About the Game

Galactic Sentinels is a high-octane, solo-developed bullet-hell shmup packed with old-school arcade soul and modern polish. Choose from 16 ships with unique abilities, equip from 30 weapons and 20 drone types (including powerful pink upgrades), and unleash devastating super weapons like the Time Stopper, Black Hole Thrower, Gamma Ray Burst Cannon or the Mind Control Beam which allows to recruit large fleets of enemies to fight for you. Master the innovative Mega Warp mechanic for temporary invulnerability and stage-skipping acceleration while dodging meteor swarms and brutal status effects. Face up to 9 minibosses and 7 massive bosses with transformations and multi-phase attack patterns. Unlock 2 unique secret fusions. Enjoy 5 game modes (Standard, Survival, Stage Select, Boss Challenge, Infinity) across Normal, Hard, and Legendary difficulties, each with high-score tables with the classic AAAAA mashing for low scores or players who don't care about scores. Full custom keybindings, adjustable game speed, volume controls, Gaming Journalism Mode (invulnerable but zero score) and multiple possible endings.

Most AI-generated images were extensively edited and refined by hand using traditional image editing tools, while some (such as certain pilot portraits) received only minor adjustments or none at all. All AI-generated code was implemented and debugged manually.
