Hey everyone!
The launch has been going great so far, thank you all for playing Dead Oil!

I’ve already rolled out a few small patches since release:

• 🛠️ Bug fixes and overall stability improvements

• ⚙️ Better handling and camera feel

• 📡 More accurate and responsive scanner

Everything should feel smoother now!

If you’re enjoying the game and want to see it grow with new content and features, I really need your help:

⭐ Please take a moment to leave a honest review on Steam! ⭐
We’re currently at 7 positive reviews, and the next goal is 10, once we reach that, the Steam algorithm starts showing the game to a lot more players.

It takes just a minute, but it makes a huge difference!

Feel free to ask questions, share feedback, or report bugs here on the Steam Community or in the official Discord, I’m active there every day and always improving the game based on your input.

Thanks again for all the support and for being part of Dead Oil’s early journey!

Hey everyone! :D

After a lot of sleepless nights and running around trying to get everything ready, I finally have a first version of Bottle Cracks for you to try out! It’s a beta and you’ll be able to play it this Saturday, October 25th!

The playtest is just a small preview of what the full game will become, but your feedback will help shape it a lot! Depending on how good you are (and how much you mess around 😄), you can expect anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour of gameplay, especially if you’re playing with friends.

Here’s what’s included so far:

• 🍾 4 different bottles! (I still plan to improve their models later on.)

• 🗺️ The first map, Castlecuco, featuring 4 unique levels.

• 🎮 Controller support (there might still be a few quirks here and there).

• 👥 Local multiplayer using Remote Play, or play solo if you prefer.

• 🌐 English and Spanish language support.

For now, the playtest will be available on Windows only, but I’ll do my best to have builds for Linux, and hopefully macOS, in the future!

Simple: your feedback!

I’d love to know how the game feels to you, whether you play it solo or with friends. Tell me what works, what’s fun, and what could be better!

And if you want to stay updated, share suggestions, or report bugs once you’ve played, come join our official Bottle Cracks Discord server!

This update brings a new level to explore, with a few existing ones getting extra length and some added humor along the way. Movement has been fine-tuned to give you better control over your cart, and loading screens now move quicker than ever.

We’ve also fixed a lobby issue that sometimes caused players to drop out — connection should now be solid throughout your runs.

New level : Island a short but fun hike through your dream!

Hey everyone!

As you know, the Myth Requiem demo is just around the corner. Today, we want to give you an exclusive sneak peek at one of the game's key mechanics: the Creature Capture System!

This system is the heart of the game, working both in the depths of dungeons and in random encounters while you explore the cities and the main map.

Preparation is key to maximizing your captures. Before entering battle, follow these simple steps:

1. Companion Positioning: Set up the initial position of your allies. (You can also adjust the formation inside a dungeon).

2. Specialize Your 'Pots': Decide which specific creature you want to capture and adjust your 'Pots' (the capture item) to significantly increase your success rate.

Below, you can see how this setup is presented in the game.

Stay tuned! The demo is coming very soon!

Check out how the dev from GG-Party plays the game and what tactics he uses to crack the million ;)
