I am in South Africa. I recently made my first sale (Woohoo!) but I can't get paid due to a payout limit of $50 on Payoneer. This being an indie site surely the problem should be apparent here. Game sales are slow for most and this limit means that you can only get paid once or twice a year if you are lucky. Now I know this is a Payoneer problem but this is the only option available for me (and other) that Itch is offering so I am basically requesting that this could be taken into consideration so that maybe more sensible options (for us foreigners) for payments may be implemented in the future. I checked a faq by Payoneer and most foreign countries now have a $50 payout limit. So for USA all good, otherwise not so much. Thank you :)

Thanks Eckoray, glad you checked it out!

The Game

Alpha Particle finally on Itch! And to celebrate we have a 20% release discount for two weeks!

But what is Alpha Particle? It's a game about a tiny particle that has to overcome it's obstacles creatively, all while discovering the purpose of it's existence. To be Alpha is what is must do... but why?

In Alpha Particle you have no body nor limb and your only offence is defense. You can't directly destroy your enemy but rather you must lead them to their doom. A combo of wits, reflex and strategy will ensure your survival.

The OST

The Alpha Particle OST has also been released with 41 tracks and almost 2 hours playtime, also at the 20% discount (under $5).

Dreamy, spacey, scary and relaxing Sci-Fi journey tracks.

The Bundle

And finally we have a bundle that contains both the game and the OST in one convenient package. Nuf said

Hi, developer of Alpha Particle here.  I have been here for some time but mostly in the shadows. But now I am out in the open so I introduce myself. I used to play more games but now I make more games. I love Sci-Fi above all but fantasy rpg is close by. I also produce and compose music, like I did for Alpha Particle.

In the very near future Alpha Particle will be available to buy here for $15.99 and to celebrate, I may give a few FREE copies to some of my followers (hint hint).

Thanks! Everything working great :]

Love the script but I have an issue now. I used to check "speed" for certain things (not set) but now none of that code works. Is there another way to check the player speed so I can fix this? Thanks

Thanks Sohom! We just finished porting the game to Game Maker Studio 2 so the final release will work even better. ☺

Really irritating double folder issue. Thanks for taking the time to make a fix!

I was going to make my own particle designer but after trying Geon FX what's the point. Everthing I wanted from a particle designer and more. Awesome stuff.

Hi Schmidt

Thanks a lot for taking the time to play my demo and even more thanks for giving me feedback. 

Yes you are correct in that it is not clear enough to see where you can go through or not at times. I am going to backtrack to the art and try and make it more clear. I have a new demo coming out in a few weeks so no promises but I will try to get that fixed for the new demo.

Hi Threeli! I am sorry for the download error. This may be my fault :( . I have tested the Windows exe on a Macbook once and it played. But looking at it now I think it was a runtime executable and the one I upload is a Windows installer. Unfortunately for security reasons I can't upload the runtime version. I will look into the matter but for now I will just have to un_tick the Mac option.

Thank you guy!

Destroy particles on space stations and defeat the level Bosses. Top down semi open world action with some puzzle elements.

My first game ever! Only a demo for now but hoping to complete the full version in a few months.
