Operation Hardcore

Coming soon to Nintendo Switch!



We're pleased to announce that Operation Hardcore will be coming to Nintendo Switch, courtesy of our friends at Greenlight Games. Stay tuned for more information!

Presenting: Undermine

Hi everyone,

We're pleased to announce the upcoming release of our next game: Undermine!



Undermine offers a unique twist on the survival horror genre, featuring procedurally generated levels and roguelike elements.

As with Operation Hardcore, we'll be using Early Access to refine and evolve the experience; early adopters will be rewarded with the ability to help influence the direction. While we realize there's some stigma attached to Early Access, those who purchased Operation Hardcore during EA will understand our commitment to ensuring an engaging and stable experience right from the start, and to seeing our projects through to full release.

We hope to enter Early Access within the next few weeks, so keep an eye on the store page for more details.

Thanks for supporting the games we make, it's very much appreciated!

P.S. For those who haven't picked up a copy of Operation Hardcore yet, we'll be running a weeklong deal next week (starting September 11): 45% of the base game, and 50% off the deluxe edition.

Now available for macOS!



We’re excited to announce that we’ve added support for macOS! To celebrate, we’re offering a discount this weekend: 33% of the base game / 40% of the Deluxe Edition.

P.S. in order to use an Xbox 360 controller on Mac you will need to install this party driver: http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver

Build 1.11.3

Build 1.11.3 is now live and includes the following:

Bug Fixes



  • Alien Ship core: fix for boss losing camera focus if uncollected powerup falls past bottom of screen

Thank you!



Hey all,

I just wanted to take a moment thank you for your purchase. It means a lot to us, and we hope you're having fun with it!

Secondly, I wanted to let you know that I intend to keep investing in the game over time. It may not happen for a while, as I've since moved on to my next project (follow @snugsound on Twitter if you're curious), but at some point in the near future I plan on adding new challenge levels, weapons, upgrades, game modes, and perhaps even new episodic content. As with most games, we had to drop A LOT of ideas in order to release within a reasonable timeframe, but I really hope to have some of them eventually see the light of day!

In the meantime, anything you can do to help spread the word is greatly appreciated, as is a Like or follow on social media, or an honest review.

And as always, if you run into any bugs please post in the forums or reach out to me directly--supporting OH will always take priority over anything new I'm working on :)

Thanks again!
Adam / OH team
