New playable demo!

Untarctica (Vertical Slice)
A downloadable demo for Windows

Hello, everybody! After several months working in silence, we're glad to inform that a brand new build of our game is out! Aside from entertaining our players, we hope this demo can validate some of the design choices we’ve made (and a few we’re still experimenting with). So we urge you to give Untarctica a try and let us know how it went.

New Features:

  • More content: two extra regions, three new bosses and a bunch of enemies
  • New powerup: The rotating prism shield is protective against bullets, as well as an efficient close-range attack
  • Codex: hunting enemies, collecting lore and finding powerups now add articles to the Codex new feature

Plus, based on player feedback, our latest demo includes several key improvements:

  • Duck/Crouch Mechanic: Dodge bullets, aim lower, and accelerate falls
  • Mouse Button Keybinds: Additional control options
  • Adjustable Game Speed: Slow-motion feature for challenging sections
  • New Language: Portuguese translation now available
  • Enhanced Minimap: Now displays doors and their states for better exploration
  • Easier bosses mode: Can be set on/off at any moment; causes bosses to be slightly more manageable
  • MIDI Support: Play using MIDI instruments like saxophones or electronic drumkits

Technical Improvements:

  • Alt+Enter fullscreen toggle
  • Improved tutorial hints
  • Updated fonts
  • Game balance adjustments
  • Overhauled assist features
  • Performance and stability enhancements
  • Refined game physics
  • A bunch more!

Thank you for your continued support and feedback!
