Seven years after the first alpha, Schwarzerblitz v1.6 is out with a HUGE update!

To celebrate its 5th anniversary, I've written an article about the very first, janky, SCHWB alpha from 2017! Thank you to all of you who followed the game since its inception despite the jank!

https://supercombo.gg/2022/03/17/schwarzerblitz-march-2017-alpha…

Date a gay shark! Or a lesbian disaster! And uncover the mystery behind the Man who Speaks with Flowers in a new Schwarzerblitz short visual novel! Out now: https://gamejolt.com/games/schwarzerblitz-drinkingsharkrhapsody/…

My next project MOTIONSICKNESS is finally out! It uses a similar engine as Schwarzerblitz, but with totally revamped shaders and a 2.5D battle system! Open alpha ready at: https://gamejolt.com/games/motionsickness/601247

On June 1, 2024. The Red Riding Wolf will howl.

Schwarzerblitz version v1.6 is coming soon, with a new playable character, new arcade endings and a lot of system changes.

The black lightning will strike again.

Schwarzerblitz v 1.4.6 is out! New costumes, a new stage and bug fixes!

Due to some issues with setting financial information on GameJolt, I am currently not able to offer the latest DLC through this platform.

"Tales from the Epilogue" is currently available on itch and Steam, but compatible with the GJ version of the game.

SCHWB v1.6 update is (slightly) delayed to middle of June, due to a couple other indie fighting games coming out at the end of May (thus avoiding a pile-up with them). Fanart submissions for the final release are still open!

The impossible happened! Schwarzerblitz was featured at EVO 2022 in the Indie Showcase stream, so YES, let me repeat it, SCHWB WAS SHOWN AT EVO 2022!

Thank you all for your continued support, without you and GameJolt, this wouldn't have been possible!

Schwarzerblitz was featured as a Mystery Game in the Frosty Faustings 14 tournament in Chicago! To celebrate this, a new official Arkaneis skin (+ a new stage) will be added as a free update on 16th February 2022!
