I love how fleshed out the world design and combat is so far, it just feels so tight already. You've done a phenomenal job capturing a unique take on an apocalyptic twin-stick dungeon crawler. great game!
Great game but is there any chance for a MacOS version as I currently have to run it through an app called PlayOnMac and it isn't the most fun experience to run
Rad game. Is there a reason why installing it via the Itch client just gives another installer? It would be nice to manage/update/launch the game from that client.
The game is not malware I have run through malware testing software already. (Avast, malwarebytes and AVG) they first identify it as a virus but after a full scan they discover it is not.
Very cool idea! WIll keep it in mind while designing future characters. We are currently a bit back-logged on the character side of things, but maybe one day...
Thank you so much for sticking around :) The arena is a little bare-bones right now, but it does have the exclusive rights to the Devil Action and Storm Hammer ;) But I understand that you're thinking about character upgrades and whatnot
This game kicks ass, I really like how ridiculously overpowered you can get with the attachments but still die quickly if you're not careful. My brother brought up a good point when I showed it to him btw, having a multiplayer would be really cool so I was wondering if there was any plans that add one?
Ex-game dev here, for them to make multiplayer it would be extremely difficult and expensive depending on the method. If they use p2p (free, player to player)
then they would encounter bugs such as seeing the other players cursor or overlaying UI
If they used a dedicated server, it would cost them alot of money. (My game deceit my team was having to pay a few thousand dollars on servers)
It is perfect for multiplayer. I have already made an auto updating launcher and a modding framework for the community. Maybe I can make an external multiplayer mod.
Could you do me a favor Martial? Check the press-kit, go to NEW UPDATE CONTENT > 1.0.6.0, and download the images. Small sprites that look blurry in the preview. Does it look good if you scale it up for a youtube thumbnail, or does it get blurred?
Previously I spent time scaling up everything, but that takes a lot of time and if it can be avoided all the image content from every patch can easily be uploaded in their native size.
Very good game, the interface is clear and the gameplay is very good, it has a large number of mechanics and enemies, I'm anxious to see how far it goes. Although to my taste I think that the inspiration in nuclear throne is more than obvious.
1 hour in the new patch and I found every new thing,even the secret enemy which is a *SPOILER WARNING*
mimic modifier chest, and I think it should have a little less health as when I first encountered it in the first map choice it got me to 1 hp,but I found the healing chest in the next room . Also This is one of my favourte games, keep up the good work ^^
I just got the homing chip and ha the smart pistol on hand, so I used the chip on the smart pistol, and it was wayy smarter and could hit enemies behind a wall with a gap in it. Also great game. ^^
Thank you so much koschei :9 it was a long and difficult journey to arrive at the specific artstyle, with doubt along the way. Praise of the art means a lot to the two artists.
I never play games like this usually but this was really fun! Easy to get into, quick gameplay and fun ~vibes~ Keep at it bois, you got something real good going here!
I'd love to see a utility-focused "fence gun." Mortar-style projectiles like grenades, when one is placed it doesn't do much, when two are placed it creates an electric "fence" between them that damages enemies that pass through. You'd have to work out some sort of lifespan timer, maybe? In any case, the weapons lineup is pretty good already.
In addition, this is more of a minor nitpick, but I feel like the "5+ weapon mods" in the description seems a little clunky. It's a small enough number that it feels like it would make more sense to say something like "x unique weapon mods" or something.

Is there a way to change the controls?
Currently not. It's on its way!

Thank you kindly!
damn great game keep the good work up!
Thank you very much
how to reload
No reloading in the game :) Just keep firing, and picking up ammo packs!
Great demo, had lots of fun with it!
EDIT: Was so good we made a video out of it
Thanks Keron!
hey so i stopped playing for a few weeks to come back with a ton of crazy new updates and i am absolutely blown away
That's the kind of story I love to hear! :)
Great game but is there any chance for a MacOS version as I currently have to run it through an app called PlayOnMac and it isn't the most fun experience to run
At some point, we hope! Sorry for the wait... :)
Rad game. Is there a reason why installing it via the Itch client just gives another installer? It would be nice to manage/update/launch the game from that client.
Any chance for controller support?
Yep! We are working on it.
Awesome! I cant wait :)
Thanks!

