Shoot 'm Up
Minor updates & Linux issue fixes
- Disappearing map selection menu in rare cases
- Map downloader stuck on Linux
- Fixed error message when typing invalid port number
- Allow XP to be earned on non-official servers
Controller support added
The entire game should be navigateable from A to Z and completely playable, albeit there are some caveats;
- Hints and tips will still display keyboard / mouse names - I will have to refactor this so I can show actual buttons.. But for this I need more controllers as well.
- Car controls are a bit funky, you'll have to use the joystick instead of trigger buttons to step on the gas.
- The game is much harder with a controller, as there is no aim-assist.
- You can't re-map controls yet (only configure the movement / aim speed) in-game. If you want to edit those, you will have to fiddle with the button numbers in the "settings" file located here: %LOCALAPPDATA%\\ShootMUp\\settings
This file is an INI file that will contain a section of "GP_CONTROLS". The numbers there relate to the numbers you see in the Windows "game controller properties", except that the numbers in the ini-file are 0based (the control window starts counting from 1). So if you want to make some changes, you'll have to check the number in the properties screen, then deduct 1 from it, and use that number in the config file.
I also don't have that many controllers - I have been developing and testing this with a PS4 controller hooked up to my Windows PC, so I hope most controllers will work. You might need to do some remapping - feel free to share re-mapped configs in the discussions! Ofcourse I'm also available on Discord for any burning questions you may have.
Enjoy!!

0.10.2 - Open beta patch
The zombie survival gameplay still is kind of unbalanced (mainly because of the ability to freely respawn / no possibility to revive downed teammates), it should be a bit clearer for new players now. More changes will come, but not in a patch - that will be a new version.
Here's the changelog for this patch;
- Added bot count to server list
- Added notification showing shop location after surviving the first wave of zombies
- Added notification to vote skip daytime (will be a default integrated feature soon!)
- Changed zombie spawn rate
- Replaced
- Improved zombie SFX
- Fixed double clicking in server list not working right
- Fixed zombie shop deployables (barbed wire was missing)
- Fixed zombie match starting at wrong day
- Removed need to press key to pickup health
- Removed ear-rape after a zombie match where you'd make a lot of kills
0.10.1 - Open Beta Patch
You can now always spawn in zombie survival mode - no need to buy new spawns. You don't lose money yet when you die - as the zombies coming at you might be a challenge.. We'll see how this goes.
Also prevented issues where you'd be able to buy things that didn't help (e.g. didn't fit, or already full health). Thats fixed!
I've improved a bit on the drawing pipelines regarding lights and walls - there's still some more optimisations to be done, but this should help out a bit already.
- Added [BOT] name to bots
- Changed spawning options in zombie survival mode
- Improved chat sound effects
- Improved car sounds effects
- Improved some performance by batching light draw calls together, should improve performance on older machines.
- Improved wall rendering by a lot, lowering VRAM usage, loading times and wall rendering times.
- Fixed wall rendering issue in linux
- Fixed issue when hitting "reload" while holding grenade
- Fixed error in main menu on specific occasions
- Fixed losing money by being able to buy more deployables than you can carry, heal when full health, or repair with 100% base.
Open beta inbound!
This open beta is focussed on streamers / youtubers / influencers, and you're encouraged to take gameplay footage of the game!
