Developer posts and news about this game.
Waves and Waves 2: Notorious are two rather good twin-stick shooters and sadly, the developer died after a battle with Cancer and so now both games are free to keep for everyone. Read the full article here:

Over the last few Dev Streams, I have been working away on the new Attract Utility Program. Like the previously announced revamp of Glitch it uses the same slot as Slowmo but has significantly different functionality. Attract gets dropped in the direction you are aiming and any e

Thank you to everybody who is helping localize the game over on localizor ! Since we started I've added Spanish and Slovak by request and translations are underway for both of them already. I also spent a few days going over the text strings in the game and pruning all the ones t

Join the few, the proud, the multilingual! If you speak any languages in addition to English then perhaps you can help translate the text in the game so that others might enjoy it as much as you do! I'm using a site called localizor to manage the community translation of the game

I know it's been a long time but all I can say is it's 2020! As a solo developer sometimes you have to just bite the bullet and get a "real" job (aka one that pays a living wage) which is what I did. Development continues but I'm not able to work full-time on the game anymore. Bo
The crash when starting a campaign game should be fixed in the most recent version. The fix for this requires using the 64bit version of the game and as such the 32bit version is no longer supported. Also fixed in this patch is the Tutorial not progressing past the first stage.
This patch brings a few quality of life and UI improvements primarily for the Campaign mode as well as replacing the old Campaign "Shoot the Core" boss encounter with a new prototype Boss Fight. Due to changes in how Objective Data is stored your existing Campaign saves may not w
