Another amazing homebrew coming your way! LightWay is a shmup homebrew game that looks like it was inspired (graphic-wise, at least) by Patapon's vector art, with an extra dash of Fl0w to make things, well, flow. Just look at those screens, man! Viola! Fantastique! Merci beaucoup and all that!

At first glance, I myself thought it came from RealTechVR - the guys behind No Gravity. LightWay looks just as professionally done as RealTechVR's work - but nope, LightWay is actually from French dev team Motion Studio, namely Pjeff (coding) and Cladil (graphics). Pjeff's actually been around before (he's the guy behind Super Mario Toy), but anyways, give them a warm welcome, guys!

For now, we get a demo - no complaints there. The gameplay is similar to many a shoot 'em up title: progressively difficult levels as you advance, various enemy units coming from left, right, and center, and, of course, some bad ass boss at the end of a stage. You can read up on more info in the download page linked below.
