DEVELOPERS NOTE:
I started creating Bit Blaster XL on a whim in late 2015, never expecting how much it would change my life. Its success allowed me to become a full-time game developer, and over the years, I've had incredible opportunities thanks to the amazing community that embraced my little arcade game.
Super Bit Blaster XL is the next evolution of Bit Blaster. With what I've learned in Unity and C#, I've reworked many aspects, adding Co-Op and Vs Mode, improved GFX, new translations, Easter eggs, and a completely overhauled (and optional) control scheme for better responsiveness (though it’s still not a twin-stick shooter).
I chose to release this as a separate title rather than updating the original because the changes are drastic, and I respect the integrity of the game people love.
I truly appreciate your feedback and will continue supporting my games. Feel free to reach out via my website, the Adamvision Discord, or the forums.
Thanks for reading,
