Hey everyone!

In addition to some minor fixes and improvements, we've been working on a way to speed up the early stages of KILLBUG for our high-scoring players, and we're super keen to finally be sharing it with you all!

• Added gamepad acceleration settings.
  
• Added gamepad aim assist.
  
• Added Taunt system that unlocks for players who have reached 100K points. Hit 'T' (or gamepad west) to accelerate the game and smash out those early waves faster!
  

• Fixed bad reverb zones.
  
• Fixed bad distance compare on the blood shot causing some bad targeting.
  
• Fixed rotation of sword in main menu.
  
• Fixed flipped Steam Deck pause button.
  
• Disabled alt enter so it won't conflict with saved settings.
  

Hey everybody! 🐝

It's almost Melbourne International Games Week, which means we're gearing up for the Australian Game Developer Awards (AGDAs), and we've got some exciting news:

[h3]KILLBUG has been nominated for Excellence in Sound Design![/h3]
We'd like to give a massive shoutout to our Composer & Sound Designer, Mitchell Pasmans, for making all the wonderful buggy sounds and music for the game. 🐞



You can follow Mitch on Twitter to keep up-to-date with all the fun stuff he's doing, and stream his songs in all the places you listen to your tunes!

If you really wanna make his day, you can buy any of our game soundtracks on Bandcamp.
(They're all bangers, trust me. Look at Mitch's funky party shirt. How can they not be?)

Much Love,
Samurai Punk :)

Hey everybody!

[h2]It's time for another KILLBUG Community Challenge in our Discord server, and this time it's 'Melee Only'![/h2]

Get the best score you can while only using melee combat, and post it in our server. (We recommend just unbinding your shoot input!)

Make sure to record your runs too; I'm gonna need to see some proof of the winning score!



The challenge will end on Tuesday the 22nd of August @ 11am AEST, so you've got a week to throw out your SMG and send in your best sword-slashing scores!

GOOD LUCK :)))


Much Love,
Samurai Punk
