Super Storm Buster: a new Kickstarter for a space shoot’em up on Super Nintendo
PixelHeart is proud to announce the upcoming launch of a brand-new Kickstarter campaign dedicated to Super Storm Buster, a space shoot’em up developed specifically for the Super Nintendo (SNES). Designed as a direct tribute to the great 16-bit classics, this independent project aims to push the technical limits of the console while fully respecting its original DNA.
With Super Storm Buster, our goal is to deliver an authentic, intense experience that stays true to the spirit of Super Nintendo-era shoot’em ups, while embracing a modern development vision built directly for original hardware.
Neopolis. A near future. A threat from the sky.
Neopolis. A near future.
Without warning, an unknown satellite appears in orbit. Silent. Motionless. Hostile.
A beam pierces the atmosphere and destroys the command tower in an instant. Neopolis’ defense forces are neutralized. The city is now left without protection.
But in the shadows, one last chance remains.
Hidden inside a secret base, an independent pilot prepares for launch. The cockpit lights up. Engines ignite. The ship is ready.
The mission begins.
Neopolis must survive.
This narrative sets the foundation for a dark science-fiction universe focused on survival, resistance, and the last hope against a technological threat descending from above.
A space shoot’em up designed specifically for the SNES
Super Storm Buster has been built from the ground up to run on the Super Nintendo, with an ambitious technical approach that respects the constraints of the original hardware.
The game emphasizes:
Screens saturated with projectiles, pushing the console to its limits
A high number of simultaneous shots displayed on screen
Massive bosses occupying a large portion of the display
Strategic positioning and space management
Clear visual readability to deliver a demanding yet fair challenge
Unlike shoot’em ups focused purely on speed, Super Storm Buster prioritizes control, anticipation, and enemy pattern management. Every movement matters. Every mistake can be fatal.
Development has been carefully designed to take advantage of the technical specifics of the Super Nintendo, respecting its architecture and limitations to provide an experience consistent with 16-bit standards.
A technical ambition true to the 16-bit era
Developing a space shoot’em up on SNES hardware is a real technical challenge. The Super Nintendo was not originally designed to handle screens heavily saturated with projectiles like certain arcade machines. Yet this very limitation makes the project exciting.
Super Storm Buster aims to:
Maximize the number of simultaneous projectiles on screen
Maintain gameplay-appropriate fluidity
Deliver spectacular encounters against large-scale bosses
Respect the visual and audio standards of the console
This decision to develop directly for original hardware is intentional. It reflects a clear commitment: to create a true Super Nintendo game, not a modern adaptation.
