Hey everyone! Thanks to all whove played and had fun with Arrow Survival: 15 Seconds. Were still reading your feedback and watching gameplay videos on YouTube.

Below are some ideas we have for the games future, either as a major update or, if the scope grows too large, as a full sequel.

New Mode: Perk Survival

Objective

Survive as many waves of enemies and obstacles as possible, with each wave lasting 15 seconds.

Progression

After every wave, choose 1 of 3 perks that permanently alter gameplay with buffs, nerfs, or chaotic effects.

Philosophy

Strategic balance between power and risk. Stronger perks come with major drawbacks; smaller ones ramp up enemy difficulty.

Mode Structure

Waves

• Duration: 15 seconds.

  [/*]

• Enemies and obstacles generated procedurally or based on existing levels.

  [/*]

• Every 35 waves, a boss appears (e.g., giant bee or mutant mushroom).

  [/*]

Perk System

After each wave, pick 1 of 3 cards. Categories:

• Player Buff (e.g., +1 arrow per reload).

  [/*]

• Player Nerf (e.g., reduced speed).

  [/*]

• Enemy Change (e.g., faster enemies).

  [/*]

• Chaotic Effects (e.g., altered gravity).

  [/*]

Next Steps

These are just a few of the ideas in the works. Well keep you posted in future news.

In the meantime, were also working on other projects. Thanks for your attention, keep having fun and sending feedback!

We want to thank everyone who has enjoyed Arrow Survival: 15 Seconds, a game designed for fans of the arcade genre. Weve received a lot of feedback and have read all the reviews so far, in addition to identifying some bugs. With that in mind, were excited to share the first update for the game.

Bug Fixes

Interface (UI)

• Fixed an issue where the music and sound effects volume settings were displayed in English, even when another language was selected.

  [/*]

Gameplay

• Fixed a bug that caused arrows to pass through the ground.

  [/*]

Performance

• Optimized the games code, resulting in overall performance improvements.

Level Balancing

We received numerous comments about the difficulty of level 18, which, in some cases, hindered player progression. However, while some players pointed out the high difficulty, others enjoyed the challenge and managed to complete it in just a few attempts or within a few minutes.

To strike a balance that maintains the challenge without making it overly difficult, we decided to remove one of the two bees present in level 18. Now, the level will feature only one bee. In testing, we found that having two bees could trap players in a way that felt disproportionate. This change creates a more balanced experience.

This is a small update, and were committed to continuing to refine the game to ensure fun and balanced gameplay for everyone!

It\'s official! Arrow Survival: 15 Seconds is now released!

We have several ideas for updates and new games similar to Arrow Survival, such as implementing co-op gameplay, a survival mode, and more.

We\'ll update as needed and are already working on new projects!

Thank you, and may everyone who enjoys the arcade genre have fun!

Were excited to share that Arrow Survival: 15 Seconds is fully playable on Steam Deck! The game has been tested using Proton 9 and Proton-GE, and it runs smoothly on Valves handheld perfect for quick bursts of survival action wherever you are.

If you\'re using other Steam-compatible handhelds like the ASUS ROG Ally or Lenovo Legion Go, youre good to go there too.

Preparing the game to run natively on Linux is a bit tricky due to the nature of the Linux ecosystem. However, Proton makes everything work seamlessly.

In our tests, we got Arrow Survival: 15 Seconds running with excellent performance and stability starting from Proton 9, including Proton-GE Latest. Other versions of Proton may show issues like incorrect control prompts or graphical glitches.

So, for the best experience, we highly recommend using Proton-GE Latest or Proton 9+ when playing on Steam Deck or Linux in general.
