You've probably seen the announcement in-game but if not, Blastworld has shut down. Reason for this is that we ran out of money, including our own savings and had to get day jobs.
During the couple of months this game was online it saw around 27K players which is cool considering $0 was spent on marketing. We know there would be lot of potential in it and we might try again with something similar in 2021 when the Quest store opens up more for indie developers.
Maybe we somehow can figure out some kind of a marketing budget by then as well. Let us know if you know any wealthy people :)

Another improvement has been the weapons spawns, which are now more visible and randomized instead of static spawns.
The helicopter rescue at the end has been iterated further too, it will pick you up for 4 randomized locations! Better be quick!
