- The Age of Vaporum is Over (for now at least) - 22 April 2021
What's next for Fatbot Games? Dear fans! On behalf of the whole team, let me wish you all good health and stability in this unstable and dangerous time. We highly appreciate the effort and sacrifice of the people fighting the virus, and we also feel for those whose health and/or living have been compromised by the pandemic. The situation in the last few months has been very serious, including in our own country which is in the top 10 most deaths per capita in the world among countries with a population of over a million people, and so we are very grateful that no one in the team nor any close relative of ours has fallen ill. Thanks to that, we could work more or less undisturbed and release our second game in September of last year (2020). Our Second Game is Out! Vaporum: Lockdown, released on September 15, 2020 on Steam, GOG, and Humble (Windows, Mac, Linux), is the second game of our…
- Vaporum: Lockdown out NOW! - 15 September 2020
Vaporum: Lockdown, prequel to critically acclaimed Vaporum, is out now! Get it here on Steam and also be sure to check out the Vaporum Loyalty Bundle! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1161880/Vaporum_Lockdown/ For a tiny indie team such as ours, it’s a great privilege to be able to release our second game. We’re super grateful for all of you, the fans who supported us throughout the development of this game. We hope you will enjoy this labor of sweat & tears, but also much love! What started as an idea for a datadisk that would bring a few new levels and maybe 1 or 2 new minor features, has grown into a fully fledged standalone game that is as big as the original game, if not bigger. Lockdown brings many improvements on almost everything that made Vaporum good, plus a host of new features and quality of life upgrades. Just to name a few: New storyline following a female protagonist, E…
- Feature Preview: Supreme Puzzles Floor - 28 April 2020
Hey, fellow dungeoneers! I hope you’re healthy and safe, following the instructions to protect yourself and the others in these troubled times. A big shout-out to everyone who’s fighting the disease or helping to overcome the whole situation! Each member of our little studio works from home now, and despite it being a lot less effective and slower, we still tirelessly work for Vaporum: Lockdown to be the title that you’ll love. Today, I’d like to talk about how we want to tackle the difficulty and categorization of puzzles, based on your feedback from the original game. Some of you welcomed the hardcore challenge of the tougher puzzles, but the rest mostly preferred and enjoyed the other mechanics so typical for the genre, not so much puzzles. It’s a big challenge to please both crowds without making it all just “meh”, while still keeping the game balanced and consistent. Thanks to some…

- Vaporum: Lockdown Postponed to Q2 2020 - 16 March 2020
First of all, we'd like to thank you all for your continuous support! We really appreciate every bit of it! The first reason for postponing the release is quite typical for gamedev. Even though we originally planned to make something smaller, we think that you, our community, deserve a little more than just a short "level pack". The project has grown into a fully fledged, standalone game that expands on everything that made Vaporum good, and also brings a lot of new, fresh ideas. Since we're a small team of enthusiasts, the desire to enrich and "fatten" the experience has won over releasing it too early without a lot of "meat". On the other hand, of course, such a decision costs time. You can be certain of one thing though -- we will use all this added time to make sure the game is as fun and enjoyable to play as we can make it! The second, more sinister reason is obvious, currently aff…

- Level Design Contest results are in! - 11 February 2020
Hey there, everyone! By the end of last year, we announced a level design contest, giving you guys a chance for your ideas to get into our upcoming game Vaporum: Lockdown, a prequel to Vaporum. The author of the winning submission is Lukáš Kušnier. Congratulations! From all the submissions we’ve received, his design clearly stands out, in both visual & textual presentation and the core idea it revolves around. The clever combination of existing mechanics and interactive elements makes it an ideal candidate as a part of our special level in Lockdown. You will find a special floor filled with the toughest puzzles and unique rewards. All these will be purely optional, so if you don’t feel like it, you can skip them altogether. Lukáš will: - Have his puzzle included in Vaporum: Lockdown. - Be credited in Vaporum: Lockdown. - Receive a signed Vaporum Signature Edition for the Nintendo Switch…
- Lockdown - New Area, New Enemy, New Screenshots! - 23 December 2019
Hey there, fellow crawlers! We have a small Christmas present for you, a glimpse into an area you will get to explore in Vaporum: Lockdown. We know we’re a little quiet, but that’s because we are tirelessly working on the prequel. More specifically, building individual levels, iterating on puzzles, and tuning combat zones for the best possible fun experience. Take a look at one of the levels (and their inhabitants) that was supposed to serve the whole tower with food, the Hydroponics Lab. One of the very first endeavors of the Arx should be to establish permanent food independence. Based on the Supreme Bureau’s Security Regulation for Scientific Research in Long-Term Isolation, commissary Rowan Rogers (#241191) has issued an order to build a hydroponic bay in one of the first finished parts of the tower. Representatives of the Research Board hope that the installation will not only secu…
- Lockdown Level Design Contest 2019 - 29 November 2019
As you know from our annoucement, we're working on Vaporum: Lockdown (a prequel to Vaporum), due to release in 2020. The community has received Vaporum very well, but has also given us a lot of suggestions on how to improve the game, or even add original situations and gameplay elements. Based on that, we decided to call upon you, Vaporum and dungeon crawler fans, to join forces in the creative process in making Vaporum: Lockdown! We're announcing the Lockdown Level Design Contest! The goal: Design a single, self-contained level for Vaporum: Lockdown. Maximum size: 20x20 squares. Reward for the winner: A physical Vaporum Signature Edition for Nintendo Switch, signed by Vaporum's devs (if the author wishes so). A free Vaporum: Lockdown key for any platform. An exceptionally well-made design may make it into the final game. If it does: The author will be credited in the game's Credits scr…

Vaporum: Lockdown follows the story of Lisa Teller, a teleport operator & scientist, who struggles to survive the aftermath of a terrible event. You will encounter even nastier enemies with unique strengths and attack patterns. To beat them, you will have to employ a broad array of weapons, gadgets, upgrades, and smart tactics. Fortunately, there’s plenty of new powerful toys…
