Since today, a new game mode titled "Extra Missions" has been added to the game. This new mode is accessible from the title main menu, but only after you beat the game in story mode (i.e, you have unlocked the "Revenger" achievement).
This mode adds another 25 stages, maybe harder than the normal ones due to more crowded waves of bots and enemy vehicles. Also, the last stage of the Extra Missions mode is a Boss Rush, that we think you'll enjoy.
So, that's it! A reward for those who love the game and want to prove their skills even further.
Enjoy!

Bot Vice sale and current state!
Hello!
As you can see, Bot Vice is 15% OFF right now, a fantastic deal for those that missed the release sale. It will be on sale until September 26th. It's a great opportunity to pick this action packed game and enjoy this new take on classic gallery shooting gameplay, the hardcore way, hehe! Also, your support will help us finish our next project with even higher quality, if anything!
The current game build (v1.1.5) is stable (well, the game is stable since v1.1). In fact, the game was released almost bug free, and that's amazing for a small two people real indie team like we are. The only important missing features were the "Easy" difficulty mode and the keyboard/gamepad rebinding, which were available since v1.1 (4 days after official launch, ultra fast!). You can see the full changelog here: Bot Vice Changelog.
Although we're working on our next title fulltime and it has the highest priority now, we're still working on Bot Vice and supporting our players. So, if you find any critical bug, please, let us know in the support forums: Bot Vice Support Forums.
Ah, more things! For those who are interested in how we make our high quality pixel art graphics, we recommend you to check our COOL PIXEL ART! video series on our YouTube channel, or simply follow us on Twitter.
And that's all! Thanks a lot for your support, for your time and for playing!

Bot Vice v1.1 is out now!
Hello!
After listening to players' issues and suggestions, Bot Vice has been updated to v1.1, featuring the following changes:
New "Easy" difficulty mode. In this new level of difficulty, some yellow bots will drop Heart items for recovering one life point. It's a drastic change in this game philosophy that hopefully will help some players. The game will never be easier than that, because we don't want to distort our initial vision for this experience.
Customizable keyboard and gamepad controls. Now you can customize keyboard and gamepad controls to your liking in order to feel comfortable enough to beat this challenge.
New versatile "Window Size" option. "Fit screen" option was replaced by "Window size". Now you can set the game screen size to 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or Full size (fitting your full display size).
City map cursor cycle. In the City Map, press left while the cursor is on Stage 1 to go back to the latest unlocked stage.
Attack with Saber while shooting. Very useful when playing with keyboard, now the Saber has priority over Shooting, so you can use the Saber key even if you're already holding down the Shooting key. Remember that the saber can destroy any type of projectile, bombs included!
Faster automatic shooting with the Handgun. We have increased the Handgun automatic shooting cadence. Now it shoots faster while holding down the shooting key or button.
Quick stage restart by pressing "0" on the keyboard. You can restart any stage immediately pressing "0" key on your keyboard.
New name for the flying red guy: "Cheesy" James. Inside joke.
Several minor fixes and adjustments. It's just that.
