Prepare for an intense interdimensional journey in Shudder, a high-speed twin-stick shooter developed and published by Saberphrog. This unique title blends elements of classic arcade games like Geometry Wars, Pac-Man, and Snake, but with a distinct twist: one stick controls movement, and the other is used for charging and unleashing the powerful SHUDDER Drive 9000™.

Players are thrust into a wormhole and tasked with absorbing cosmic cells to power up their drive. This energy is crucial for fending off an relentless onslaught of interstellar Para-Bugs.

Strategically shatter Vortex-Cubes and decimate the bio-organic threats to achieve high scores and collect rare resources. These resources are vital for unlocking more powerful ships and upgrading existing ones, significantly increasing your chances of survival and ultimate victory.
