Dunk the Devs on Saturday

Come join our Discord on Saturday from 1pm to 2pm CT to play against the devs! Jared and Peter (kokkivos and petcson) will be giving out lobby codes to anyone who shows up to play a round.

Free to Play Now Available!

Metagalactic Blitz is now free to play!

As previously mentioned, if you bought the game before the switch to free to play, you will have access to all of the characters currently in the game.

For anyone trying out the game for the first time, welcome! You will have access to the first 4 characters for free, and the rest can be bought individually. There is a "Try" button so that you can test out the mechanics against an AI player before you buy. Leave us feedback here on the forums, or you can find us over on the MGB Discord. Enjoy the game!

Free to play delayed until next week

Our version of free to play is ready, but there is a delay in making sure everyone owning the paid version is granted all the characters, so we will be waiting to release until that process goes through. We should be ready to go next week.

Free to Play coming April 4th

Quick update, we've hashed out the details and will be releasing the free to play version on April 4th, next Thursday!

Also, the game is on sale from now until we go free to play. If you are planning on buying all the characters, now is the time! It will be cheaper to grab the original game on sale than it will be to buy all the individual characters once we go free to play.

Free to Play plans

Hi everybody! Today we are announcing our plans to switch Metagalactic Blitz to a free to play model, and we are doing this specifically to get people into the online queue. Here are the details:

What's for sale?

Initially, characters will be the only purchasable item. We will be making Polly, Lt. Justice, Veronica, Max, and Zandra individually available to buy. The rest of the content in the game will be free.

What if I bought the game already?

We will be granting these 5 characters to everyone who buys the game before we go free to play. So you will still own all the content you bought.

What will you put up for sale in the future?

Nothing is for certain yet, but we have talked about adding new characters in the future, along with some cosmetic items.

Other Comments
Our intention here is to open up the game to a larger playerbase so we can all get more out of the online system, and make sure that current owners feel that the change was fair.
