The Super Mega Space Blaster Special beta was a massive success the game has been broken down and built back stronger. From myself and Bare Knuckle Development a massive thank you to all the testers who took part from our mailing list and in our Discord. The game is so much better because of you. We want to support the game into the future releasing more content as either free updates or free DLC. We also have plans to support more platforms but all of this depends on the popularity of the game on Steam. Ideas for future updates based on the beta include:

  • A custom ship builder, or some form of space blaster customisation.
  • Upgrades for space blasters and power-up that cost in-game coins.
  • Some form of online multiplayer.
  • More ships, more power-ups and weapons, more game modes.
  • Ship stats streamlined to improve gameplay.

If you have any ideas that you’d like to see in the game why not join our Discord and let us know.

A massive thanks to all the beta testers, the game is loads better because of you. ːsteamhappyː
