I'm excited to announce that Boons & Burdens, my spiritual successor to Gunlocked, will be entering Early Access on February 26!

For those of you keeping track, this is a small delay from the original release date. For several weeks I've been dealing with a brutal respiratory illness, but It's finally mostly behind me. I'm not completely recovered yet, but development is back on track and going smoothly! Check out some new screenshots below (and note the new auto-aim feature).

Boons & Burdens is a single player action-roguelike set in the depths of a hellish dimension. Battle hordes of demons through 9 levels, collect gems to purchase powerful boons, and choose from deadly burdens and sacrifices that alter the game's difficulty. Will you be the paragon of power or the architect of your own defeat?

The game will be launching with over 130 upgrades (boons), and dozens of challenges (Burdens). Play as the Cryomancer or Pyromancer, and take on hordes of demons as truly unique character classes, brimming with power.

Here's some new screenshots from the current build:

I was waiting to hear back from some interested publishers on a much larger project, so I thought I'd take some prototypes I'd worked on and smash them together into something new. The result, after just 6 weeks, was the first Early Access build of Gunlocked. Now, many years later, that quick little game's big brother…Esports2 Nov 2025New Game: Super Shootin Star4 years ago I released a little mobile game that combined Doodle Jump with rocket jumping. People called it "Reverse Downwell", Apple called it a "New Game We Love." But alas, I don't have enough hours in the day to maintain mobile and PC games. So with my modern focus on PC first, I decided to resurrect an old favorite, remaster the art, rebalance the gameplay, rebuild the controls, and finall…
