Hey, you! It's long overdue that you heard about our next game: HYPERFUNK.
We released a first teaser of it over two months ago, flew to Tokyo Game Show to exhibit a small demo of it and came back.
But there is still a lot of game left to make. In the meantime we recommend skating around the Underworld and have a discount bundle of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Skate Story for you to do just that.
That's 10% off a contract turning you into a skateboarding demon made of glass and pain, if you already own BRC.

Want to grab seven Steam games for less than twenty bucks? A new Humble bundle deal fronted by the spectacular Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and intergalactic RTS Homeworld 3 lets you do just that. The stylish spiritual successor to 2000 classic Jet Set Radio boasts an 'overwhelmingly positive' Steam review score of 98%, but it deserves far more attention than it's had since its 2023 launch. Now, you can get it for a lower price than it's ever been sold on Steam, and snag six more games in the process.

Yeah, we get it, Mary's sick. Whatever. You wanna know who's really sick? James Sunderland, baby. We can prove it too, thanks to a brilliant Bomb Rush Cyberfunk mod that places the survival horror legend from the Silent Hill 2 Remake in a town full of tricks and skating rather than pricks in waiting.

Patch 3 changelog:
- Fixed the 'auto-save' bug. - Made quarterpipe multipliers reliable and fixed the ones in Hideout. - A rail in Millenium Square no longer breaks your combo if you jump from it going upwards. - Added missing wall collision to the ferry port to the pyramid. - Closed a gap letting players miss a checkpoint on entering the Versum Hill court. - Fixed Mataan dream death zone collision.

In this patch we have some more general fixes lined up. Some specific places were breaking combo's due to faulty setups, happy to say those have been mostly eradicated. You can take a look at the notes for the full picture.
The main dish of this patch is the improved pause menu map that now shows Taxi Signs, Cypher Spots and Public Toilets. The toilets will be visible from the get go, but the Taxi and Cypher spots you will have to discover yourself first before they show up on the map. We've also included a counter for how much stuff you still have left to collect in the current stage. Think outfits, skateboards, music or graffiti.
Additions Added voice lines for the Oldhead Added Sjoerd Poldermans to the dance credits Added map markers for available Toilets and discovered Cypher Spots and Taxi Signs Added collectable counter Added shuffle functionality to the Music app
Fixes Coil now reappears in Mataan even if you haven't gotten his text yet Red Felix appears in cyphers during appropriate sections in the game. Fixed more spots that caused your combo to drop in Versum Hill and Mataan. Fixed name of the Natas Spin trick. Apply language text changes along with language selection. Fixed collision issue in Mataan. Fixed tankwalker target reticules sticking around on using a toilet. Fixed NPC characters attacking turrets also teleporting the player. Fixed Felix not using his spraycan in the final dream. Fixed music and graffiti app not reopening in the same spot. Fixed getting stuck when dancing or pausing in front of an opening bmx door. Fixed Photo Generic achievement not unlocking reliably. Fixed mixtape restarting on every stage switch. Fixed missing support for unknown controllers. Fixed a bug where the game would crash on startup when the Steam cloud was disabled. Fixed a bug where the video settings of the PC would be applied to the Steam Deck, which would result in the Steam Deck version not launching. Character Select is no longer dependent on the frame rate.

A big shout out to indie games that are successors to existing games in all but name. It's gotta be one of my favourite trends. Fed up of waiting for a big publisher to revive a series that’s been lying dormant for decades? Simply do it yourself instead. 11 years after the release of Jet Set Radio Future, and with Sega seemingly unwilling to exhume their cult-favourite rollerblading series outside of weird crossovers with Ubisoft’s Roller Champions of all things, Team Reptile have done exactly that.
Enter Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, as authentic a sequel to Jet Set Radio as you can get. Dripping with style and oozing cool, the team have crafted a carefully observed love letter that both respects and advances the original duology in meaningful ways, while taking a step back in others.
Letting you all know we pushed this hotfix in addition to yesterday's Micro Boy patch. We are confident this patch solves the issue with people losing progress in rare situations due to exiting in an unexpected way leading to faulty save that made it revert to an old backup save.
Letting you all know we pushed this hotfix in addition to yesterday's Micro Boy patch. We are confident this patch solves the issue with people losing progress in rare situations due to exiting in an unexpected way leading to faulty save that made it revert to an old backup save. Of course if you want to be completely safe, we usually suggest using the quit buttons in the game to close the game (although we always slap ALT-F4 ourselves).
Fixes
Fixed auto save / loss of progress issues
Fixed intrusive / repeating garage unlock cutscenes that messed up in some situations

