Sylph: Project Miyaji Alpha 6 Released

Kevin Fishburne has released the sixth alpha build of Sylph: Project Miyaji, his SHMUP for Linux.

I’m incredibly pleased to announce that the latest alpha release of Sylph is available for download. Sylph is currently targeted at Debian-based Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Kubuntu, etc. A twin-stick gamepad is highly recommended for optimal play, though keyboard control is fully supported.

SYSTEM RECOMMENDATIONS

Sylph uses OpenGL, so you should have the binary drivers for your ATI/AMD or NVIDIA video card installed for maximum performance. Vertical synchronization (vsync) is recommended, although Sylph automatically regulates its frame rate regardless.

Medium to high CPU, RAM and VRAM specifications should achieve a high frame rate (60 FPS).

Keyboard input (WASD, arrow keys, space bar and escape key) is fully supported, but a twin-stick gamepad is highly recommended for optimal gameplay (it is fast-paced).
