- Our New Game "GuardGrave" has just hit Steam! - 22 November 2023
It's been awhile! We've decided to move back into steam with our game releases due to the demand of our latest title Deathwish Enforcers. First off, we're launched a new title "GuardGrave" which is a single player or co-op experience set in the vein of classics such as BurgerTime. You play as two aging grave diggers, "Deek" and "Cecil" as they combat the forces of darkness and take on the evil necromancer "Bob" who has been raising the dead in their local cemeteries. https://youtu.be/QcnV-qwkPBI This game is a classic single screen game where you must hammer coffin lids down to their matching coffins below, trapping any undead you can on the way! Close all of the coffins to complete the stage and move to the next! There are three game modes: Kids Mode which allows you to always have a hammer even in co-op and more time to complete a stage along with more lives. Normal Mode which one pla…

- Insanity's Blade V1.20 Update! - 9 January 2016
Hey everyone! We're very excited to release the 1.20 patch! This one is huge! We've taken into consideration all of the feed back we've received over the past year and picked out the things we thought would make the Insanity's Blade experience even better along with the things we already planned on doing to improve the game! Here is the giant list of changes: All new smooth single player camera Thurstan can now attack from ladders, vines, poles etc. Thurstan has faster attack speeds Attacks from the wall are much easier to pull off Speed through intro and outro text with punch/jump or just skip it with start! Fixed graphics on several levels (Church Stage platforms are now completed!) Icon for store daggers updated to show proper number (game originally had 6 but was cut to 5 and the icon wasn't changed :O) No more back tracking! When you go to receive a quest the game will automaticall…

- Insanity's Blade V1.19 Update! - 15 December 2015
Hi All! One more tiny update here today! Thanks to more helpful feedback in your reviews Chris has tweaked a few parts of the game to improve your experience: Controls adjusted to better support Xbox One analog sticks (Xbox 360 controllers still work great too!) Added more color to some explosions Enemy explosions are switched to the pre-alpha style with the arcade-style blood Grab detection box is bigger, making it easier to grab without getting hurt! Enemy arm weapon animations are modified (check the how to play video for hints on getting this weapon!) Other minor tweaks that add polish to the game! Thanks again for all the feedback and for playing Insanity's Blade! As always, please feel free let us know if there's any game breaking bugs and we'll be happy to take a look, but we also welcome you to check out our next title, Battle Princess Madelyn! -Chris and Daven Causal Bit Games

- Insanity's Blade V1.18 Update! - 26 November 2015
Hello All! We've just released the V1.18 patch which fixes a few bugs that might have occurred when starting a new game or playing ARCADE mode right after beating the game and returning the to title screen, and should be one of the last patches to Insanity's Blade unless any other game-breaking bugs might crop up. This is also a good time for us to mention our next title:Battle Princess Madelyn which has a play-through video of the two stage prototype up on YouTube already! We've learned a lot in the process of developing, crowdfunding, releasing, and maintaining Insanity's Blade which will be reflected by this upcoming game. We're also switching from the HTML5-based Construct 2 to Unity, which means Battle Princess Madelyn is coming to consoles first as well as eventually releasing on Steam with much better performance through native export, and hopefully support for a greater range of…
