New from Electric Prune Juice and Bis The Fairy, Twnkl Gft 2: A Lust For Blood is out now!

It's a funny lil arcade style shoot em up!

In the year 2040, human society was on the brink of collapse, but the game takes place in the 3070's, so it doesn't really come up. And anyway, it's Christmas! Pelt the humans with gifts! Quickly!!!

Thank you to all the players who supported our game these days! To provide you better gaming experiences, we have made the following updates:

FIXES

- Fixed the display error of the Chapter 5 roadmap;

Hey Hellsweepers, what a year it’s been! In 2024, we rolled out a total of 13 updates, including 4 Major Content Drops and 9 patches. None of it would’ve been possible without your support, feedback, and passion. Thank you for being with us on this incredible journey!

Was it any of the new bosses, fresh weapons, or something else that hit just right? Let us know in the comments!


In our final update of 2024, we expanded co-op to 3 players, introduced Gauntlet Mode, added Day/Night mechanics, and unleashed the Avarice boss. Plus, we added more ways for you to flex with weapon skins!


We celebrated Hellsweeper VR's first birthday with the addition of the katana, our most expansive weapon yet. Chieko made her return, and Pride ascended to boss status. 🎂


We introduced Frost and Volt Wrath variants, dual-wielding bonuses, and overhauled the traits system to reshape how you build your runs.


Wrath joined to complete the lineup of 7 Deadly Sins enemies. We also added the Magic Staff, delivered graphical upgrades, and rolled out QoL enhancements.



We wish you all an amazing New Year filled with glory (and maybe a little more chaos in Hell...sweeper!).

Crafted with Love,
Mixed Realms Team

Calice's demo will be released on January 1, 2025 at 01:00 AM PST!
You can try out the new mode, ENDLESS mode!
(ENDLESS mode is available after completing the tutorial in Story Mode.)

(These are belated patch notes that I somehow didn’t publish!!! Also, a Steam achievement for the new stage is currently missing. This will be added later today and will be granted when launching the game if you already achieved it.)

I promised an update before the end of 2024. I have been travelling a lot, so I haven't been able to do much... @w@;

Luminous_Wish has provided a new guest stage. Hello Lyn!! (This stage has been playtested; it is difficult, but possible to clear on Legend difficulty!)

• Several new fanarts from Sakuroke have been added to the gumball machine (there was also a previously missing one...)!!
  
• To ease introduction into the game, Azura's stages have been made easier to complete with lowered stage level goals.
  
• In the Guestbook, buttons have been added to link to artist portfolios to better promote fanart contributions.
  
• Some elements have been adjusted to increase overall text size.

Full release has been pushed back a bit. At least two new stages are pending addition.

Happy New Year! あけましておめでとう！

• Added a "Lights Out" phase. Now, before entering the next week, there will be a designated lights-out period. During this time, you can play on your phone, build models, or engage in other solo activities!
