In my precision platformer you don't have a weapon, so I had to rethink how boss fights work. #indiegame #indiedev #bossfights #platformer #precisionplatformer #gamedev

I made a Candy Blood option for those who don't like blood.

Welcome to the Hardcore Circus - a difficult precision-platformer where momentum based movement, dismemberment and no weapons are the features.

Fight with boss? Use environment. Lose a leg? Keep rolling! Lose both hands? Start over.

Boss fight in Hardcore Circus where you only have movement and levers that drop heavy rocks from the ceiling.

Do not lose hope, gamedev is really hard work and full of struggle. I can recommend watching documentary Indie Game: The Movie

I ran some campaigns after game announcement and plan to run some more probably around the game release. So far the click through rates were really low and cost per wishlist is quite high around 4$. Looks like it's just the beginning of the grind.

It's wishlist wednesday, I managed to gain 122 wishlists since Nov 2024, I'm starting to think my game is unmarketable in any way. I'm gonna write a short summary after Steam Next Fest about the struggle with promotion.
