We’re excited to hear your thoughts and feedback as you dive into the game. Let’s work together to make "One More Bang" even better!ːsteamhappyː

We want your honest opinions on: ​​UI interactions​​、​​Gameplay flow​​、​​Overall experience、​​Server stability​​ etc. ːsteamthumbsupːYour feedback will help us spot bugs, tweak systems, and polish the game before launch.ːsteamthumbsupː

This Playtest showcases the ​​core mechanics​​ of "One More Bang":

• Start with a ​​random identity​​ and Hunting List​​.
  
• Use items and skills strategically to survive.
  
• Matches last ​​10-20 minutes​​ on average.
  
• Play at least ​​4 rounds​​ to unlock all current roles and items.

​​Note:​​ Only the ​​JK High School Girl (Saori)​​ is playable in this test. Other characters are coming later!

ːsteamthisː
This is a ​​work-in-progress build​​—expect bugs, crashes, and placeholder content. We’ll keep updating the test version, which might break save files or change systems. (Sorry, progress won’t carry over to the full game!)

​​Stuck?​​ If a button isn’t responding, tap ESC to back out.

​​Sharing content?​​ Need permission from the devs first (DM us!).

​​Found a bug?​​ Please report it via our Discord (link here).
After this test, we’ll add:

• ​​Animated scenes​​ for all characters (lobby idle, identity checks, MVP moments, etc.).
  
• ​​Better music​​, smoother UI, and a ​​3D gallery​​ for unlocks.

I'm thrilled to announce that the latest patch is live, introducing a major new feature: Challenge Mode!

Although the game had always been focused on a free procedural form of gameplay, I've always wanted a way to incorporate story-driven content and handcrafted maps. After weeks of experimentation and refactoring, I'm excited to finally share this update with you!






In this initial release, Challenge Mode includes only one challenge. This is partly because developing this patch took way too much time, and also because I would really like to have a bit of feedback before I make more.

Patch 2.1 also introduces a new tactical option: combat positioning. You can now choose to place each of your disciples either on the front line or in the rear. This simple choice can significantly impact the battle, and it pairs well with another new feature: the ability to retry any battle without incurring penalties.
