- Gunkid 99 - v1.04 - 14 May 2019
A small balancing patch. Changelog The ability 'Overkill' has been adjusted to prevent it from reaching a broken situation whereby players can gain health faster than they can lose it. The maximum amount of excess damage you can gain from Overkill is now capped at 20. That means if you manage to do 35 damage to an enemy with 4 hitpoints, instead of absorbing the excess 31 points of damage you will only absorb 20. The amount needed to gain an additional health remains unchanged (180 points). In additional, when the Player has been hurt and is currently invulnerable, no excess damage will be adsorbed.
- Gunkid 99 - v1.03 - 27 March 2019
Updates Gunkid 99 is now available in Spanish! Credits to David de la Nuez. Huge thanks for the translation! :) The option to stop Steam Leaderboard from appearing after every run has also been added. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2F954b25015b5770fa84d6e7c528a7e780ecf8a8ac.gif Some players have reported that the game sometimes crashes when the Leaderboard appears. Unfortunately I've been unable to determine the cause and I think the problem may be on Steam's end. Switching off the Leaderboard is the best option for now. You will still be able access the Leaderboard from the Stage selection menu. And I've also changed the save system so that the game automatically saves before the Leaderboard appears. So in case of a crash your highscore records and coin rewards will still be saved in the game. Changelog - Fixed a bug where you couldn't buy Ite…
- Gunkid 99 - Shop Update - 22 March 2019
Hi all! With this update I've finally implemented a feature that has been on my mind for some time now. And that is: Selling Weapons you've bought back to the Shop https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2Fc54e4caed225cba2cd2a46cd1e972fc2eecf0894.gif As you already know, weapons from the Shop will start spawning in 'Normal' Mode once bought and unlocked. However, you might find yourself regretting the purchase but has no recourse to stop it from spawning other than equipping the equivalent Weapon-Blocker. With this update, any weapon sold back to the Shop will stop spawning in-game. Of course this only applies to weapons found in the Shop. Weapons you've naturally unlocked as you progress through the game cannot be sold! Now that there is no risk of being stuck with an undesired weapon, I hope this will incentivize some of you to give the various weapon…
- Gunkid 99 - v1.01 Patches and Updates - 16 March 2019
Hi all, Hope all you have enjoyed the game thus far! :) Here's some updates and patches made to the game. Steam Leader-boards In order to entice your competitive spirits, I've decided to make the Leader-boards a lot more prominent than before. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2Fd7b72e5d4b972eadbc8f24165bde7d2fdf35e3b1.gif Some of you will have probably seen this already. The Leader-board is now automatically displayed whenever a round ends. Check out where you stand on the scoreboard! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2F7ac0380982cba788162b2b19e1ae44071665e2e4.gif Accessing Leader-boards from Stage selection is also less of a hassle now. Just click the arrow buttons to scroll through the various stages instead of clicking the stage buttons manually one by one. I hope that has gotten your competitive spirits…

- Gunkid 99 devlog: a peek at the last and final world, World-5! - 9 February 2019
After more than a year of development, we've finally arrived at the end-game! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2Fb02696aa1a70cd1d5fcdb4c22d7ffaaba1719aae.gif World-5 will be the last and final 'World' in Gunkid 99. Rather than having a new theme, World-5 will mash-up everything you've seen thus far to create the most unique and challenging stages yet. Because the difficulty has been upped significantly for this final 'World', the pacing will need to be adjusted accordingly. As such, there will only be four stages instead of the usual seven. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2Fa06752893626b9f0e14fe66632cd4749c53a9bb7.gif Here we have the bounce-pads originally of World-4 implanted into World-2's lava stage. Needless to say, bouncing around in a lava-filled stage is not safest of activity so players will have…
- Gunkid 99 devlog: Leaderboards! - 1 February 2019
Steam Leaderboards have been implemented! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2Fba8268290c2deedcc6766873cb797da99104838f.gif If you have been playing the demo recently, you may find that your scores have already been recorded onto the leaderboards. Just click on the button for a particular stage and click on steam-leaderboard to see where you stand. Normal-mode and Equipped-mode have separate leaderboards. If I may ask a favor of you, it would be great if you could get your Steam friends to try out the demo. I'd like to give the Leaderboards a bit of a stress test and the 'Friends ' tab could use more testing :) Get that highscore!
- Gunkid 99 devlog: a look at World 4! - 13 December 2018
World 4 is here! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2F9e8e6be5c71e17721f30661aeb0f56a8b7b2a260.gif World 4 is robot/tech themed. Expect a much higher difficulty, even the environment is out to get you! Some stages can be rather tricky(but fun!) to navigate, like the bouncing pad below: https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2F7f84c041ba3a200ec3a2b795dd9c90d5c95e35f5.gif Make use of the pad to overcome the height and traverse the stage quicker. Your survival might depend on it. Even the enemies of World 4 have a few tricks up their sleeves. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2Fa6f963c4296ae41f31df84fd01424bc59dbfbb8f.gif The happy flying-bot looks deceptively slow at first glance, but with each hit it takes, it becomes faster (and angrier).

