The "Green Tyrannosaurus Rex Set," which was available for a limited time until September 25, 2023, has now been removed from sale as the sale period has ended. Players who have already purchased this set can continue to use it without any concerns.

We appreciate the players who have purchased this set and have trust in our team. The DLC was marked as limited-time, and we have permanently closed its sale through customer support.

We want to emphasize that, unlike some developers who change their minds frequently, when we say something is closed, it's closed. We won't change our stance on this. Thank you for your understanding.

• Astrogator’s matrix multiplication error could cause your ship to hit some big objects, most notably the most recently discovered class of moonlets, during astrogation sequences.

Thank you for playing Mole Maiden.

This super small update features a few bug fixes that were discovered with the previous version of the demo. These bugs include:

• The breakroom soft lock was fixed.
  
• Dying in the first room of the game does not make you invincible anymore.
  
• Coppra floor falling fixed.

Super small update. Thank you for playing Mole Maiden! :)

Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled ride! INJECTION is making its highly-anticipated debut at SHMUP Fest, and we've got an exclusive demo just for you:

Dynamic Gameplay: Experience a fusion of intense platforming and chaotic shooting mechanics.
Temporary Enhancements: Experiment with powerful drug injections for that extra edge.
Diverse Arsenal: Arm yourself with a deadly selection of weapons.
Heart-Pounding Music: Immerse yourself in the electrifying soundtrack.

But that's not all! Join us for live streams where you'll witness the action firsthand. And don't forget to hop onto our Discord channel for a chance to win keys and provide us with valuable feedback. Your input is crucial in shaping the final game!

It's been a while since the last update and I've been doing a lot of quality changes & been working on new stuff so this update is PACKED with new stuff! Along with the update, we're discounting the game by %30 for the rest of the SHMUP festival!

First of all, a new weapon set: Jade Weapons. It contains 4 new jade-themed techniques and a new starting weapon! Let's get into it:

The 3rd map always felt a bit simple compared to the other two maps. And breaking down the door wasn't that rewarding for its trouble. So I decided to add another mechanic to the map.



There are three cannons in front of the castle. Once you break the door, you can steal cannonballs from inside the castle and carry them to the cannons. Then cannons start shooting nearby enemies! They deal 1500 damage to every enemy inside the explosion radius. When they run out of ammunition, you can resupply them again. They're especially useful in early-mid game.

• Added a Restart button for the main menu. You'll gain a soul reward if you restart immediately after you die. No need to wait for the defeat screen anymore!
  
• A new Brightness option in the Options menu
  
• Unlocked codex entries now will give you %5 more damage against that type of enemy
  
• Added scale and rotation animations to both enemies and your character. Now they squash and stretch when damaged or during an attack!
  
• A new technique test system. When you unlock a new technique, it will be given to you as a level-up option in the next game
  
• Cost of unlocking a new technique reduced (from 120 per level to 60 per level)
  
• Now, as you gain walking speed, the camera zooms out so you can see where you're going
  
• Some ranged enemies will flee from you when you get close! They developed a new type of fear called Samuraiphobia
  
• Now, there is a health bar attached to the door in Eastern Castle so you can see how much health it has left.

Thanks to the incredible work done by Locpick, you can now play Samurai Survivors in these languages! If you want the game localized in your language let me know!
The Russian language was added thanks to a Russian streamer who played the game last month. I can't seem to find who it was though!

The composer of the project and my friend Oguzhan did another piece of music for the game. Check it out:

• Game prices in TRY and ARS will be increased (after the festival)
  
• Fixed the combination bug for Ghost Walker with ghost slasher
  
• Fixed Walk particles render order
  
• Fixed the bug that causes values in options to change by increments of 2
  
• Fixed the issue that causes the player to get stuck inside holes
  
• Fixed the bug that caused ghost slasher to not copy area size
  
• Fixed the bug that causes you to continue walking on attacking a lock in DOJO
  
• Updated idle bowman sprite. Now you can see their bow between their attacks
  
• Door health reduced from 100 to 50
  
• Increased performance during curse level increases
  
• Fixed various area size-related attack size and attack collision issues
  
• Fixed the blank door background issue at Eastern Castle
  
• You can now quit DOJO after you die and still get soul rewards
  
• Added support for space characters in technique stats and player stats
  
• Fixed the issue that allows you to push past through the door

So that's it for the update! Let me know if you discover new broken builds with these weapons! They get pretty crazy when you invest in them and I plan to make more of these types of weapon sets in the future. Here's a samuraicopter for good luck:



In case you missed it, I'm also working on a horror game where you have to kill your clone before you die. Wishlist here:
