Latest Steam announcements

  • My next game, Kill the Twister, is available now! - 11 April 2025

    Greetings, sim dwellers... Been a while :] It's been a crazy six (6!), going on seven (7!!!) years since Shooting Hurts was first released, but I'm pleased to say that I've finally got another new game that you can check out now for *free* on Steam and Itch.io: Kill the Twister! Presented as a one-off FPS bossfight, play as The Weatherman and take on a massive tornado that's tearing its way across the countryside. With a hopefully familiar amount of jumping, dodging and shooting, players will defeat the tornado by tossing in explosives and setting off fun little setpieces. It's been a really fun project to work on, and my hope is that it serves as a nice evolution of what I learned from Shooting Hurts. You can check it out here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3417820/Kill_the_Twister/ I'll be keeping most news/ updates on the games Steam community page and my Bluesky account (which…

  • Three Years of Shooting Hurts! - 18 September 2021

    Hello again everyone! As of today, it has been three whole years since Shooting Hurts was first released! Since I always get real nostalgic during moments like these, I decided to make a fun little Twitter thread of Shooting Hurts trivia! It has a few details about the secrets, story, and development of the game, so check it out if any of that would interest you! You can view the thread here I don't have any news or updates regarding futures projects yet, I'm afraid. But, should I have any big announcements, I'll be sure to post about it both here and on Twitter! Until next time, everyone!

  • Happy Birthday Shooting Hurts! - 18 September 2019

    Today is the one-year anniversary of Shooting Hurts! I just wanted to take a sec to thank everyone who’s given my little game a try! Seeing your reactions though reviews, posts and videos has been a fantastic experience. It’s genuinely amazing to think that so many people have tried out and had fun playing through something I spent so long bringing to life. Developing and releasing Shooting Hurts has been such a ride, and I’m excited to see where game development takes me in the future! I had wanted to have a new project ready for the anniversary, but what with college heating up and the general craziness life can throw, I’m afraid to say I don’t have anything substantial for you all yet. BUT, if you want to take a peek into the kind of things I’ve been working on, you should go ahead and follow me on twitter here! I’m planning to start regularly posting small videos and screenshots to…

  • Options Update Patch - 22 October 2018

    It seems I forgot to disable a few debugging features when I pushed the latest update. They should all be properly disabled now, and the game should be fully playable again!

  • Options Update! - 18 October 2018

    Hi everyone, me again! Today's a special day: it's been exactly one month since Shooting Hurts was first released on Steam, and to celebrate, I wanted to add in a small update that finally adds in an options menu! The menu is accessible in the pause menu of the game, and allows you to adjust your field of view, mouse sensitivity and the volume of the game. Settings are saved when you apply them and should persist when you close and reopen the game. I have one or two more settings I'd like to add in later on, but if there are any settings you think would improve your experience with the game, feel free to suggest them in the comments/ discussion boards. They just might make it in! In the meantime, I hope you all have a better adjusted time with Shooting Hurts! Good Luck!

  • Achievements Update! - 1 October 2018

    Hi everybody, to celebrate the beginning of October, I've released an update that enables all the achievements! You should now be able to view almost all of them in your steam library. My hope is that this adds nice layer to the game that gives it a little more replay-ability. (I personally recommend starting a new game to unlock achievements, if only to prevent a few of them from unlocking all at once) In addition, I also made a few small tweaks to the game to fix some bugs and improve the experience. I hope you all enjoy! Good luck!

  • What a week! - 26 September 2018

    Hi everybody! It's been a week now since Shooting Hurts was released and what a week it has been (We've passed 4,000 downloads!) Since the release, life has found a way to keep me pretty busy, but I found the time to churn out a patch to cap off the first week! You should be able to update the game and try it out for yourself. Here's a list of everything noticeable that has been changed: -Fixed door audio bug: door closing/ opening animations should now be synced with the audio -Fixed mouse not being hidden when starting a level (this one REALLY bugged me) -Fixed Large Gnat collision: large gnats should now behave exactly like normal ones -Fixed extra opening sounds: doors would replay the opening sound if large gnats were defeated after they opened. They do not do that now. It's mainly bug fixes for now, but this update also contains the framework for achievements! So far there is only…

  • Day 3 Check-in: 1,000 Downloads! - 21 September 2018

    Hi everyone! Late yesterday, Shooting Hurts passed the 1,000 downloads mark! I'm truly in awe that so many of you have taken the time to try out my game. I've loved seeing what you all think of the game, watching you push through its challenges and even find the secrets it has (shout out to ChickenNuggs)! I have a few things planned for this game still, an update or two to try and fix some bugs and *maybe* add in a few things... I'll have to see what my Options are, and think through what I can Achieve with the time I have. In the meantime, stay tuned for more information, and consider following my twitter account for more frequent updates: https://twitter.com/JVidal_GameDev Thanks again to everyone for trying out my game! Good luck!

  • Here We Go! - 18 September 2018

    After over a year and a half in development, I'm proud to announce that Shooting Hurts is now available for download! 100% free, anyone with a Windows or Mac device can give it a try! Shooting Hurts is designed to be a fun, but challenging game. With about a dozen levels to complete and a final challenge for those who can face it. My goal is for it to be an entertaining way to spend a few hours. I'm very excited to see how people react to this game, and how fast they uncover all there is to see in it. Stay tuned for future updates! Good Luck!

Short description

A brand new AI, a weapon that turns its health into projectiles, and a gauntlet of tests designed to test their limits. How will you make every shot count when shooting hurts?

About this game

Assume the role of a newly generated AI known as C.R.E-3d who was created for one purpose: to test an experimental energy weapon known as the Energy Projectile Converter. The E.P.C. is a special weapon that is able to turn your health into projectiles, as well as generate solid platforms. Using these two functions, you will run, jump, and at times even shoot your way through numerous chambers packed with enemies designed to test your ability. How will you overcome them all and face the final challenge, when your own weapon is damaging to use? How will you make every shot count, when shooting hurts? This game is 100% free, and features no In-Game purchases or microtransactions

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 21, 2026 to Sep 21, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

Shooting Hurts's USD price history spans from Sep 21, 2026 to Sep 21, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Shooting Hurts's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 21, 2026 through Sep 21, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Shooting Hurts at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