- Demo Update! v0.3.3 - 1 November 2018
Patch Note: - Pressing down will now let you drop down from platforms. A new checkbox called 'Down Lock' has been added in the Key-bindings menu, enabling this will stop you from being able to drop down from platforms with just the down button. You'd have to press 'Down + Jump' (the previous method) or double-tap 'Down' instead. - You can now also drop down from platforms while doing a dodge-roll by pressing down. (or the other buttons combination mentioned above) Basically anything to do with moving through platforms is now smoother than before. - Camera issue for certain monitor resolutions have been fixed. (If you still have problems, please feedback to me!) - Minor hit-box adjustments. - Slightly better path-finding for Flying Slime. - Fixed a bug where the game icon doesn't appear on the taskbar when you ctrl-tap out of the game.
- Devlog: Updates and patches! - 21 October 2018
Hi all! Have you enjoyed playing Gunkid 99? Patch notes - One of the most frequent feedback I've received was that it's very easy to unintentionally click outside of the game-window during play and disrupt the game. Well, I fixed that! you'll regain control of your mouse when the game is paused. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2Fc995beb1ab3914c745928cc19cec45d5904c8883.gif - Fixed an issue where keyboard is locked whenever a controller/gamepad is detected as being connected, even if you are not actually using said controller. Now the controls will automatically switch to either controller or mouse+keyboard depending on which you last use. - Performing a jump from a platform might have made you drop down from it instead because of pressing ever-so-slightly down on the analogue-stick. That is fixed now, only more obvious down-push will be register…
- FIRST ACCESS available now on Itch.io! - 11 October 2018
Gunkid 99 is now available on Itch.io for FIRST ACCESS!! https://yongjustyong.itch.io/gunkid99 What is First Access? It's functionally the same as Early Access, where you can help me shape and improve the game with your feedback. Except it's only available on Itch.io. So why not have early access on Steam then? Well, early access is not what it once used to be, these days an early access release on Steam is more comparable to a full release. If I release the game on Steam now as is, it will very likely be buried immediately. If you get Gunkid 99 on Itch.io now, you WILL still receive a Steam key once the game is ready for release here on Steam! (you can wishlist it to be notified of full release) The game is available now for USD$4.99, with a 10% discount until 21st Oct. Oh, and I also made a discord channel for the game, come on over for a chat. Discord Invite: https://discord.gg/XCVew…
- Demo updates and fixes - 1 October 2018
Hi there, thank you to all who've played the demo. Some updates and bug fixes: - Fixed camera issue for certain stages (thanks to Sky and StandoPawah for the report). - Mouse can no longer leaves game-window during combat. Pausing the game will still allow you to go beyond the game-window. - Weapons for sale in the Shop will appear in the Training Room along with other unlocked weapons so that you can try them out first before deciding if you wanna buy 'em. Please do not hesitate to leave a comment either here or in the Bugs report if you encounter anything that do not seem to be working as intended! Enjoy the demo! :)

Stay tuned for more updates!
- Devlog: Weapons! - 31 August 2018
Development has been chugging along smoothly. I've been hard at work creating unconventional weapons that I think will add to the game quite nicely and give players the option to try out more varied play-styles. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2F74aa505419821ee5dc5b22635b99cde3ec6f5027.gif First up, Boomerang! The Boomerang is powerful but can be quite tricky to use. Only throw the Boomerang at the right moment or you'll find yourself defenceless without a weapon on hand. To compensate for its vulnerabilities, the Boomerang will destroy any enemy projectile it touches. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2F3698a2a07f13fe9a849542192488c12104744044.gif Void-gun.

- Demo release! - 10 August 2018
Hi all! The demo is finally in a state where I think it's suitable for release on Steam! You can now download the demo from 99999's Store page. I've made some significant changes after all the feedback received from the previous versions of the demo. Onto the changes: Hit Sprites Amid the chaos, it can sometimes be hard to tell when you get hit. Hurt sprites and animation is now a lot more obvious. Because of the longer animation, recovery time(you can tell by the player sprite fading in and out) is also extended for balance. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2F9dac8eb7bf8131ce8f15140219146031ee00f5e1.gif Movement Pressing the down button meant the Player-avatar would get stuck in the kneeling position even if Left/Right was also being pressed, this was an especially common problem when using a controller(moving with analogue stick). Now, Left and…
- 99999: an introduction - 26 July 2018
Hi all! This post will be a basic introduction on what kind of a game 99999 exactly is. To put simply, 99999 is a fast-paced, high-score, arena-shooter inspired by Super Crate Box. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2F82bddc7f961241020b09defbd7e3686aed3eabae.gif And just like in SCB, you earn points by collecting weapons which spawn randomly across the map, and of course your weapon then changes. The huge number at the top of the screen is a count-down that happens when you leave your weapon uncollected for too long. I chose to do this to ramp up the urgency and increase the pace of the game. As you progress through the game you’d unlock more theme-Worlds, more stages, and of course, more weapons. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33250248%2Ff441527553be86a61a64f0e845ec00b183bb8481.gif https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/…
