Archvale news & patch notes

Hey everyone,

It has been quite some time since Archvale released, and I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has played it over the years.

With Archvale at 50% off in the Bullet Fest sale, I thought now would be a great time to let everyone know that our new game, NEO TITAN, is up on steam for you check out and wishlist.

NEO TITAN Steam Page

NEO TITAN is a challenging twin-stick metroidvania - Explore a world filled with dangerous alien ecosystems, discover new abilities, and challenge powerful Titans to save an ill-fated planet.

For fans of Archvale, NEO TITAN brings back familiar frantic bullet hell combat. We tried to refine the best parts of Archvale and create a game with a heavy focus on challenging encounters and boss fights.

Thank you again to all of you who have played Archvale, and I hope you will have the chance to check out NEO TITAN when it releases in the future.

Thanks,
