- Online multiplayer now available with Remote Play Together! - 21 October 2019
Hi everyone! Steam just added a new feature called "Remote Play Together" that will allow you to play local games, but online with friends! You only need 2 things: the game (one person is enough) and a good Internet connection. How to play with Remote Play Together? Right click on a friend in your Steam friend list, and pick the "Invite to Remote Play Together" option, it's that easy. You'll be connected through the cloud to the same game, like if you were playing locally together. However, the Remote Play Together feature is still in beta, and requires to be on the beta channel of Steam updates. How to enable Steam beta? Go to your Steam settings. In the Account tab, click on "Change" and opt-in for Beta participation. Steam will then restart and you should be good to go! It is also the occasion to see the new Library if you haven't seen it yet. Have fun!

As you may have seen on the news page, Bombslinger will leave Early Access on April 11th and be available on Xbox, Switch and here on Steam of course. We're super excited not only for the release but also because we're adding the last slice of content to the game. You'll need to get to end of the adventure to see it though! This also means this will most likely be the last major update before the proper release. This update is particularly PC-focused and aims to improve the controls' configuration and display. Improved and fixed the keyboard controls configuration process. Keyboard keys are now properly displayed in-game. Improved UI readability on special items / detonator swapping icons. Fixed bug where an item in the shop would be bought if unpa…

- Bomberman-inspired action game Bombslinger blasting out of Early Access next month - 7 March 2018
Bombslinger is a Spaghetti Western "action-maze" game unabashedly inspired by Bomberman. It can be played solo or in local co-op with up to three friends (or bots), and it's launching out of Steam Early Access on April 11. It's currently $12, and developer Mode4 says they're planning to increase the price once it officially releases. You are the titular Bombslinger, a former bandit on a quest to avenge his wife's murder by taking down the gang he once led. To do so, you'll have to explode your way through procedurally generated levels in order to reach the gang's new boss, then make him explode too.  There's more than a bit of roguelike to Bombslinger. Judging from the images on its Steam page, you can increase your health and bomb count as you progress, and loot dozens of items which add and alter abilities. The core loop is true-blue Bomberman,…

- UPDATE #13! SUMMER BLAST UPDATE - 14 August 2017
Howdy! We're hoping summer is treating you well! Apologies for going dark for a while but we needed to dig in the game, rehaul everything we deemend "unworthy"and integrate all the "meta" progression in the adventure mode. As a result the list of changes is just too long to post. Also, we...ehr.... did a poor job at writing it down as we went ^^. Long story short, this update is all about polishing the game (of course!) adding all the loadout content: 32 items... all linked to 29 achievements (not integrated with Steam yet) polishing the rooms improving the UI in the whole game adding more items (Bomb kick!) adding spanish and german language support We still have a few months to go before the game is properly released and we'll use the time to: Add multiplayer bots Finish the final level boss set piece, bringing the game to content-full state Integrate Steam achievements Polish more Fi…

- UPDATE #10: Lots of stuff! - 17 March 2017
Howdy! Update number 10! It's a chunky one! We've been polishing and optimizing the game lately, improving the handling of the items and giving the audio some love. We also added a consumable item slot to allow the Bombslinger to carry more stuff around. We feel this update marks a good increase in the overall level of polish. Two more weeks of polish ahead before moving on to finishing the production of the last big chunk of content, achievements and so on. Enjoy the update and let us know what you think! And if you're in London at the end of the month, come and meet us at EGX Rezzed. HAPPY BOMBSLINGING!

- UPDATE #9: MULTIPLAYER ACT II - 17 February 2017
Howdy! We took these last few weeks to rehaul the multiplayer component of the game and make it a much more enjoyable experience! Hopefully you'll find way more polished, stable and feature-rich. We're voluntarily keeping it simple in terms of games modes with an Quake-inspired deathmatch mode and a classic Last man standing one. We also heavily reduced the memory usage of the game. Let us know if you encounter performance issues! We're moving back to working on the single player adventure in the upcoming weeks and we'll be showcasing the game at EGX Rezzed in London in April. HAPPY BOMBSLINGING! CHANGE LOG Multiplayer battles have been overhauled for a better all-round experience, including sudden death, soft blocks repopulation, support for draw cases and timer. Massive memory usage reduction. Removed the watermelon icon as it could be misinterpreted as a racial stereotype we were not…

- UPDATE #8: New UI Layout - 21 December 2016
HOWDY! A new update is live. We played around with the in-game UI layout to make it more pleasant and readable. We still want to improve part of it but the feedback on the spirit required to use special items is more readable now (as in, "there is feedback now" ^^). Trading cards, badges, emoticons and profile backgrounds are also in validation so they should be available super soon. This is the last update we're doing until January as the Mode4 team is taking a couple of weeks off. That doesn't apply to us replying to questions / feedback, so let us know your thoughts about Bombslinger! Enjoy the Xmas break and keep Bombslinging! CHANGE LOG Improved the layout of the in-game interface Better feedback on the spirit bar Unlocked items are now visible on the game over screen (more to come on this!) Fixed some behavior issues on the evil goats Fixed some localization issues Fixes and impro…
