Strik 9: The Journey Begins

[p]What is "Strik-9", exactly?
[/p][p]One month into what we are hoping would be a one-year journey to release, we have started building something strange, loud, and unapologetically rhythmic. Strik-9 is a rhythm bullet heaven game set in a world where rats are breaking out of a dystopian silence — not with weapons, but with glorious harmony. [/p][p]
At its core, this is a game about original electropunk music, high-energy combat, and stylish combo attacks we call "DA moves." If you're hitting your notes, you're dishing out destruction in perfect sync.[/p][p]

That's not all - we have two major announcements!

Firstly, Basika Games attended PGDX 2025, Manila, Philippines, to feature Strik-9. It was fun spending the weekend with what we are hoping is now our new, budding community. We would like to thank everyone who came in early in the mornings, and to those who stayed in after event closing to play the game and give feedback. We are grateful.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Even the Strik-9 gang can't help it. They just HAD to be there. Muff, being his adorable self, put up a leaderboard for all the high-scorers over the weekend![/p][p] This brings us to our next announcement. To immortalize the accomplishment of our top players, we crafted new in-game skills as part of our PGDX patch. Namely, S-Amandil, S-ChaosCrafter and S-Melvin. (Check out PGDX2025 Patch). [/p][p]
Stay posted for more updates![/p][p]
