For those up for a challenge, Iron Meat will come packaged with more than 30 achievements to earn! At the start, every achievement will appear dim with a blue padlock over their icon; also, their names and descriptions appear as unknown.


You'll notice as you play through the game that certain achievements will be unlocked for level completion, or for doing specific actions (that we won't spoil here!). Also, some of the rarest skins are locked behind certain achievements, so do your best to earn them all!


Finally, when you've earned an achievement, you'll see a notification slide-in within the game, which will tell you the name of said achievement. You can head on over to the Achievements screen to see the condition you fulfilled to earn it!


We're excited to be including both skin unlocks and achievements in Iron Meat, and we're looking forward to players having a shot at collecting and completing all of them!

Stay tuned for even more!

Ever find yourself in the middle of the battlefield in need of a weapon, or perhaps an upgrade to a weapon you’ve already got on you? Well, look no further than drone packs deployed by the Earth Counter Invasion Force (ECIF)!



As you take on The Meat across multiple environments, you’ll notice several drones containing either a weapon or a passive upgrade (like Rapid Fire) that you can obtain.



Sent by the ECIF to assist in your missions, these drones will fly up and down as they make their way across the screen.

Be sure to shoot at them before they go away!



So ditch your standard issue rifle and battle against The Meat with the best weapons and upgrades the ECIF can offer with drone packs! Or…you COULD just avoid them entirely if you choose to, but who would be foolish enough to do such a thing?!

Hard work deserves a fitting reward. That’s why you’ll be able to unlock over 30 unique skins as you play through Iron Meat! While skins have been a staple in the demo for some time now, we wanted to showcase what players can look forward to when the game launches later this year!

That said, check out this image of the skin gallery UI:


In this UI, players will be able to browse over all the skins they’ve currently unlocked, along with a fitting blurb to go along with each one! As seen in the image above, any skin currently unavailable will be denoted with a blue padlock icon–which also prevents players from reading the flavor text to go along with that skin. And as you may have guessed, with each newly unlocked skin, that skin’s individual parts (i.e. head, arms, body, legs) will be available to mix and match when selecting your player-character prior to choosing a level.


As you progress through Iron Meat, you’ll be rewarded with a new skin each time you increase your player rank. In addition, the rarest skins will be locked behind certain achievements, so be sure to unlock them all!


You can look forward to unlocking every skin when Iron Meat launches later this year!

We hope you look forward to even more as we continue on with development!

With the Earth Counter Invasion Force (ECIF) struggling to contain the Meat invasion, they’ll need every able-bodied soldier on the frontlines! But who says you have to take on the Meat horde alone? Grab a buddy and fight together with local Couch Co-op!


Got a friend who’s just raring to go for some retro run-and-gun shooter action? Got a brother or sister begging for their turn with the game? Got an ultra-competitive acquaintance who just loves flexing their higher score on you?

Well, look no further than Iron Meat’s couch co-op multiplayer feature! With this, two players can join the ECIF in fighting back against The Meat! Mix and match your skins, annihilate bosses, and flex your best scores on each other!


In addition, we are pleased to say that every in-game cutscene has been ever-so-slightly altered to include the second player, so your duo will never have to wonder: “Wait, where’s my character?”




You can look forward to playing through Iron Meat with local Couch Co-op when the game launches later this year!