This game looks really cool. Are there any plans to add support for the Itch app sandbox?
Not currently
Bro I'm getting malware reports on this thing and Trojans has any else had this and is it a false positive?
The game is not malware I have run through malware testing software already. (Avast, malwarebytes and AVG) they first identify it as a virus but after a full scan they discover it is not.
Valid question! We've released patches for almost three months now! So far no malware :D It's just Windows being overly protective.
also i have a character concept:
the scientist
offensive ability: shoots acid -filled beakers in 8 directions
defensive ability: can teleport (through walls if there are any)
Very cool idea! WIll keep it in mind while designing future characters. We are currently a bit back-logged on the character side of things, but maybe one day...
im a longtime valkyr player (love it btw) and the arena mode is AMAZING-- please build on to this, like adding special "arena-only" upgrades and stuff

Hey that's cool, take your time no need to rush things :)

OOHHH! update (can't play rn bc I am on school computer lol)
love the nuclear throne vibes, great game!
Awesome game! Seems familiar... :P

Controller support is coming in some future update! :)
This game is extremely hard but I like it and I'm trying to learn how to play it.
"you were killed till you died" love it
<3
Happy Thursday! Love the new character. Here's my weekly gameplay and thoughts!
PS. I still suck, haven't reached the boss once lolWonderful video! :)
Hey guys!
Awesome work on the new update! One question tho, could you possibly update the press kit with all the new characters and guns?
It would help out a lot with making thumbnails going forward!
So true! Will get on it!
Could you do me a favor Martial? Check the press-kit, go to NEW UPDATE CONTENT > 1.0.6.0, and download the images. Small sprites that look blurry in the preview. Does it look good if you scale it up for a youtube thumbnail, or does it get blurred?

Scaling up pixel art is very simple if you resize your document using "Nearest Neighbor" method!
I managed to scale up the knight and rifle with no problems!
Thank you! That means that from now on, every week there will be a new folder for all the new sprites!
Also, are you a user on our discord? We can communicate faster there if you require a specific sprite for instance :)
i am not sure how to run this when i try to open this game on my laptop it comes up as a video. is there a seperate program i need to run this game?
You've run into a truly unique problem never encountered before :D Please try out the new patch we just uploaded! 0.1.6.0!
Your commentary is so nice! And your suggestions are heard by the dev team! We are big fans already :)
1 hour in the new patch and I found every new thing,even the secret enemy which is a *SPOILER WARNING*
mimic modifier chest, and I think it should have a little less health as when I first encountered it in the first map choice it got me to 1 hp,but I found the healing chest in the next room
. Also This is one of my favourte games, keep up the good work ^^
Thank you so much <3 I hope you enjoy today's patch! Now mimics have elite versions as well ;)
I just got the homing chip and ha the smart pistol on hand, so I used the chip on the smart pistol, and it was wayy smarter and could hit enemies behind a wall with a gap in it. Also great game. ^^
Hah! That's hilarious! And thank you! <3
This is awesome.
What engine you guys using?
Game Maker Studio 2, which is free :)
this game is amazing but please add controller support
It's something we will add in the future! And thank you :)
Gameplay para que vean como es el juego mas o menos
Bien jugado!
extremely fun and satisfying. lots of potential, cant wait to see more =D
This is very high quality, well done! Excellent pixel-art
Thank you so much koschei :9 it was a long and difficult journey to arrive at the specific artstyle, with doubt along the way. Praise of the art means a lot to the two artists.
Awesome roguelite game.
Fantastic gameplay!
I never play games like this usually but this was really fun! Easy to get into, quick gameplay and fun ~vibes~
Keep at it bois, you got something real good going here!
Thanks Bunslake, means a lot! Feel free to give more feedback or make outrageous demands in the future!
Came for the visuals, stayed for the gameplay. This game is stunning, I can't wait to see where it goes from here!
You charmer, you! New patch every tuesday! :) What weapon or feature would you like to see added?
I'd love to see a utility-focused "fence gun." Mortar-style projectiles like grenades, when one is placed it doesn't do much, when two are placed it creates an electric "fence" between them that damages enemies that pass through. You'd have to work out some sort of lifespan timer, maybe? In any case, the weapons lineup is pretty good already.
I really like that weapon idea! Just gotta figure out if it works best as a weapon or as a future character ability
In addition, this is more of a minor nitpick, but I feel like the "5+ weapon mods" in the description seems a little clunky. It's a small enough number that it feels like it would make more sense to say something like "x unique weapon mods" or something.
Good point. Fixed it!
This is extremely well polished! The art style and animations are excellent, and it feels really good and juicy to play. ^^
Thank you so much! :)
Guys this is awesome, well done!!
Thank you so much! :3
The art style is amazing and so many cool animations and effects!! :D
I'm so glad that you like the art style and animations!
That makes us so happy!
