Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As a student developer, I am using Early Access to gather essential player feedback on core mechanics and performance before the final release. This phase allows me to refine the balancing and ensure the game is technically stable for a wider audience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game is expected to remain in Early Access for approximately 3 to 6 months. This timeline provides enough room to implement community-requested features and polish the assets for a full 1.0 launch”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will feature expanded content, including additional levels, more varied enemy types, and a more comprehensive narrative. I also plan to implement Steam Achievements and Cloud Saves, alongside general bug fixes and optimization improvements”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is a fully playable 'Vertical Slice.' It includes the first two complete levels, the primary gameplay loop (combat/exploration), and all core UI elements. While the game is stable, players may encounter minor bugs that will be addressed during the Early Access period”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I plan to offer the game at a lower price point during Early Access to reward early adopters. The price will likely not increase slightly upon the full release to reflect the added content and features”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I will be actively monitoring the Steam Discussion forums to gather bug reports and feature requests. Player feedback will directly influence the priority of my development roadmap, ensuring the final product meets the expectations of the community ”

About This Game

Step into Insulin Uprising, an immersive, action-packed VR shooter where your greatest strength comes from within! You play as Jack, an everyday kid who manages his diabetes—but today, he is Earth's only line of defense against a relentless, sugar-fueled invasion.

The Carbonites—a dangerous army of candy-coated, starch-armored warriors—have arrived. Their goal? To overwhelm the planet's energy grid, plunge humanity into a chaotic, permanent "Sugar Crash," and conquer the world. Armed with an arsenal of high-tech gear inspired by Jack's real-life tools, it is up to you to stop them.

Dynamic VR Gameplay

Insulin Uprising is built from the ground up for virtual reality, requiring you to physically move, react, and strategize to survive. This isn't a stand-and-shoot experience; you will need to physically duck behind cover, dodge incoming candy projectiles, and weave through waves of sugary foes.

Key Features

  • Wield the Insulin Blaster: Use your VR motion controllers to aim, track, and fire precision blasts. You will need quick reflexes and steady hands to break through the Carbonites' heavy sugar shields and neutralize their attacks.

  • Manage Your Energy: Keep a close eye on Jack's HUD, powered by his futuristic CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) Radar. You must balance your in-game energy levels perfectly to stay in the fight, heal up, and unleash devastating attacks.

  • Face the Sugar Horde: Battle your way through different types of Carb-fueled enemies. From hulking, slow-moving bruisers to sneaky, fast-flanking candy scouts, each enemy requires a different tactical approach to defeat.

  • An Empowering Adventure: We are flipping the script on chronic conditions. In this world, managing diabetes isn't a burden—it is the exact tactical superpower and discipline needed to save humanity.
