- Changed how specific passives unlock
- - Heat vest
- - Bubble Goose
- - Gully boots
- - Hazmat
There used to be a crafting element to these passives, but it was never really clear how to do it, and this is more in line with how the game design works, now it's a mission each, for more info, look at Passive Unlocks at the TV after buying the upgrade from Farooq.

Please let your friends know, and see you next week!

Original postHey folks!
Shawn here, and I wanted to say, as always, a huge thank you to everyone playing our demo and giving feedback.
I wanted to announce that we’re officially moving the game to early 2026. That means between January and February. We wanted to get it out this year, but various things got in the way. One thing was we wanted to deliver a more complete experience, and we're excited to deliver it!
In October we dropped our most expansive trailer yet, showing 4 of the biomes including the animal filled Park and the toxic wasteland of Downtown.
We also showed new playable characters, like Pumpkin the cat, new enemies, like the roaming hordes of Special Forces in Downtown, and several bosses, including the massive Rat Mom alt boss for the subway.
Each level has multiple variants. These contain different win conditions, increased difficulty levels, and alt bosses. The levels themselves also change a bit - one example is, the subway lights go out, and the red, emergency lights kick on, giving a whole new vibe to the level.
We’re hard at work making this game the best it can be. It's primarily just 2 of us, I make the art, and Matt makes the code, so we appreciate the patience. We'll be back next with a release date! If you'll be at MAGFest (Jan 8-11), we'll be demoing there, and will most likely have a date by then.
Thanks for support! And please share our game with your friends so they can wishlist and play the the demo!
PEACE!

Developer postNew Fighter added to Beatdown City Survivors Demo Update #2!

We’ve been very happy with how the demos been going, we’re extending our demo for a few more weeks!
(For access to Playtests, consider joining our discord and signing up! https://discord.gg/BK57QbFgfG)
Our latest character, Julie Chu, can now be unlocked!
Julie is a judo master, with a 360 attack, doing damage to everyone around her!
She also has a unique roll that does melee damage to enemies.
Her skill increases the area of all of her attacks.
Her unlock requirements require you to play as Lisa, Brad and Bruce for at least 5 minutes each.
We just added counting time to the game, so even if you already played as Brad/Bruce/Lisa, you'll still have to do the 5 minutes each again.
Other Fixes
Character Unlocks
We made unlocking Heather and Abbey easier.
Missions
Destroying Vans counts over repeated playthroughs.
Now if you destroy 1 or more vans and die, it will count for your next run.
UI
You can now toggle off the Now Playing box if you want. It is also localized.
Added "Controls" to the menu.
We’re in the process of making controls rebindable.
We updated how outlines load so they update immediately when you change the options.
Updated status effect icons, added Julie's Area Up icon (for her skill)
MISC
Fixed an issue where pressing E to close pause menu would also immediately interact with what you were next to
Fixed bug where Farooq item/upgrade cards would be incorrectly left in selected state
Fixed a bug where if a shop had an upgrade for a weapon, then you crafted that weapon into something else, the upgrade in the shop would be broken
Fixed a bug where the Now Playing box would cause the game to hang if you were in a menu (Thanks IGN Live players!)
Increased performance.
And that's it for now! Please continue to give us feedback, either on the Steam forums, or our discord!

Hello fighters of Beatdown City!
Thank you to everyone who has been playing our demo! The feedback has been amazing. If you haven't, make sure to grab it today!
Yesterday we launched a new trailer showing off what's possible in the demo, including one of the midbosses and the stage boss.
Watch on YouTube Today we're releasing our first update for the Beatdown City Survivors demo that brings a lot of improvements, upgrades, and some bug fixes. We’re always down for recommendations (like auto attack auto-targeting), but please keep them respectful.
Also to note, because this is a demo, it doesn't appear that we can associate patch notes with it, so here they are!
Changes and Fixes
Missions
- Added a “Mission ticker” so it’s clearer in game what your first goals should be.
- Mission ticker counts up as you achieve your goal.
- Vans are now represented by a van icon at all times, making it clearer.
- Decreased amount of vans, to allow more survivor/cop spawns.
General Gameplay
- Auto attack now does auto-target as well.
- Sludge status effect (caused by soda) now nullifies shock.
- Added text to let players know how to unlock Heather and Abbey.
- Added an arrow to point players to the PC, where you can upgrade your stats once unlocked.
- Updated text when player unlocks ability to upgrade stats.
UI
Player Stats
- The “luck” stat has been implemented, so you can now upgrade luck.
- Luck impacts finding items/money, amount/quality of upgrades on level up, as well as CRIT and DODGE chances.
- Tiger’s Eye upgrade (luck) is available during gameplay.
- Every playable character has had a boost to default Re-roll amounts.
- 1st tier of Farooq’s cart re-roll can be unlocked.
- Added a “quit” function that saves the amount of money you have when you quit to the base.
Data
- Softlock when dying and leveling up simultaneously.
- Removed ability to buy upgrades when player has max amount.
- Sometimes abilities would be purchasable at a cart (during a run) but would not add to your weapon's overall level.
Bug fixes
That's it for today! We will have another update next week, featuring a new playable character, the Judo Fighter, Julie Chu!
Thanks for the feedback.
