indie shmup coming out for the PC, and possibly the Xbox Indie Game Marketplace. It focuses on fast paced action and a unique teleportation system.

This looks amazing! I'll buy it on Desura for sure, but good luck with the Steam greenlight too, left a vote for you. Have you considered porting it to Ouya?

Thanks for the compliment, for buying, and for voting! I improved some of the graphics, so be sure to check out the new screenshots on Greenlight. As for the Ouya - Valkyrius is programmed in XNA, so I suppose I could make a conversion with something like MonoGame... and an Ouya to test it on. I'd want to see how it sells on the PC before committing the time and money to other platforms though.

Purchased!

How did you find FastSpring for payments? Are they easy to set up, and how much do they take from your sales?

[edit] Bug Report! - The game crashes when I try to view the global leaderboards. Other than that it's great though, and plays really well with the Xbox 360 controller.

Finally beat Valkyrius tonight. Took a few credits though, don't know if I'll have the skill for a 1cc. I really enjoyed the boss fight at the end. Very much like Ikaruga, but with the teleporting taking the place of color-changing. I thought the water effect in level 4 was great.

For anyone else who hasn't tried this - I highly recommend it, it's very polished and good fun.
