Bit Blaster XL V1.02 is now live
-> Bit Blaster V7 Achievement should now correctly activate. (including retroactively to anyone that had already earned it. -> The skybox and other various details should now appropriately scale to the outrageously sized 21:9 monitors :) -> Dead zone on gamepad issues should now be resolved. (dpad is not in use currently due to my own programming limitations, will hopefully be back in the future) -> The Orange "H" powerup will now correctly find targets, if the target is destroyed, it will find a new target, if no targets available it will disappear. Should also no longer get jammed and need a game restart to work again. -> I have discovered how to manage the questionable leaderboard scores and will do my best to remove all the ones that are completely outrageous. -> I added a slight acceleration to keyboard left and right controls allowing the player a little tighter control. -> When dying while boosting, the booster would auto be on next life, this has now been fixed. -> I have correctly added both the Windows 32 bit builds and Linux 32 bit builds so that people having trouble booting the game should now be able to play. -> Please make sure to check the discussions board for a stickied post where I will do my best to track all issues. Thank you everyone for the feedback; this has been a wonderful experience and a super intense 36 hours to start the launch. I will do my best to fix any issues you encounter and post in the discussion thread or email me info(at)nickervision.com. I want to thank everyone for the AWESOME reviews you've been leaving. As well as all you that are sharing the game with friends and family. You're all very kind and it makes me feel absolutely amazing that you are enjoying a goofy little game I made. :) -Adam Nickerson

Bit Blaster XL Soundtrack
A throwback to the classic quarter eating arcade games of the 80's. Bit Blaster XL is a retro styled, addictive, and fast paced arcade shoot 'em up! (shmup).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
● Easy to learn, simple arcade style Controls to turn your ship and boost (can also use a gamepad) (not a twin stick shooter)
● A variety of wicked Power ups like Split Shot, Heat seekers, Lasers, and Blast Shot to assist your survival.
● Several unlockable ships to pilot with unique attributes to give you an edge in the Leaderboards
● Endless survival (infinite) score chasing game play with a classic arcade style
● Steam achievements, leaderboards & Trading cards! (with emoticons & profile wallpapers)
● Cool retro pixel Graphics.
● Gameplay inspired by Luftrausers, Asteroids, Space Invaders and Geometry Wars (some of my favorites)
● Unique chiptune songs for each ship.
● Manual Fire mode for those that want a different experience.
Description of Gameplay:
Your ship can not stop moving; so turn it left and right and use your boost to keep from running into an ever increasing amount of enemies.
Your ship is always shooting, so make sure to pick up more ammo and the variety of awesome power ups to help you survive longer.
Get the highest score you can while collecting coins to buy more ships that are faster, shoot faster, or have more shields.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do not hesitate to contact me if there are any problems with the game.
Bit Blaster is also available free & ad supported on iOS and Android.
Thanks for playing, I hope you have some fun with it :)
