10th year anniversary: $4.99 new price and more!

Time flies! 10 years ago today I was stressing over last-minute changes due to a memory leak I found right before release... Can't believe it's been this long, but glad to still be in business!

Can't believe it's been this long, but glad to still be in business!

To celebrate this, I am permanently dropping the price of the game to $4.99 / 4.99 €, which is half the launch price (or even 70% cheaper than the original price if you consider inflation!)

I have also applied the maximum discount possible for this week so it's basically "cheape than free" (if you've played the game you should get it)

We're still working to bring you some new translations of the new game but they are in proofreading stage currently and didn't make it for this anniversary. I didn't want to publish a half working translation. If you'd like to help with those or a new language, feel free to register!

Oh and by the way, if you wonder: this thumbnail comes from the original version of the game I made in 1999-2002. If some of you are curious, I put that version a few years ago on archive.org

(warning: this is only in French and only runs on old Windows 98!)

Finally, I have released an update (there hasn't been one since 2020!!) which changes a few things:

1.6.0

----

  • Company logo updated.

  • Updated BROK store banner link to redirect to the full game instead of the prologue.

  • Added optional gamepad controls tutorial at startup + gamepad options inherited from console versions.

  • Graphical changes inherited from the mobile & PS5 versions.

  • Some translations slightly revised.

  • Export now uses YYC for best performance.

In case of any trouble, be sure to use the "1.1.2" branch which is the version before this update.

Thanks for playing my games!
