Schwarzerblitz
New Stage in the beta branch: Kingsland Graveyard
The stage's song, "Ribcage Match", was composed by Jack7 for Duel of Fortune and repurposed for Schwarzerblitz. Here's a sneak peak at the stage itself!
The stage, Rattlebone and Leo will be available for free in the normal branch of the game in late October, since they all miss some finishing touches!

SCHWB Beta Branch Bug Fix - Patch 1.2.4
(This bug fix is only relevant to the endless-beta branch of the game)
Schwarzerblitz v1.2.3 - Beta branch balance patch
v 1.2.3 (13.09.2020, beta branch)
Bug fixes
- fixed a bug which caused the match to end improperly in story mode if a character was KOed by damage over time
System changes
- Projectiles can now have accelerations and arced trajectories
New content
Stages
- added the first version of "Parsec Arena" (music still to be replaced with the final version)
- added the first version of "After Hours" (music might be temporary)
- uploaded the improved version of Le Coq Heureux
Characters
- new costume: "Quarantine Rapport 2" Johnson
- new costume: "Unpaid Bills" Shaz (needs to be unlocked by completing arcade with him twice and clearing his trial)
Character changes
Amy
- r.P: reduced active frames by 3 (the active time was not conform with the visual appearance of the move)
Elena
- c.3P: changed recovery stance after move to remove an unwanted animation jitter
Johnson
- Top Hat Doomsday (623 P) has been split into two different moves:
- 623 P (Top Hat Reprise) doesn't require Bullet Counters but does not launch. It can still be used as a juggling tool like the old Top Hat Doomsday, though. It's +12 on hit and deals 18 damage.
- 623 P+K (Top Hat Doomsday) now costs one Bullet and it is equivalent to the previous iteration of Top Hat Doomsday. It deals 22 unscaled damage.
- 623 P (Top Hat Reprise) doesn't require Bullet Counters but does not launch. It can still be used as a juggling tool like the old Top Hat Doomsday, though. It's +12 on hit and deals 18 damage.
Wally (changes to Wally are still experimental and I'm using the beta to collect feedback)
- Added 5 frames of recovery to his Brisbane Roundabout sidesteps
- Brisbane 2T: doesn't launch anymore, but causes pushback
- r.K: added Standing Launch properties
- Brisbane PP (Heavy Metal): changed into natural combo
Lazor
- Ultimate Diamond Crusher won't hit juggled or airborne opponents at full force. This prevents the One-Hit-KO variant of the move from being used during a juggle combo
Rattlebone
- changed move names to reflect the DoF naming convention
- updated intro and win quotes
- his axe moves have now proper acceleration and arcs
- his skull moves have been changed to make use of the acceleration
Sir Rattlebone and Leo Fizeau will soon join the fight!
Sir Rattlebone is one of the main characters of Duels of Fortune, an upcoming cartoon-y 2.5D fighter by Cosmic Hat Games. In SCHWB, he keeps all his special moves, included the skull toss, the axe toss, his shield bash and his Skeletal Spinner super, at the cost of 2 bullets.
Leo Fizeau is instead an original character created by Berks, the winner of the first Indievo tournament. his gameplay centers around teleport cancels, thus chaining an immense number of moves in one, single damaging string!
All characters will be released around September in the main branch, for free. Those curious can try them out in the beta branch (password: mysteryjohnson)!
Have fun, break them and RIDE THE LIGHTNING!

Schwarzerblitz - Quarantined Rapport 2 Tournament
On the 13th June, Schwarzerblitz will be part of the charity event Quarantined Rapport 2, with an online tourney! Since the game has no native online infrastructure, it is required to either use Parsec or Steam Remote Play to take part (EU/NA/SA only for this time).
There is a 100$ prize pot, with prizes up to the 3rd place!
