Happy 2nd anniversary, Grid Swarm!


And to celebrate, I'm running a fanart free-for-all event in my Discord server: https://discord.gg/bKUpb8cE?event=1058260575022481438

I know nobody is even bothered to take a look at this game anymore after I neglected it for other projects, but you have to know that I care about all of the games I made, I simply have no idea nor time to innovate what, in my opinion is already "perfect".

But, any games, including mine, deserve some love, so why not embrace your love on Grid Swarm with this event?

Happy 2024, everyone! Balls n' Stars 2 is back in development!

So, 3 out of 4 settings section are done and there's only one more to work with, the Controls section.

After days of unstoppable procrastinating, the settings menu is finally done!

Welp, guess it's time to work on the fourth island. 🏝️🍂

Today marks the 3rd year for Grid Swarm! And to celebrate it, the game just got updated to version 1.1.0 with these changes:

- Sound balancing - New page background - Faster character movement

There won't be downloadable builds, though. Sorry.

Adding breakable physics objects to the mix, because I feel like it

Nah, this could be good for elaborate stage layouts, I dunno

Almost forgot to show y'all the new loading screen animation, initially to add a white panel behind the icons since they might blend with the background which changes with each island.

Demo update ver. 0.2.0 is up!

Now, you can try out the new aiming system! There are also some new sound effects.

Grid Swarm, an arcade vertical shooter where you can only shoot vertically and move in all 4 directions... is finally here!

Finally, got something to share. I thought implementing this mechanic won't be easy, but color me impressed.

And yes, the fourth island is themed after autumn / fall.

Finally done with the fourth island, so time to work on the UI once again.

Added a new popup to notify about new Star Fairy visitors in the menu's background. Some visitors will show up if you get at least an A rank on some stages.

Time to work on the settings dialog before starting to work on the fourth island

So far, both the display and audio config screens are working
