Pre-Release Testing

I have started the pre-release testing for Hackshot, now that it is as polished as ever (barring few things here and there), you are invited to give it a shot.

With this new update, you can reach much deeper into the system than before. You can now unlock new abilities for all levels, and collect data you weren't able to reach before. This also opens up the game much more, doubling the content and tripling secrets you can find. We mainly use Discord to discuss feedback and game updates, but feel free to reach out to me however you wish:

Metroidvania Fusion Festival

That's right, Hackshot is taking part in the current running festival, Metroidvania Fusion https://store.steampowered.com/developer/ravenage/sale/metroidvaniafusion

But wait, is Hackshot a Metroidvania?

The short answer is no, however, the new update brings the Metroidvania-inspired aspects in the game to the forefront. They can be found within the first 20 mins now !!! No spoilers, just go explore like a real hacker, the demo is right there ... https://store.steampowered.com/app/1757450/Hackshot/

QUALITY NEW CONTENT

2 players have already finished the game, and reached the end screen, one of those legendary hackers also managed to even 100% the game. With the help of these players and dozens more along the years, the game has shaped up much better and more expansive than what I originally planned, and around 39% of the cool additions were found or suggested by the players.

Witnessing the game becoming like this... it is just magical Thank you all for your help and support
