Over 100,000 units sold and V3.0 Coming December 5thI just wanted to provide a quick announcement to let all you Bit Blasters know that thanks to your support, reviews, and sharing the game with your friends, Bit Blaster XL has sold over 100,000 units on Steam. I am absolutely blown away by the love and support it's received. With it's overwhelmingly positive reviews and its incredibly helpful player community, it continues to reach more players every day. Thanks to all of your feedback and suggestions I have added, changed, fixed and polished Bit Blaster XL into an even better game over the last ten months with the many successful patches and content releases.
I have a new patch coming December 5th. I have tagged it as V3.0. It Includes a variety of fixes and changes that hopefully everyone will be pleased with. Some of those changes includes; a new secondary bomb power up that can do some good old fashioned screen clearing explosions, some re-balanced endgame and point values to give a better median experience to all players and allowing experts to climb even higher, and a totally redesigned menu system that hopefully improves upon the currently terrible menus that feel like they were designed by some amateur in his garage studio *cough*. I should have a version in the BETA branch in the coming days so people can take a look and give me some feedback. (oh also, the soundtrack will be released as FREE DLC)
I really appreciate all the support and positivity. This experience with Bit Blaster XL on Steam has afforded me all sorts of amazing opportunities like attending E3 2016, Steam DevDays 2016, a visit to the Microsoft campus and much more.
I can't thank you all enough for this experience and hope that I can share more great experiences with you into the future.

[ 2016-11-23 07:09:07 CET ] [ Original post ] 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 :)
