Steam Next Fest, Demo Announcement, and Unwind Mode

Hello! Here's a bit of an update regarding the development of The Riflebird.

Demo Announcement + Steam Next Festival

The Riflebird will be participating in the Steam Next Festival with a demo available to play! You can learn more about the festival here. This demo will have a handful of levels and some of the game modes available to try out. The game is still heavily in development, so all feedback from trying the demo will be welcome! Please be on the look out for the demo, which will be available at some point before June 13th (the start of the festival).

Unwind Mode

This mode has been added recently. It allows the player to have a more relaxed experience. Instead of having the usual music for each world, it instead has a playlist of guitar tracks that are shuffled through. The music here is made by the talented YASUpochiGuitar! You can find his channel here! You may know him from the game Ib, as he composed various tracks such as Garry's theme, the intro music, and the credits theme. Music can also be changed to be the regular music which plays in Classic mode, the unique music that plays during modes other than Classic, or any specific guitar track to keep looping. ------------------------------------------------------ That is all for now. Take care, and stay tuned for more news next month with the official demo release!

Garenburg Penitence is an action-puzzle arcade game about matching sphere colors and exploring the collapsing psyche that destroyed the world.

With over 70 unique level maps, additional game modes, a level editor, and a tragic tale spanning across seven databases, learn the story of a fragile girl and her regretful actions.

If everything has a cost, then how much would it be to make the world a better place?

Fast, dynamic arcade gameplay. Fire spheres and match colors before they reach the end, and speed up or slow down to retain accuracy!
Story Mode: Clear a campaign of levels and unlock files to understand the truth of the world
Classic Mode: Fire spheres and match colors before they reach the end
No Mistakes Mode: Instead of worrying about spheres reaching the end, focus on matching the right colors
GREEN Mode: Significantly less colors, but harder to distinguish the differences between them
Wave Mode: Gain powerups to clear spheres more easily, but each wave increases the difficulty
Multiplayer Versus: Grab an enemy or friend and battle to see who can get the most score or survive the longest
Custom Level Editor: Full support for player-made levels with both Steam Workshop integration and local level loading
Six different worlds with unique themes and 12 unique level maps each for a total of 72 levels
Achievements: Complete and obtain numerous achievements within the game, testing your skill against difficult challenges
Four different difficulties, from a safe and relaxed time with Easy and Normal, to a challenge with Hard and a nightmare with Lunacy
File System: Spanning seven databases, take a look into the tragic story of a fragile girl. If her story is not your interest, it is not necessary to read to experience the gameplay
An original soundtrack with a multiple unique themes for each world and the music distorting as spheres get too close to the end
Numerous configurable settings to toggle effects and visuals in case distracting or for better performance

This game relies on color matching and has fast movement and imagery. While fast movement graphics can be toggled off if they are an issue, distinguishing colors apart from each other is a key component of gameplay. It is not recommended for those with color blindness.
