It’s been over a month since Devlog #0 dropped. And what a ride it’s been! We’ve done a playtest, launched a demo, and even rocked the Steam Next Fest. You can find more about the demo and the changes based on your feedback in the demo announcement news on our game page.

Huge thanks to everyone who played, shared feedback, and spent time in Smasher!

In this update, gear up for:

  • Factory Floor Nightmare: Storm through workshops where enemies ride conveyor belts like express trains straight for your head.

  • Cyber Barbecue Tool: Wield a weapon that turns battlefields into a scorching cookout.

  • The Undying Boss: Face an opponent who regens HP faster than you can empty a clip.

Conveyor Zone: Logistics vs. You

Picture this: You're in the middle of a loud workshop. Conveyor belts rumble, carrying crates with supplies. Sneaky enemies sit on those crates, shooting at you while they ride around the arena.

Right in the center? There's a damned lift. It keeps coming down, dropping "surprises" on you: walls of shield guys, swarms of kamikaze drones, or groups of three big brutes. Grab your gun and pack them all into these crates!

No need to imagine it too hard! We've attached screenshots of the workshop area while we're still working on it. For now, it has no lighting, no shadows, and no other fancy stuff. But hey, it's a factory!

The Flamethrower

Aiming is for wimps, burning everything around you – that's for real ones! The flamethrower blasts through enemy lines with a stream of fire and spills liquid fire onto the ground. This fire keeps burning anyone who steps on it.

And what happens if you throw it? It turns into a fireball! It blows up and covers everything around it in tongues of flame.

"We strongly advise against kissing the barrel after firing. Even if you're very grateful to your gun." – helpfully noted in the manual.

The Shieldbearer

This update brings a new enemy type: the Shieldbearer. This is an armored fighter with a huge shield and a long-range spear. He turns head-on attacks into a waste of ammo.

To take him down, you'll need to aim carefully or wait for him to open up (lower his shield). We're sure he'll become a real pain in your ass!

With fire in our souls (and our code),

Smasher Team 💙
