We've nerfed and improved the final boss fight!

Future updates with often requested features like key rebinding and an update to a newer engine that will allow console ports? Hopefully sooner than 5 years from now.

Hey everyone! Long time no space! We bring news from the front! :cobalt:


It should work right out of the box (32bit only for now) so give it a go!

We're just as committed as we've ever been to keeping our games up to date and always making them better so... we'll be porting SGS EX T over to GMS 2 so we can create an even better Linux version, Mac version and console versions! That's right - even Nintendo Switch :chartreuse:



We're also going to be looking into adding long standing requests such as remappable keys, gameplay + boss tweaks and maybe even some cool progression systems. :fuchsia:

:D:

Who would think we'd still be updating a fun little game that Nick made for charity back in 2015? :teal:

We did. Because we're New Blood - and we're good like that :TR:

It's been a long time coming but it's finally here!

Super Galaxy Squadron EX TURBO! :cobalt::fuchsia::cyan::teal:

The latest, greatest and FINAL edition of Super Galaxy Squadron.

What started as a simple college project by Nick Clinkscales has turned into what we think is one of the most full featured, fun and accessible SHMUPs in the galaxy.



So what's new in SGS EX TURBO?!

• SHIPS - Three new ones (now 17 total) with alt fire modes.
  
• MODES - BOSS RUSH is finally here. Can you defeat ALL of them in record time?
  
• FEATURES - SLO-MO "Bullet-Hell Time". Slow down time to dodge bullets like Max Payne.

We've also added new leaderboards and achievements - we're good like that.



Now, if you recall... the sales of the original SGS benefitted Child's Play Charity



So how fitting that SGS EX was just a part of the Humble Freedom Bundle!

We couldn't be more proud to do some good for the galaxy. ːsteamhappyː


SGS EX TURBO will of course be offered as a FREE upgrade to anyone who already owns the game. Just like EX was a free upgrade. Just like any and all upgrades to New Blood's games will ALWAYS be free. Don't tell our accountant.

We'll be keeping the price of the game at $9.99 through launch week until March 13th when we'll raise it to $11.99. This will be the final final final price forever and always. So get in now!



That being said, both Nick and us here at New Blood want to thank you for taking this journey with us over the last three years and hope we'll see you again SOON™ when the inevitable once again happens... and you're once again called upon to... SAVE THE GALAXY \o/

That's right - Super Galaxy Squadron EX a/k/a "The People's Shmup" is finally ready for launch. The remastered version of New Blood & Synset's (not a) bullet hell shooter that took everyone by surprise last year has been rebuilt from the ground up with all new art, all new audio, all new modes, but the same SUPER squadron of 14 playable ships. :cobalt:



As you may know - proceeds from the original Super Galaxy Squadron benefited Child's Play Charity and as we get ready to launch Super Galaxy Squadron EX, we are proud to be making a $10,000 donation thanks to everyone who purchased the game last year! You've all made the galaxy a better place for sick kids the world over. \o/ LOOK AT THIS BIG CHECK!



Moreover - everyone who already owns Super Galaxy Squadron on Steam (that's you) will be upgraded to Super Galaxy Squadon EX for FREE and have the option to launch either the new or classic version of the game. (And yes both have Steam leaderboards) :cyan:



Those who are new to the Squadron can get SGS: EX for $9.99 - as well as Random Encounter's original soundtrack for just $1.99 extra. That's $12 total for the only shmup on Steam you can probably beat in one sitting as well as the music to go with it. A good deal in any galaxy. :chartreuse:



SGS: EX will also be playable at MAGfest 2016 during its launch as part of the (MIVS) Indie Video Game Showcase with game creator Nick Clinkscales and producer Dave Oshry on hand to do battle - in space! :teal:

So tell your friends, tell your mom and tell your friend's mom!

Super Galaxy Squadron EX is ready for launch - prepare for HYPER OVERDRIVE :fuchsia:
