**IMPORTANT NOTE**


I have pushed through another version of the V3.1 Patch to anyone that is in the Beta. This should resolve the problem where the brake / boost isn't refreshing and working correctly. It also makes a change to the projectiles involving the new blackhole enemy. As well as fixes a couple small bugs found with the volume sliders. I have tried many many times to replicate the error where the walls close in for some players and have yet to figure out what causes it. Please let me know if you encounter this and if you know the actions you did to reproduce it.

--- Key things to note or look for ---


1) Does this happen ONLY when someone uses the Experimental custom controls? 2) Does this occur more than once if it happens? Or do the walls fix themselves after losing a round? Or after rebooting the game? 3) Are you using keyboard or gamepad? If gamepad, which gamepad? Thank you so much to those able to help, I would really like to find this bug before I push this out to the public channel as I don't want new players to encounter it. -Adam

  • 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 :)
