Counterpact (tuxdb.com)

After a year and a half of hard work, Counterpact has finally left its alpha phase! The core features of the game have been implemented, so the next couple of months will focus on adding enough content for launch. But don't worry, the game will continue to receive content updates after launch! What elsedoes this mean? Unfortunately, it means those neat little Alpha Charm mementos and Alpha emotes are no longer being given out. It also means our beloved Alpha Egg pet has left the Development Gashapon. But now... now the Beta Charm memento and Beta emote are being given out in its place! And the Beta Egg pet has joined the Development Gashapon! Get it while you can, because this announcement alsobrings a more concrete launch date set in July! When exactly in July? Not sure yet. Just wait. All that aside, there are some other far less important things in this update. You can read those changes below. Bug Fixes:

Fixed slot and character filters applying in item confirmation popups.

This issue would typically cause these confirmations to fail, as they depend on the items being shown.

Intermediary players no longer appear in the ignore list.
Disconnection messages no longer appear for intermediary players.

Miscellaneous:

Antiqueness can now be removed from items.

When selecting the option, the "Yes" button will be locked for 3 seconds to avoid accidental removals.
This cannot be undone.

Items can now be deleted.

When selecting the option, the "Yes" button will be locked for 5 seconds to avoid accidental deletions.
This cannot be undone, and refunds will not be issued regardless of what items are deleted.

All existing instances of Fresh Overwear (2023) and the 2023 emote have been made Antique, and the items' descriptions no longer state that they are exclusive to the Festive Season 2022 event.
A damage-per-second and healing-per-second display has been added to the Experimentation Room.
Settings to toggle heal fatigue and allow Puppets to regenerate health have been added to the Experimentation Room.
An option to have the Puppets automatically regenerate health has been added to the Experimentation Room.
The Flag Barrier entity has been added to the Map Editor. This entity acts as a solid wall to any player currently holding the flag, but is intangible otherwise.
Longer item description lines will now have their width automatically reduced.

This may impact readability, so less verbose item description lines are still recommended.

An experimental, automatically generated Spanish translation has been added.

This may be replaced by more refined community-made translations in the future.

Players now have significantly reduced friction while using the Ice Cube chair.

* Note this game is currently in alpha. Store page assets are subject to change, and the current build is not completely representative of how the game will be at the time of launch.

Counterpact is a 2D platform-shooter that pits two teams against each other, or a solo player against the tough (yet polished) forces the Gilded Spire has to offer.

7 Unique Characters
Each playable character comes with their own set of mechanics. If you enjoy glass cannon gameplay, try Shiniko the Reaper, who can output some serious damage despite her low health and close-ranged attacks; use her Dash to maneuver around (or through) enemies. Prefer to take a tankier approach? Try SYS.TR the Bulwark, who can use channel the damage she receives into powerful auras using her Rerouted Power.

Different Weapons to Try
Don't like how a character plays by default? Maybe you do like them, but the current situation calls for something different? Perhaps you just want a new twist on their mechanics? Each character has a variety of alternate weapons to choose from, some of which heavily change their gameplay style to the point of putting those characters into different roles, all while keeping their core mechanics intact. New weapons get added over time as well, so you'll have something new to try.

Over 100 Cosmetics to Collect
By simply playing the game (no microtransactions are involved), you can earn Eclipsium. Eclipsium can be spent on the available Gashapon Machines, which will reward you with a random cosmetic from their stock. Cosmetic items include different outfits for characters, little pets that follow you, chairs you can sit on, emotes to communicate or taunt with, and more.

Enter the Gilded Spire
If you want (or need) a solo experience, the Gilded Spire awaits you. Fight through four floors of bulky enemies and traps for a chance to earn riches. If you really want to challenge yourself, try conquering the Gilded Spire on the Blinding difficulty, and be greatly rewarded for your success.
