I’ve just launched BLaTTiX, a dual-stick arena shooter for PC, Mac and Linux, and would appreciate it if you all took a look!

BLaTTiX was inspired by Encounter on the C64 and Vaxine on the Amiga, as well as by countless demos (such as Mega Demo). I really wanted to re-create that “vectorball” aesthetic, but also wanted to make a fast-paced shooter that was fun to play. I hope I’ve achieved that! It launched on August 1, and sales are starting to trickle in.

I will be posting a detailed post-mortem over the weekend, so keep an eye out for that. And all feedback and suggestions are welcome; I could really use any advice you may be able to offer. Thanks so much for reading!
