- Release Announcement - 26 May 2023
As Kool & the Gang said 43 ago: Celebrate good times, come on! And today we have plenty of cause for celebration, because today - right now, in fact - OrbWars is finally getting it's full release! It's been a long way full of twists and turns, as well as the occasional rock on the road, making for a bumpy ride, but finally we have reached our destination and we here at Neox Games think it was well worth it. From the small little student project it started out as originally and the level based twin stick shooter party game to the cooperative roguelite it is today, OrbWars has seen quite a few iterations and we really think that, thanks to the hard work of everyone involved and your constructive feedback over the years this is the best one yet, and one we are proud to invite you to play. Since our last major update when we revealed the switch to a roguelite gameplay to you, we have contin…

- OrbWars goes Rogue - 8 March 2023
Hey guys! I know we've been kind of quiet over here at Neox Games in regards to news and updates to the game. But that's because we have been stuck in the lab, cooking up some very exciting gameplay changes we'd like to present to you - right now, in fact! So without further ado we want to announce to you: OrbWars goes rogue! Over the months OrbWars spent in Early Access we collected player feedback and did a lot of introspective thinking. And what we realized is, that the level-centric OrbWars we've known and loved for so long simply wasn't the best OrbWars could be. Completing a level, aside from the ones containing boss encounters, simply didn't feel quite rewarding and accomplished enough. Cool gameplay features got introduced for one specific level to make each of them feel more unique, but in turn depriving players of exactly these cool gameplay features in subsequent levels. The…
