Implemented unlockable content + some gameplay fixes.


I’ve managed to implement unlockables in-game! This means that the next version of Schwarzerblitz will provide some cool extra stages and characters to obtain via arcade mode ;)

The next release will also fix the current issues with throws: most of the characters can simply beat the AI by repeating the throw (this is true until Hard difficulty pops in); in addition, they are really hard to evade.
I have increased the opportunity window for escaping the throw from 4 to 9 frames (ca. 150 ms) and I will add a delay time of approx. 5 frames after completion, so that a player won’t be able to keep on throwing an opponent after wake-up.

If you have any feature request, this is the right place to ask ;)

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.

After a lot of delay (for which I apologize from the bottom of my heart), the 8-Colors Star Guardians+ free DLC costumes are now available for download! This DLC package contains the two previously released DLC packs for the Steam version!

Schwarzerblitz @ EVO 2025! This is not a drill!

Meet the developer August 1-3 in Las Vegas in the indie dev area and (why not?) challenge him to a duel!

Las Vegas, it's time to RIDE THE LIGHTNING!

Renzo had a chronic lack of Mid strikes, so I decided to try my luck at giving him at least one with some approach and counter hit combo potential (not sure how good of an idea it is, will keep testing)

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!

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

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!
