The Bug Butcher

Thanks to all EA Testers




During Early Access we achieved 11K downloads and you guys helped us a lot improving our game. Looking forward for the release on Tuesday. YAYYY.

Release date



Super excited to get you a full release on 19th January 2016. The last update will bring you final polishing bug fixes, more achievements, more languages and something nasty but cute. ;)

Update 3.1 - bug fixes


Bugs just never behave like they should so this update gives you more bugfixes including:
- Healthanks show correctly now in hardcore mode
- Leaderboards are now displaying correctly in panic mode
- couple of controller inputs fixed

Update 3.0



We are super excited to FINALLY release the panic mode to the public. Alongside many bugfixes here are the main features that got added:
- local coop Panic Mode
- Single Panic Mode
- Dash button can be held down now for skating around
- New Protective Bubble powerup in Panic mode
- separate leaderboards for single and multiplayer

This is quite a big update for us. We hope we smoothed out most of the bugs. If you find something please hit us up. ENJOY! ;)

Sorry for the delay



We know that everyone has been waiting for a new update. The local coop mode took us way longer then expected and we didn't want to release something that we are not happy about. It is currently in internal testing/debugging mode and lot's of polishing. If you would like to be part of the testing drop us a email at info@awfullynicestudios.com.
Thanks everyone for your patience.

Local Multiplayer coop Announcement


A lot of our fans asked for it. We are currently working hard on getting it done asap. We are sorry that we haven't updated the game for a couple of weeks, but now you know what kept us busy the whole time. We can't wait for our EA users to get their hands on soon.
