  • Iron Mandate - A Post Mortem - 4 April 2025

    Because of a lack of time, money and fundamental issues with the core idea, I'm moving this game out of early access, leaving it free and moving on. If you want to learn more about the reasons and the process of making this game, keep reading. Why I'm writing this I've wanted to write this post mortem for a while now. I was finally moved to do it for two reasons: the first is that I have put this on hold for a while to work on another game: The people of Sea, Sun & Salt. The second is that an alert now appears on the steam page mentionning the fact that it has not received any updates in the past 23 months. It's entirely fair of Steam but I don't want to give the impression that this is some abandonned game. It is fully functional and completable as it is. This pushes me to release it but I don't want to do so without an explanation. So here we are. I'm still very proud of the project a…

  • Update #4: How to best steer a worm - 8 April 2023

    This is a small update on balancing and control. The single biggest hurdle for this game is definitely the movement system: I've seen a lot of people say the game is fun or interesting but the controls are hard to grasp if not downright bad. So I added a toggle to pick between two modes of Juggernaut control. Changes: - Players can pick between two ways of steering the Juggernaut: left/right steering or direction steering - Rehearsal enemies have less health, Execution enemies have more health - Seeker weapon deal less damage - Rail cannon, cannons, volley and bomber weapons deal more damage - Enemy weapon cooldown is slightly longer - Fixed an issue where some early levels couldn't be completed when in windowed mode Future changes To further improve controls, I'll add key rebinding soon. Maybe that will help with players having issues with controls.

  • Update #3: The one where I cave - 31 March 2023

    Given player feedback and the small number of players reaching the top, I've decided to create two difficulty modes: - The Rehearsal: Falls only do a little damage before bouncing you back up and enemies have less HP - The Execution: Falls are lethal and enemies have a bit more health I always liked the purity of having a single main mode and forcing players to just get better through sheer repetition but I think that is too strong a filter for players. So if I want to keep an expert level experience in the end game, two difficulty modes balanced differently is the way to go. Changes - Two difficulty modes as mentionned above - Soundrack variety: These are still placeholder for better commissioned work but at least it is a bit less repetitive - New weapon: The one sided cannon: Shoots two cannon balls from the right side only - Speedrun achievements are less difficult - Final boss fight…

  • Update #2: Versus and even more deadly falls - 24 March 2023

    Iron Mandate v0.6.3 is here. I'm still mostly trying to ensure that the game is decently balanced and runs without any issues. Once that is done I'll contemplate bigger feature work. Thank you to everyone who have made suggestions on that last point, there are definitely some keepers there. Changes: - Versus is available again: Play against players locally or through Steam's Remote Play Together (open the steam overlay to invite friends) - Mid air control: Mid air control is stronger now to be able to more easily maneuver and avoid deadly falls. - New upgrade: A mid air control upgrade that almost allows you to hover. - Keyboard issues: Keyboard used to take a few milliseconds to stop turning after the end of a key press. Now it's instantaneous. - Out of bound enemies: Enemies can no longer get lost out of bound on some of the later levels - Introduced windowed mode and handled differen…

  • Update #1: Controls, Missed upgrades and deadly falls - 17 March 2023

    I'm very grateful to everyone who gave Iron Mandate a try! The amount of feedback that came in is extremely helpful and will get us much closer to completing this game. Changes: - Gamepad control: Now works on Xbox controllers with no extra configuration needed - Keyboard control: Changed movement so A and D turn the Juggernaut left or right relative to it's current direction - Missed upgrades: You can no longer leave a level before getting the upgrade and cogs - Accidental level transition: You now need to go further on the edge of the screen to trigger a level transition - Balancing: Turrets last 20% shorter and automatons have 10% less health - Deadly falls: I'm still uncertain on how to handle falls so for now I just added a bit of midair control to be able to recover. - Stuck on the ground: This midair control also allows players to get unstuck if they fall on the unbreakable groun…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 3, 2026 to Oct 3, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

Iron Mandate's USD price history spans from Oct 3, 2026 to Oct 3, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Iron Mandate's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Oct 3, 2026 through Oct 3, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Iron Mandate at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
