REVO (tuxdb.com)

You’ve drifted into a sinister space storm far from civilization. Dark ships quickly close in on you. Rescued by a mysterious symbiotic vessel, your only hope of escape is to equip for combat and fight for your life.
REVO is a neon styled and classically inspired space shoot ‘em up with an original, retro fueled synthwave soundtrack. Inspirations include Galaga, TRON, and The Last Starfighter. If you’re a fan of the video arcades and science fiction movies of the early 1980’s, you’ll love this game and find it both familiar and fresh.

Something Went Bump

While testing the Halloween event, something went terribly wrong: for some strange reason, the game would hang on the Loading screen. Fortunately, it was an easy fix and there is even now a feature that will prevent the infinite loading process in favor of just closing the game application to desktop.

In the future, it would be nice to display a friendly message to players about the specific issue the game detects, but for now, this is a simple way to avoid trapping you in the game.

To summarize, the game failed to load during the Spooktober event because of a missing object reference that snuck in during a recent update, and that bug is now squashed and things are back to normal.

Enjoy some Spooky REVO all through October!
