Greetings, fellow spear-throwers! A new version of Lichtspeer has been summoned - the Double Speer Edition is now available on Steam! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=522LpnIMumk

What's new?

I bought the original Lichtspeer - will I get the Double Speer Edition for free?

What about the old version of Lichtspeer?

Hello friends! We're currently at PAX West showing off some sweet LICHTSPEER co-op action. If you're around, be sure to come and visit booth #6003 (6th floor) and experience the Wunderbar space dog action. Also to celebrate we're doing a 30% discount for the duration of PAX. Enjoy. Rafal and Bartek.

Gutentag people. We finally decided to post a little something about the creation of our very special, hand-made edition of LICHTSPEER. It consists of a cartridge a cassette (A REAL working CASSETTE) and a sweet VHS box to store it all in.

Dear Players! Some of your favourite enemies including Wurst Zombies and Hipster Giants decided to get changed for Halloween. You can download new version and check it out.

How about a review of Lichtspeer by the one and only Yahtzee Croshaw? HERE YOU GO.

"Achtung! Brad and Dan take up arms to keep the hipster ice giants from moving in and wrecking the retro future." Notable quote: "This fu^%ing FiSH!" CHECK IT OUT!

I liked Lichtspeer before I even started playing it. The menu screen, if you’ll believe it, is what sold me. Here’s what it looks like:
Where the exit button would normally be, Lichtspeer has a button that reads, “Go home and eat strudel.” And when you press it, a god-like voice triumphantly belts out, “STRUDEL.” READ MORE HERE

"Lichthund’s Lichtspeer is the game I didn’t know I needed. Oozing with 80’s flair, the game is one of the most simply constructed yet absolutely addictive titles I’ve played in recent memory. The high score-chasing action and retro style is exactly the palette cleanser for a season packed with AAA behemoths."

SCORE: 8.5/10

"Lichtspeer is the stupidest bloody game I’ve played in a long time, and I mean that as a compliment. It’s the classic tale of ancient Germanic future, where the gods get bored and give a random warrior a spear made out of Licht so that they can fight off hordes of hipster ice giants and penguins and zombies. You know, just like you learned in school in your ancient future class. It’s deceptively simple. Barring some special abilities, your entire job is to hold down the left mouse button to charge up a spear (er, Lichtspeer) throw, aim its trajectory with the mouse, and release to hurl. If an enemy reaches you, you’re dead. If you succeed in doing this through five separate screens on the level, you get to go to the next level. That’s… that’s basically the entire game."

SCORE: 8/10

"Lichtspeer is an "action arcade lightspear-throwing simulator." However, reducing the game to its rather simple mechanics doesn't quite do it justice. You are stationary while all kinds of enemies rush towards you. You aim your spear, throw, and hopefully catch them right in the face before they get to you. If they do, you have to try again from the beginning of the stage. The game tries to shake up the formula now and again - with enemies that shoot back, devastating attacks that have to be stopped before they can be executed, and the occasional boss fight - but at the end of the day it is a rather simplistic affair. However, this doesn't mean that it's boring - far from it, actually. For one thing, the difficulty feels just right. Yes, you will die repeatedly, and you'll probably hurl the occasional insult towards the screen, but that's what kept me highly motivated to play on. I can only imagine the amount of punishment that the other, unlockable difficulties dish out. Perish the thought!" READ MORE HERE

"At first Lichtspeer looks like a game that is too simple to keep players engaged for very long, but it is easy to pick up and play yet fiercely addictive. Just completing the regular difficulty is quite a feat and then there is still a New Game + mode as well as the appropriately titled “Rage Quit” mode. Don’t let the simple visuals and wacky story fool you, Lichtspeer is one of those games that will have you hooked after your first try and leave you hurling spears (and abuse) at foes long into the night."

SCORE: 8.7/10

"The simple control scheme and flashy look of Lichtspeer create an insane yet enjoyable combination. With such a basic approach to gameplay, the game pushes the challenge by adding in more difficult enemies and, of course, simply increasing their number. A thumping electronic soundtrack and pervasive humor keep things moving as you go, and there are plentiful levels to take on, including a good number of fights against huge, potent bosses."

SCORE: 3.5/5

Lichtspeer is here, on Steam. (also PS4 if you're into that) After 2.5 years of sweat and tears, we are proud to share with you the labour of our love. Play, die, enjoy and spread the word! Eternally yours Bartek and Rafal Lichthund
