We're not just focusing on combat with this game - Jenny also will deal with traversal challenges. This room uses timed switches to test her shooting and platforming abilities.

Back with more old Splatter dev posts. Many of the clips in my folder are showing off weapons, like this one showcasing FUCK. We had a pretty large weapon roster on Splatter: the weapons were just finger guns, so animating new ones was very quick and let us slip in a bunch of weird designs.

please enjoy this unbiased testimony from a woman whose name is in the game's opening credits because there's a part of the game where we make you watch a video of me brushing her teeth.
I know the one of the devs personally so I can't leave an unbiased review or anything but it's a shooter where your fingers shoot da bullets and your ammo is estrogen and testosterone. And it looks like this, shouldn't be hard to figure out if you want to play it or not.
It's Black Friday and Itch Creator Day. Splatter is 50% off on Itch for the next 5 days (buy it here: catbirdsoft.itch.io/splatter). Over the next day or two, I'm gonna post some of our old dev clips of the game from Twitter. Here's one from February 2022.

Hey. #screenshotsaturday. Check out our new enemy. This heavy-duty drone deploys barrages of bullets from a distance, and pressures the player with its extendable arms at closer ranges.

HIDDEN MISSILES
#screenshotsaturday time. This week we're looking at Jenny's missile system. This weapon is low-damage, but has high stunlock potential and can be used during any of Jenny's actions. Use it for crowd control, starting combos, or during juggles to set up massive finishers.

Been working on a more advanced enemy. This guy plays footsies with the player - closing the gap if they get too far, and backstepping if the player pushes into their space.

Here's a quick look at the next thing we're working on. If you played the Steel Carnelian pilot, you might recognize the protagonist. #screenshotsaturday
