DEVELOPERS NOTE:

I began creating Bit Blaster XL for Steam on a whim back in late 2015. I never could have imagined how its release would alter the direction of my life. Through it's success I was able to now support myself as a full-time game developer. These last few years in game development have provided me with so many amazing opportunities. I couldn't have done the majority of this without the great support of the community that appeared out of nowhere to play my silly little arcade game.

Super Bit Blaster XL is the next evolution Bit Blaster. Since it's release I have learned a lot more about Unity and C# and so I have reworked many aspects of the game. I added a new Co-Op mode, Vs Mode, improved the GFX, new translations, new Easter eggs, and various other new things. I also completely overhauled the control scheme due to feedback; while it's still not a Twin-Stick shooter, overall control is so much more responsive.

My decision to release this as a separate title as opposed to an update on the original is because the changes are all so drastic I wouldn't want to upset the flow of the original Steam game that people seem to love. I also have learned a lot from (fellow) developers about self worth so the price will be higher than a single dollar this time around. i'm sure there will be folks keen to pick apart this decision as greedy or selfish but I imagine the people that really enjoyed the original and want to support indie creators will understand my choices.

I greatly appreciate your feedback and will do my best to ensure lengthy support for my games. Please contact me through Twitter, My Website, Nickervision Studios Discord, or the forums if you want to discuss an issue with the game, something misleading on the store page, or you just want to say hello.

Thank you for taking a moment to read this
