supers are high-damage finishers, useful for hitting sick clips or getting packs of enemies off your back. some (like the uppercut super shown in the first clip) have hefty amounts of iframes. they'll also restore varying amounts of health.

the fine folks behind Steel Carnelian are working on a new project: a beat-em-slash-em where you play as a mech suit wearing witch lady. now im obviously a little biased, but it's already shaping up to be the coolest thing i have ever seen in my life. JEN-NY! JEN-NY! JEN-NY! 🧹💥

Here's a quick look at the next thing we're working on. If you played the Steel Carnelian pilot, you might recognize the protagonist. #screenshotsaturday

Little under 48 hours to go until this is out. Get excited!

Catbird Soft @catbirdsoft.net · Aug 2

2 weeks until the Steel Carnelian Pilot soundtrack drops on streaming. I know the wait is unbearable, but here's a presave link to tide you over: too.fm/ornkq2a. You can click it a few times and imagine what it'll be like hearing all those songs, and it'll be August 15th before you know it.
