- Playtest Coming Soon - 1 March 2025
Hello, The demo playtest will be available in a few months, if nothing goes wrong. A "Request Access" button has appeared, so you can use it to receive a notification when the playtest launches. Also, I've decided to remove the demo because it became too outdated and no longer represents the game well. (Though if you still want to play it, you can find it on Itch.) And if you haven’t watched these nice GIFs from the upcoming update yet, here they are:
- Work in Progress. - 28 October 2024
Let me tell you about some work in progress. Right now, we want to create and add amazing cutscenes to the game, and here’s a draft animation of one. We want to add more characters and stories, and here are some new faces. Additionally, there will be upgrades for the characters, as well as quest items and keys, which will be displayed on the items screen. Don't all of these things look nice? I think they do. (As for when the demo update #6 could be released, I still have no clue.)
- News and Plans - 19 August 2024
Hello, There was another period of silence, but the game is still in progress. It's still a hobby-art-project without a clear release date. However, I'm planning to release a new demo playtest soon (soon?). Here are some features that will be included in the update: A nice clown-acrobatic dodge roll move. A combo-counter that counts combos. Character model selection, with a wide variety of the worst people to choose from. Traders and special services where you can spend hard-earned money taken from some cold dead hands. An absolutely glorious world map to explore. And some other things. The playtest was supposed to happen in mid-summer, but it didn’t. When it will happen — no one knows. Anyway, the main goal is to release the game before a nuclear apocalypse or lethal virus annihilation, so please be patient, and thanks for your kind words of support. Have a nice day!

- Demo Update #4 - 26 October 2023
Minor Update: - Control bindings (by the way, the game works with a gamepad). - New post-processing filter. - The saw enemies now feature 3D sound for their saws. - Small fixes. In addition, we've tried to launch the game on the Steam Deck, and here are the results: 1 - It works. 2 - ~30 FPS, so it's playable. However, the next update will likely focus on optimization.
- DEMO on SHMUP - 25 September 2023
