B.i.t.Lock will unlock soon! Meaning: It will be FREE TO PLAY

The whole game for free?

Yes. On every platform. This includes Steam, itch, Gamejolt Android, iOS and all future platforms. It will be available on Dec 29th 2020.

But why?

Simple. To get more people to play the game. As the next update will include a Level Editor, it would make me much happier to see people play, build and share levels instead of me getting some extra cash. I kind of regret not making it free from the very beginning.

What's the new update all about?

Basically a full Level Editor with Steam Workshop integration, many new Sounds and Music, a Performance Boost and some Bugfixes. All the details about the update will be in a separate announcement next week.

What if I bought the game already?

I still have to come up with something to compensate for your initial pay. For now, maybe it makes you feel better to know that you got to play the game before everyone else and supported a random developer. At this point I would like to thank all the people who bought the game, gave reviews or met me at conventions to try out the game! Seeing others having a good time with the game fills my heart with joy :)

What about you?

I'll live. Nothing to worry about.

Anything else?

Yes, actually. I never announced this on Steam (oopsy), but I've been doing free weekly challenges for a few months now. If you want to test your B.i.t.Lock skills, you can play them at peyda.itch.io/bitlock in your browser. I upload a new challenge every Saturday! You can also follow me on Twitter (@PeydaPete) to get notified about them.