Hey everyone, Dion here. We had a crazy good launch so here's a big thank you from the team to you for playing our game. Looking at the numbers we can see people spend 10 to 12 hours on a comfortable playthrough, double that for a 100%. But we are also happy to see people going wild with mods to get even more out of the game.
In this first patch we focused on fixing mostly technical issues. Still, we managed to sneak a new app onto your flip phone: Micro Boy. I'll tell you right now it doesn't give you anything in the game, but you can't really have a flip phone without a good mini game on it in my opinion.
Other than that some ease of use of the game has been improved as well. Rest assured we plan to tackle the information shown on the map and pause menu among other things in an upcoming patch.
Additions
Added Micro Boy mobile game to the flip phone apps
Added a cypher spot to the Hideout
Added Knxwledge - hwbouths to the Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Soundtrack
Added album art to the Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Soundtrack
Added Paul Koster to Environment Artists in Credits
Added Localization teams to Credits
Added Benni the taxi driver's missing voice in taxi menu related cutscenes
Added OpenGL Core backend to Windows build
Added support for changing the movement controls and phone movement controls
Added a more explicit boost gate door to the intro of the chapter 3 dream
Fixes
Fixed the transition from Versum Hill to Millennium Square sometimes soft locking
Fixed combo multipliers not resetting when entering a Robo-post mid combo
Fixed certain building edges in Mataan considered safe to respawn on
Fixed the police heat sensitivity being overly high in chapter 6
Moved garage unlocks to be one chapter earlier so discovered movestyle colorways can be used earlier
Fixed getting REP for redoing a graffiti spot after another crew has gone over it again
Fixed movestyle garages not working when playing as the FRANKS
Fixed a graffiti spot on a high billboard in Brink Terminal that did not save
Graffiti at the end of races no longer disappear upon reload
Completed Combat Encounters are not set as REP target anymore
Fixed Felix's last 2 outfits unlocking before finding the collectables for them
Fixed a lot of faulty grind lines that were breaking combos
Fixed many issues with missing colliders in the environment
Fixed Nice achievement now also works with BMX and Inline Skates
Fixed the artist and title names on several small graffiti pieces
Fixed VSYNC setting getting saved incorrectly
Players should no longer be locked out of boss battle environments when they fall out of the level
Oldhead, Base and Jay show correct number of outfits in character select
Players should no longer be able to fall out of the chapter 5 dream intro
Map on phone should no longer show graffiti spots that are not yet available
Fixed Rise’s second challenge activating before the first challenge is completed
The game no longer halts execution when the game does not have focus
Increased speed at which you can skip a cutscene
Ensured player loads into the right scene after a crash during scene changes so that cutscenes and character/movestyles/phone app unlocks are not missed by any chance
Shader change for certain VFX used by enemies including turrets that caused crashes for certain players on older hardware

Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase aired last night, showing off more than a dozen interesting, indie titles that’ll be coming to the Nintendo Switch during 2023. The clue is in the name when it comes to what was on display; indie titles.
So, if you’re looking for a morsel of hope that Hollow Knight: Silksong is happening this summer, I have to sadly break it to you that no, it did not show up at the showcase. That said, plenty of other games shown off might tide you over until we eventually, one day, receive an update on Silksong.
You can watch the Indie World Showcase over on Nintendo’s website, but for those who prefer to read a round-up, I’ve got you covered.

After a slight delay, the cel-shaded platformer Bomb Rush Cyberfunk finally has a release date: August 18th. It’s been a long wait for Cyberfunk after it was first announced in 2020, and to make the wait even more excruciating, the game is a spiritual successor to the dormant Jet Set Radio series. As such, you’ll be skating, dancing, and graffitiing across a colourful 3D city with a style to die for.

It's been too quiet here!
While we were heads down working on the game, that doesn't mean there hasn't been anything to share.
The big news: We have shown off a first public demo at a few local events. You can find bootleg videos of it around the net.
The team is going hard to get the full game ready for summer 2023. The rest of this year is all about bringing the main bulk of the game to completion, start to finish. Which leaves next year to tie up lose ends, side missions, localisation, polish, publishing and more. It's a tight schedule!
So let's take a look at something we've shown off in more detail with demo:
The way you move around in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk!
The game first started with only on foot action. But it has now grown to include skateboards, BMX and inline skates (read more about it from Dion Koster) :
With those new styles there are also changes to how they all work together.
You won't be grinding on your shoes in this game.
Instead you automatically switch to your current set of wheels on hitting a grind (or half pipe!). And trying to ride up stairs will bring you back on your feet. But you can also swap between the two at the press of a button!
So what sets wheels and feet apart besides different tricks and speed? Why would you still bother to walk? Well, well!
You can slide while on foot. This is the only way to gain speed from boost lanes or passing under low gaps! And there is a special high jump available when you are not on wheels.
Each type of wheels also has something unique to them. The skateboard for example is the only movestyle that can use a natas spin like this:
On to tricks and combos!
After you've covered another crews turf with your graffiti, you get to contest them on it in a score challenge.
So how does the scoring system work?
Let's start with the buttons.
How many trick buttons do you need? One? That's not enough. We are giving you three! Each one has a dedicated trick tied to it, for full control over your combo chains. Three tricks on the ground. Three tricks in the air. Three tricks on a grind. The more you mix it up, the better your score. Not enough? There are also special boost tricks for each situation that reward more points.
Tricks will form a combo as long as you keep the chain going. You can extend them further by landing with a slide or manual. If you are coming from higher ground, this will also give you extra speed.
The next part is how you turn a combo into a real high score: the Multiplier. You can run or ride on billboards and lean into hard corners on a grind.
Every new billboard or hard corner you hit during a combo will increase your multiplier by one. The more of them you can find and string into a single combo, the higher your score will be.

It’s funny remembering a game you’ve never played. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk’s latest gameplay trailer triggered all kinds of nostalgia for me, but it’s not out until next year. Either I’m a time-traveller, or the skating graffiti game is managing to ape Jet Set Radio so expertly that it’s indistinguishable from my memories of the Dreamcast game. I don’t already know tonight’s lottery numbers, so it’s probably the second one.

Until that's done we still have more to share though. Starting off with one of the crews you will meet:
IT'S THE FRANKS
These stitched up B-Ballers are of mixed heritage and one of the neighbourhoods is their turf.

Team Reptile of Lethal League fame have put out a teaser for their next game and dang if it doesn’t look like a Jet Set Radio revival. It’s not though, at least not literally. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk does share a lot with JSR: tagging, tricks, cops, and its composer Hideki Naganuma.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk does share a lot with JSR: tagging, tricks, cops, and its composer Hideki Naganuma. The teaser trailer is a short 14 seconds but it doesn’t take even that long to catch its vibe.
