Happy Holidays and New Year from AKGames!
May your aim be impeccable and augmentation game strong!

Previously I thought to only make sales after full release. But then pandemic happened and millions of people are affected in this global crisis. If I had more games I'd put them all on sale in hopes to keep people at home!

So go smash some robots while you're homebound and stay tuned for more MegaSphere news very soon!!

Months of hard work at long last crystallized in a substantial update for players to enjoy! With new areas, mechanics, enemies and improvements to game throughout, Anomaly update is a lot of fun. Thank you so much to the community for playtesting, feedback, reporting issues and suggesting improvements, I couldn’t make it without your invaluable input! Keep it coming!

Here's a little trailer highlighting new area:



It is time to open the gates.

• Enemies
  
• Boss fights
  
• Anomaly location
  
• Story

• Periodic gravity ripple
  
• Magnowalls
  
• Gravity wells
  
• Danger Zones® hazards
  
• Environmental puzzle area

Please enjoy and be sure to let me know how it works for you! I'll continue to work on this and previous areas of the game so don't hesitate and leave your feedback!

Meanwhile, work on new update is starting and I’ve got some new ideas for improvements and new mechanics that I think will greatly enhance the game. Oh and new area with huge part of the story to be discovered.

Because of changes to steam and indie marketplace in general things slowed down in last few months. If you enjoy the game, and want development to move faster please help me promote it! Please wishlist, leave a review, share the game's steam page with your friends, record videos and stream it. Thank you very much for any support!

Thank you for your patience, as always! My team for last year is basically only me and development time took a hit, unfortunately. But rest assured, with your support game is being made and plan is unchanged: make it the best game it can be!

Anomaly is shaping up to be a cool unique area, so bear with me as I add sounds and polish it up for release for all to enjoy.

Thank you!!

Here's something for the players who want to get into early builds!



New TURMS area is finally is out in development branch (pinned post explains how to switch). New mechanics, visuals and area design in place, with final polish coming later (expect some missing/temporary sounds and dialogs).



It'd help me out if you try new update and new content specifically, and post feedback on the forums, discord (https://discord.gg/wrmJUyU) or send it directly to me via email: antonkudin@me.com).

To access new content directly: start up the game, select 'New game' and switch to 'Hacks' tab. From there, top backup will load you up right before TURMS area, as you and Novikov are about to board it from Habitation.

Several sequent backups are shortcuts throughout the new area (its pretty big), in case you get lost or stuck.

Thank you for playing my game!! ;]

Here's a sneak peek at some of new mechanics that I'm building for TURMS interior area of the game.

TURMS is your companion ship and it will be fully explorable and will be almost always available to revisit.

Slidy things, lasers, cameras and power transmission


Coolant containers


Bots


Long elevators ;]


Physics!


Wires transmitting power


Simple puzzles


Teleport system keeping you out of danger


Thank you very much for keeping interest in my game!! ;]
