Shotgun King now on mobile (+ new beta for PC, coming soon)

Royals, today is a special day.

For years, you've asked us if the game would ever be on mobile. Some even justified their query, saying that they would simply really love to play the game while on the throne. And one had to admit, there's a beauty in that.

But honesty cuts both ways, and to be honest, we weren't too interested in porting the game onto mobile. We made Shotgun King with a custom engine that was built with PC in mind. Our friends at Headbang Club worked miracles and ported the game (and the engine) to consoles, but surely mobile was a whole other can of worms, right?

Well, yes, it was. But nevertheless, after the console port was done, Headbang Club asked us whether they should do a mobile port as well, and we were like... "You can do that??"

Dear reader, they could. They did!

It took about a year to get it all done, but here it is at last! Shotgun King is finally available on mobile, from Google Play for Android, and from the App Store for iOS. So that now, when you feel powerless to take a sh*t because you didn't eat enough fiber, you can blast some pixelated chess pieces with your royal shotgun and feel strong and victorious instead. But maybe try eating some more fibers too.

To celebrate, we also teamed up with our friend Farhanaz Elahee(aka Joy) for an animated trailer! Check it out:

But that's not all! We also have some news for the PC version!

Benjamin has been working on some fresh new content for Shotgun King v1.6. Such delicacies as a new game mode, a new shotgun, and quite a few new cards are on the menu! These are coming soon to the beta branch, which you can opt into from the game's properties!

Please make sure to also join our Discord to give us feedback on some of the... choices... that were made.

Here's a little teaser as a parting gift:

That's it for now! Love you all! See you soon for more news about that update!

Long live the Shotgun King!

Game update4 Aug 2026Quickpatch v1.623bHi royals! This is another quickpatch because I wanted to use the newest version of our engine which should be more stable on finicky systems. But I also took the opportunity to fix two leftover bugs in the codex and make it possible for modders to use the "vision" cheat functionality. That's litterally the entire changelog, look for yourself: · \ Fixed a bug in the codex where card panels woul…Game update15 Jul 2026Patch Notes for v1.623: Another round of bugfixesHi Royals! Well, I was self-indulgent and hid a funny interaction in the last patch, and now I reap the consequences. There were a few new bugs, and it also made some pre-existing bugs more noticeable. So here's a new patch that fixes all that! We also found out that there was an issue with our engine, where one of the libraries it uses would fail to do its job properly on computers with an ARM…Game update26 Jun 2026Quickpatch v1.622bHi Royals! I hope you're having a nice Summer Sale. All our games are 40% off , just so you know. Anyway, that's not why I'm here. We just updated the game with another quickpatch. We're trying to get the game as stable as possible for the console port. I think we're getting there. If you find anymore bugs, please let us know on our Discord!
