Miko's Neutral Special has him fire a blast of electricity!

When you have a star active, the move turns into a bolt of lightning that blows up the star! You can even charge the attack to make the bolt itself become one giant danger zone!

EXPLOSION!
1. From tomorrow, the ExploJudo will be part of #SteamNextFest
2. All the people who got an Explo Judo full game preview key: Apple is now playable there too - and so are *ALL* the arcade endings!
The game is now content complete, bar some minor extras! #indiedev #FGC #FGCPulse

Nothing huge to share for today, so instead, here's a peek at Miko & Mira's full selection of alt colours!

Some of these look awfully familiar, don't they? 🤔

Fun fact about our game: If you play on the Kingsland Graveyard stage at any point in October, you can see some wonderfully spooky Halloween pumpkins populating the background!

Yes, this has always been the case. We just never mentioned it. 😏

Miko & Mira's Back Special is "Galaxy Lightway", making Miko launch himself forward with a rolling attack!

Use it without a star to place one at your starting point, or use it with a star to fly towards the star at lightning speed! 🌠

Take a peak into the cybernetic future of punks, with the new Cyberpunk costume for Red!

For those wondering, this isn't one of our costume contest winners, but don't worry we'll be making those soon enough!

It's been a while, but Miko & Mira are finally starting to shape up!

This simple combo shows just how Miko will be putting that hammer to good use! I wonder what that star from Mira will do... 🤔

Character #5 for the Six Fanarts challenge! It's Mystery Johnson from Schwarzerblitz, suggested by
@cdetective123.bsky.social!

This one was pretty quick to finish. It was fun too, love the dark-face-white-eyes aesthetic.

We'll start sharing more details on them once we're confident in our gameplay direction, so just hang tight and let us cook for a while! With any luck, it'll be worth it! 😉

When she doesn't have to go around punching frogs, Globule spends most of her time tending to her beloved garden. And her Gardener costume is the perfect outfit for all that outdoor busywork!
