Air Hares changes
On January 14, 2026, a lifelong dream comes true for the Air Hares creators: the Air Hares game + comic book officially launch on Steam!
Air Hares is a labor of love from husband-and-wife team Tim and Megan Bungeroth. Together with an incredible crew of freelance programmers, artists, musicians, they've been working to bring Captain Rabbo to life since 2020.
Inspired by their journey with infertility and finding hope in science when nature fails, Tim and Megan created a retro-style "bullet hell" game that's about creating life, not taking it.
Today, they're thrilled to share that Air Hares will be released on Wednesday, January 14, 2026.

About the game
Air Hares is a retro-inspired top-down shooter where you play as Captain Rabbo, seeding and watering the carrot crop of Winrose while dodging Gale Gang falcon goons.
Players progress through 4 stages, with 3 farming levels and a boss fight in each. As you advance, you'll need to use skills like the barrel roll, parry, and loop-de-loop to dodge the ever-faster falcons. Weather elements like wind, rain, and lightning add extra difficulty.
Co-op mode features Player 2 as Dirk Doggo, Captain Rabbo's loyal canine companion. It's the perfect set-up for parents and young kids to play together.
Air Hares game features include:
Shooting seeds and water droplets to fill each of 3 carrot fields per level
Dodging + parrying falcons intent on knocking Rabbo out of the sky
Beating 4 different avian bosses with unique mechanics
Teaming up with Dirk Doggo in co-op mode – perfect for playing with kids!
Original music, beautiful pixel art, narrative cut scenes, and a story of hope in the face of desolation
