  • Update 1.1! - 12 May 2024

    Photonic Distress V1.1 This update is coming in hot with multiple new features and Quality Of Life additions/changes! Lights ON! We've had a lot of positive feedback from players who loved the pickup that would light up the whole level. So now for Easy and Medium difficulties the lights will be always on! Don't worry though, your Photon Gun is still very important (see below). If you are a hardcore Photonic Distress player, you'll be happy to know that the darkness is still there for a challenge in Hard and Impossible modes! You will now encounter enemies as you go through the level! They are not spawned initially and will only spawn when you get close. Shoot them with your Photon Gun or blast a scan grenade to kill them. Scan grenade also makes them spawn earlier, so be sure to throw it ahead to reveal/spawn enemies! Follow up with another one to kill them or shoot them from afar once…

  • Update 1.0.1 out! - 7 November 2018

    Hey everyone! November 6, 2018 V1.0.1 Based on community and streamer feedback the following changes have been made Changelog: - When talking to tutorial characters, you now need to press Interact (Default E) to go to the next page. This eliminates discomfort for fast readers and lets players dictate the rate at which the text changes. - Fixed inconsistent Photon spawn location when shooting (especially when looking down) - Added "Duck Jump" step to tutorial, since many players didnt figure out that it provides an advantage and some tiles can only be traversed using the "Duck Jump" technique - Air control! More players expressed the desire to have some degress of control while airborne (jumping). Air control ratio is now set at 0.4 of regular walkspeed while in air. No more narrowly missed jumps! You can adjust enroute. - Updated some tutorial texts - Photons scaled down by 20% - Pickup…

  • Release and upcoming competition! - 22 July 2018

    Hello everyone! We at GRIP420 are very excited for Photonic Distress releasing on Steam. We are a tiny indie studio with just a couple of active devs and some very good friends helping us. Regardless of our size, we've put as much work into polishing PD as we could before we even thought of putting it on Steam. We avoided Early Access specifically. Nevertheless as we all know there is no such thing as a perfect piece of software (except Half-Life 3). So after release we will actively support the game and fix all bugs that might show up. To try and give back to community we are planning a small competition: PD includes small speedrunning/timetracking elements that track your current level and overall time. We plan to give away some Steam wallet gift cards for best times in each of 4 difficulties: Easy, Medium, Hard and Impossible. We are also planning to tie the number of gift cards give…
