NOISZ News

A new major content and balance update, NOISZ reV3.0, has been released on Windows! This version brings the first part of the conclusion of the NOISZ series, accessible by entering a link code from the mobile game NOISZ STARLIVHT at the ending of NOISZ re:||VERSE, as well as the new Stellar Linkage DLC pack with 4 new songs, bringing wild new patterns and stage gimmicks.

(The Mac version will follow as soon as possible.)

Some long standing bugs and balance problems have been corrected; in particular, players will find that the default Core Module is substantially more powerful than before, but some unintended gameplay strategies are no longer as useful. The old mechanics are mostly preserved in the new "Rusted Core" module. Deprecated scores will be deprioritized on leaderboards, but your hard-earned grades will remain.

As always, thank you for playing! We're looking forward to bringing you an incredible ending to the series with NOISZ FINAL pt.2.

We're excited to announce that our next game PROJEKT GODHAND has a playable demo as part of Steam Next Fest! It's a wild new keyboard smashing experience where you cheat constantly at an insanely difficult rhythm game. If you haven't already, head over to its page for more info and try out the demo for yourself!

We'll be back soon with more info about NOISZ Final as well, so stay tuned...!

The NOISZ series approaches its finale with NOISZ reV3.0. As the first of two parts of NOISZ FINAL, an epilogue chapter to Story D will be unlocked by using a link code from NOISZ STARLIVHT! The entire story of NOISZ SL can be played for free, and is continued alongside the story of NOISZ reV in this epilogue.

Additionally, some changes are being made to realign the game's scoring meta with its original design. Core Module will now function similarly to the Switch version of the game, applying a cap to the player's combo during iframes, and no longer has the "BPM armor" infamous in the community. A new? old? version of Core called "Rusted Core" will preserve the existing behavior, with most existing Core score records becoming Rusted. Rusted scores are ineligible for the leaderboards, and can be overwritten by any score with other modules, but grades obtained previously or after the update with Rusted Core will remain valid.

For the most hardcore players, the existence of a new module means that a new variant of Infinity Style will also appear. What could it be...?

Post update, conditions to reach the game's final extra stage and hidden song D.S. al fine will become easier. The epilogue chapter will also not have a score requirement in the credits game, unlike the post-credits scene which it replaces.

Finally, the new DLC Pack "Stellar Linkage" is also still under development. We're aiming to release it alongside the 3.0 update, but it's possible that it may release shortly after this February's Steam Next Fest, as we're also working on a demo of our next game, PROJEKT GODHAND for the event.

Thanks for reading, and for following us on this long journey. Let's look forward to the future of NOISZ together!

It's almost that time of year when the Steam Awards roll around again. It's not the kind of event a game with a small but devoted community is likely to win anything at, but this year, we're at least doing our best to deserve it!

Steam describes its Labor of Love award as: "This game has been out for a while. The team is well past the debut of their creative baby, but being the good parents they are, these devs continue to nurture and support their creation. This game, to this day, is still getting new content after all these years."

Please consider the game which, 5 years after its 1.0 release, received a total engine overhaul and brand new story DLC, and despite its initial shoestring budget, developed into a beloved game with a rollercoaster story, 40 surprisingly varied stages, and which for many offers hundreds of hours of fun 🙏

NOISZ's second story DLC (the first one in *checks notes* four years!) is here! Take a trip back in time and discover how it all began in Episode G.

This short campaign features 6 new songs and the all-new Proto Style, a wild new twist on NOISZ's gameplay which can also be used outside of the epG content.

For the first week after launch, it's also 11% off! Why not Give it a try. Or something. Look, I save all my good writing for the game, so deal with it.
