Hey everyone, just here to tell you that we've dropped Version 2.2.2! This should hopefully fix some issues with achievements not being registered (you should retroactively earn any when you start the game), and keybindings not being saved. Hopefully. Plus, a few other minor fixe

Update
Version 2.2 is on it's way! I'd like to apologize for the bugs and problems introduced in the last update... it can be tough to catch everything as a small developer. The new version should fix issues with crazy tile tearing whenever the camera scrolls, and the animation bug. If

UPDATE! Minor Changes + New Unlockable Playable Character!

Axol Studio is pleased to announce that the update to Blasting Agent: Ultimate Edition is finally here!
New Features
Boss Rush Challenge!
Finish the game on Hard Difficulty to unlock this mode which pits you against each boss in the game back-to-back! You earn upgrades during the run when you defeat a boss, and dying respawns you on the same boss. You can choose to play Boss Rush on either Normal or Hard mode. How quickly can you defeat them all?
New Playable Character: Sting!
Beat the game on Normal mode, and you will unlock Special Tactical Agent Codename: Sting! Sting is a martial arts expert: faster, more agile, and can jump higher than the Blasting Agent. She uses powerful attacks up-close and personal to her foes, including punches, kicks, dive kicks, and mid-air spin kicks. Note that Sting plays a LOT differently from the Blasting Agent character. Although she is much more maneuverable, she has no ranged attacks, and some of the bosses are VERY challenging to defeat as Sting. She also cannot collect or use any upgrades (she can still earn them by collecting gold and defeating enemies, but only the Blasting Agent can use them). However, she can be useful in locating hidden upgrades to come back with the Blasting Agent to collect later on. There are no extra rewards for beating the game as Sting - she's just a fun, and challenging character to play as.
Bug Fixes

Fixed problem with keybindings
Fixed issues with enemy AI logic
Changes to special effects logic to enhance performance
Minor tweaks to some rooms and levels to fix issues.
If you already own the game on Steam, you should be seeing the update already! If you got the game from somewhere else, check to see if you can download it yet.
The update is planned to release on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS soon.

Hey everyone, I'm just letting you know that an update is in the works!
I've been working on the game pretty much since launch day, trying to find ways to improve and add to the experience.
So far, some of the changes that are coming include:

Tweaks and Improvements to some of the special effects graphics that should help with performance.
Tweaks to enemy AI - some of the enemies weren't acting properly, and some were acting a little too well...
Minor Tweaks to problematic rooms and doors not connecting properly
Bug fixes, including the problem with keybindings
An all new (unlockable) game mode: Boss Rush! Beat the game once to be able to take on each boss back-to-back and compete for the best time!
...and one more surprise, that I'll be talking about a little later! ;)
This update has a little more work left to go until it's ready, and then it needs to pass some QA testing. The plan is to release it on Steam and on all the other platforms at the same time.
I'll be back later on with more details about that secret item, and maybe some more news besides that...
Thanks!

Release Day!

Hello, Everyone!
I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who picked up the game so far.
Releasing this game as a solo developer was a much larger, and more emotional journey than I expected.
So far, although sales are a little low - which is not unexpected, since this is the first game from an 'unknown' indie developer - the feedback has been positive! So it looks like people who give the game a chance actually seem to enjoy it! That means a lot! Thanks!!
Tips
Here's some quick information for people playing the game that might help:
Take a look at the Manual! When we made this game, we tried to stay true to the early days of video games - keeping in-game story/explanations/tutorials to a minimum. There's lots of information in the manual that is interesting - plus, I put a lot of time into making it ;)
One, important detail that's mentioned in the manual, but is kind of vague in the game: Killing Enemies + Collecting Gold unlocks permenant upgrades when you beat the level. On Easy mode, you just have to get 90% of both kills and gold in a level to get that level's upgrade. These are very useful!!! A complete list of the upgrades are in the manual.
One thing not mentioned in the manual: you should be able to always go backwards through a level! So if you're stuck on a boss, try backtracking to see if you missed an upgrade somewhere in the level.
Use doors to your advantage! Since every door is a check-point, if you find yourself having trouble clearing a room, try taking out a couple of enemies, then running back to the last door to 'save' - so if you die, the enemies you had cleared are still gone!
I sincerely hope you enjoy this game. I've tried to make it fun, interesting, and unique. Sure, it's not 100% perfect, but if you can enjoy it for a couple of hours or so, then I think we both come out as winners.
If you like this game, please do me a favor and leave a review! They help a lot!
Want to do a 'Let's Play' or stream the game? Go for it! Tweet at me or Email me and I'll share it!
If you have problems with the game, questions, or want to contact me for any reason, axolstudio.com has my contact info.
Thanks again for playing and supporting my game! I've got a new project in the works ;)
