Devlog | New Update

Hey humans,

We’re excited to announce that a new update will be available from the 6th of December, and we wanted to give you a sneak peek at what awaits you!



Originally Madshot was supposed to take place exclusively within Cthulhu. There was no jumping or platforming, and you played as a naked prisoner… Luckily ideas evolve.

With patch 0.3 you get to experience the zone we initially envisioned, if you can make it past the Coven Mother. We added a few new tools to help you in this endeavor.



Fight your way through the putrid fleshy hellscape of Chthulus’ innards, culminating in an encounter with the Oculus. It's the first boss we designed, but remains arguably the most fun to play against.



It’s not only the new zone that’s worth paying attention to. There’s been a complete overhaul of the alterations. Numerous new ones, but we have also modified or rebalanced many of the old.

We focused heavily on deepening the synergies within the game. We also have more curated probabilities, to enable you to create more interesting builds.



We can’t wait to show you more and hear your feedback, this is just around the corner.

See you in the abyss!

Vote Madshot in the Steam Awards!

Hey humans,

Doing stunts in the abyss and keep on shooting it’s not easy and we understand it, after all your fingers are so tiny and thin… (wouldn't it be better to replace them with 8 useful tentacles??)

Well, now you can celebrate your weak limbs by voting for Madshot in the category “Best Game You Suck At”!

Cool, right? And if you vote enough, the boss might pick someone else for dinner tonight. But I shouldn't tell you that.

See you in the abyss!
