addedHey everyone!I am extremely hype to share our release date for our PUBLIC ALPHA with you all! We've been super hard at work behind the scenes creating all-new content for the game that'll really shake up how SNIPERPUNK is played.
addedItem SystemFor starters, we have our new item system! For those of you with eagle eyes (or maybe sniper eyes? 🤔), you may have noticed that our Steam page now says that we are a 1v1 Rogue-Like game. This was entirely intentional, as we now have a super cool new item system in the game! The way that it works is after each round, both players will be given the option to choose an item that will augment the way they play. These items range from bigger ammo capacities to drastically increased abilities, so games will begin to go off the rails.
addedNew Weapons & AbilitiesAdditionally, we have new weapons and abilities! The gun and second ability of each Punk have been added to the roster of selectable items in between matches (as well as a whole lot more to choose from), allowing players to really customize their loadouts and make a build that really suits their playstyle.
addedNew MapsFinally, we have all new maps! Now there are a multitude of new stages and arenas for you all to explore and get cool trickshots with. The level geometry in these is pretty different from our previous stages, so have fun finding the best angles for your ricochets!
changedRelease DateSUPER IMPORTANT: If you want a key for the Alpha, we will be dispersing keys to our Discord members, so, if you haven't already joined our community yet, click the logo below to be included in the Alpha! We will be updating in the next few days as to how to acquire keys for this Alpha, so stay tuned!
changedRelease DateWith that, thank you so much for reading! If you'd like a quick sneak-preview of some gameplay, check out our super sick trailer here:

Hey everyone!

Developer Brendan here with a super big SNIPERPUNK news announcement!

I am extremely hype to share our release date for our PUBLIC ALPHA with you all! We've been super hard at work behind the scenes creating all-new content for the game that'll really shake up how SNIPERPUNK is played.

Item System

For starters, we have our new item system! For those of you with eagle eyes (or maybe sniper eyes? 🤔), you may have noticed that our Steam page now says that we are a 1v1 Rogue-Like game. This was entirely intentional, as we now have a super cool new item system in the game! The way that it works is after each round, both players will be given the option to choose an item that will augment the way they play. These items range from bigger ammo capacities to drastically increased abilities, so games will begin to go off the rails.

New Weapons & Abilities

Additionally, we have new weapons and abilities! The gun and second ability of each Punk have been added to the roster of selectable items in between matches (as well as a whole lot more to choose from), allowing players to really customize their loadouts and make a build that really suits their playstyle.

New Maps

Finally, we have all new maps! Now there are a multitude of new stages and arenas for you all to explore and get cool trickshots with. The level geometry in these is pretty different from our previous stages, so have fun finding the best angles for your ricochets!

Release Date

To round it all out, the release date for the Alpha is ......... MAY 17th! Right around the corner (and after graduation, meaning there's more time for sniping ;) ) and just in time for some summer fun.

SUPER IMPORTANT: If you want a key for the Alpha, we will be dispersing keys to our Discord members, so, if you haven't already joined our community yet, click the logo below to be included in the Alpha! We will be updating in the next few days as to how to acquire keys for this Alpha, so stay tuned!

Thank you all for sticking with us on the SNIPERPUNK journey. We really appreciate all of your enthusiastic support of the game and us as developers and hope that you really enjoy the fruits of our labor. You all are amazing and your positive messages have kept us going through finals and graduation.

With that, thank you so much for reading! If you'd like a quick sneak-preview of some gameplay, check out our super sick trailer here:

Thank you all, and I hope to see you all during the Alpha! Happy Sniping!
