2025 is the year of Xion Leak!
What? 2025?!
Yes, you're not dreaming, it's December and Xion Leak hasn't yet been released as originally planned.
And still, the game is almost complete:
โจ 100% of levels are designed and 90% of them have been implemented
๐ All game modes have been developed (tuto, time-attack, Xion level, puzzle, world map, garage...)
๐ ๏ธ All features are ready, almost... ^^
๐ Even the online mode is functional
In short, we've never been so close!
But then why delay the release?
Xion Leak is our studio's first game, and we want it to be fun and original. That's why we're giving it our all, and we're not far from achieving that.
However, we also want it to be as stable as possible so as to offer you a pleasant and memorable gameplay experience, particularly as regards the online mode which is central to our co-op game.
It'll take a few more months of work, but Xion Leak will be out in early 2025. We're putting our heart and soul into it, and can't wait for you to discover it.
Until then, take care, happy new year, and see you soon, very soon... ๐ฅ

Xion Leak is taking part in Tiny Teams 2024!
We are very glad to annonce that Xion Leak has been selected to attend Tiny Teams 2024!
Tiny Teams is an event that puts the spotlight on independent games created by tiny teams! You guessed it?! Good.
Gentle Beasts Studio is made up of only two people: WinnymaruBaba and BabaDesBois (also known as the Baba brothers). And what better than two brothers to develop a co-op game where you play as two robots!?
But let's get back to the point, Tiny Teams is an event that you can find on two platforms:
On Steam via the event page, which features all the games in the selection, as well as the official stream that will be broadcasted throughout the week.
On Twitch, where you'll find the official event channel, as well as dozens of streamers who'll be playing the games on their respective channels.
It's the perfect opportunity to see Xion Leak in action, and, if you haven't already done so, to try out the free demo right now! And wishlist the game if you like it by the way, you rusty fool of a robot. ๐ค
Have fun, and we wish you lots of shiny trophies to unlock ๐

๐ Pimp My Bot + Diamond Trophy
Another update for the demo, and not the least! In fact, it's the biggest update since the demo's launch.
๐ ๏ธ The "Pimp My Bot" garage opens its doors!
Here you can spend your screws to buy splendid hats. It's designed as a level, so you can visit it as you like, and maybe even discover some secrets?
It's also an opportunity to learn more about the game, and get tips from the mechanic.
๐ New Diamond Trophy
If you like challenges, this is the trophy for you! But be warned, it's much harder to get than the gold trophy.
You don't need to unlock any of the diamond trophies to complete 100% of the game, and this trophy is only visible at the end of the level if you obtain it.
Will you be mad enough to reach 110%? ๐
๐ฅ Improved Dash
To improve the understanding of dash and what it entails in the game, we've made several important changes:
Added a dynamic hit counter when a character breaks blocks
Added a visual on the character and a sound effect when the combo fails (block destroyed too slowly)
There are now two different tutorial levels for learning dash. One for learning the basic principle, 3 blocks broken quickly gives a dash that lets you go fast. The second level teaches you how to use your dash to break blocks, even those not of your own type
New speed level added between these two tutorial levels, allowing you to practice your dash before learning the subtleties in the next level
Sound effects changed for combo hits
๐ Completion
From now on, when you return to the world map after completing a level, an animation is played to confirm the trophies you've just unlocked. In addition to this, the complete list of your trophies is displayed, making your progression through the levels clearer.
๐ Many thanks for your support, we hope you enjoy this update! ๐
