New Demo Released!! Indie Live Expo 2023!!
This version adds:
- New BOSS! Marva, the angry grandma Karen, is here to ruin your fun! Take her out, but watch out for her rotating orbs and reflective shield!
- New Level! You can now play the suburbs level, complete with flying house debris and a deadly Karen tank!
- New weapon upgrade, the rocket launcher! Press the right trigger button to launch a massive explosive at your enemies! Find ammo by killing enemies on screen!
I've also made some balances to boss health and various other improvements.
I've done the best I can to test for any issues, but if there are any bugs you notice please let me know and I'll hotfix them as soon as I can!
IN OTHER NEWS we're also LIVE with Indie Live Expo 2023! Come join the fest and see all the great titles being displayed!
Happy Karen Crushing!

New Demo Release This Weekend!
This weekend I'll be updating the demo to include an additional boss and level! This will allow players to see the mechanic of randomized levels and bosses in the game. Also, you can spend 25 modules in the upgrade menu to give yourself a ROCKET LAUNCHER! This thing is way powerful and will obliterate enemies!
The demo will still only be a single level and boss encounter long, and will now limit the amount of upgrades you can purchase so you aren't incredibly OP by just collecting tons of modules. The idea is to give people a taste of the game without ruining it.
I hope you'll try it out and give me feedback, thanks!

Dev Notes #2
I've been hard at work at adding more content to the game, and I wanted to share it with all of you! I'm pushing a new build to the discord for testing, and as soon as my testers give me the green light I'm going to publish a BRAND NEW demo to steam! This is a great opportunity for you to try the game in a fresh light and see new content and what will be close to the final direction of the game.
It's so exciting to be fleshing out the game with more and more content, it's feeling more and more like a completed project every day.
A few new things I've been working on this last while:
- New Tutorial level! You can play this level after starting a new game, and it will teach you the basic mechanics of combat, resources, and leveling up!
- The Farms level is ALMOST done! You'll fly in the rural area of the city and fight crazy farmer Karens with pitchforks, and flame thrower enemies (the flame throwers are tough..).
- Balance and bug fixes
That's it for now! Hope you're having a great new year.

Dev Notes #1
I've made a new year's goal to start doing more regular game updates. I really haven't posted anything since the demo was released last Oct, but I have been working solidly on the game! Here's what's been going on behind the scenes:
- New level is done! In the Suburbs, you'll fight rotating turrets, dual-cannon Karen ships, and even a giant Karen Tank! The Karens are destroying the Suburbs, so watch out for flying house debris!
- Jordan is waiting to take you down! Face off against the spoiled influencer of influencers, and see if you're a match for her follower army and giant cell-phone!
- Pausing the game will now bring up an in-game menu where you can highlight different in-game upgrades, and read what each one does. Also, some upgrades can only be earned in sequence, and this screen will tell you which! The screen also highlights which you've earned and leaves as an outline only the ones you haven't.
- New music is done for the suburbs level!
- The game now randomizes your level order between the two available levels and bosses! Combining this with the already randomly generated enemy sequences and levels, this should make for new and challenging experiences each run.
More to come! Stay tuned for an updated demo soon!
