STARWHAL changes
Full release of STARWHAL on Steam is launching September 29th!
It’s been a while since we started up the Early Access back in February. Thanks to everyone who has been with us since then (and even before!), and everyone who’s joined us for the ride! As some of you remember, we started the Early Access with these features:
2 versus game modes
3 worlds
10 versus arenas
AI players
12 song soundtrack
48 costumes
1 burrito
Let’s have a look at what’s in the full release:
4 versus game modes
5 worlds
25 versus arenas
AI players
17 song soundtrack
90 costumes And all this totally new stuff!
32 single player challenge levels
16 obstacle levels
16 target levels
Race to get Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum medals
Leaderboards to track challenge level times and your worth as a human being
Ghost replays to play against - beat your rivals and gloat to your friends!
24 Achievements
Customizable match rules
Redesigned UI for game status and menus
Radical new post FX including bloom, distortion waves, and more
Steam trading cards
1 burrito (okay, this one's not new, but don’t fix what ain’t broke)
Shazam! Thanks so much for everyone who gave us feedback during development - we really appreciate it! The game has grown into something much bigger and better than we anticipated and we couldn’t have done it without you and all our loyal backers on Kickstarter.
Price change
With all these new features, we’ve decided that we’ll be increasing the price to $14.99 for the full release, with a 15% launch sale discount for the first week. For anyone who hasn’t picked the game up yet, you still have until September 29th to buy it at the original $9.99 price! This release isn't the end! We've already got ideas and plans for post-release content updates that will be totally free. Stay tuned! See you, space cowboys and girls!
