Latest Steam announcements

• Game retiring - 9 September 2021

  As you've seen in a previous Community Post, the files for Backfire got corrupted and the most recent backup is incredibly outdated. Due to this, game updates are impossible for the foreseeable future. I planned on continually updating Backfire and keeping things fresh, but now that it's impossible, I've decided to just remove the game from the storefront. It doesn't sit right with me letting it sit here without ever being updated, and becoming the big complex game I envisioned. I apologize for anyone looking forward to more, but I have no choice but to end it here. I had a blast making it and hope if you bought it have just as much fun playing it. Thanks for playing! ♥

• Hard Mode update - 2 September 2020

  Difficulty is selected when starting a new game, and cannot be changed later. In Hard Mode, a few things are different. -You only get 1 HP every level. HP pickups are still in every level, but don't carry over like normal mode. -The shop is disabled. You're on your own! -No dialogue or tutorials. Mostly because if you pick Hard mode, you've probably already played the game and know the mechanics. Saves time. -Speaking of time, Slow Motion is disabled too. It's pretty OP in normal mode. -Lastly, you can only charge/shoot an energy shot if your gauge is full Also, there's a new secret achievement! ...but I'm sure you can guess what it is.

• Small fixes - 29 August 2020

  -Fixed getting hurt by the final boss exploding -Made slow motion use more energy
