Roster completed for the next release!


With the addition of the latest character, Irish spy Jenn Husler, Schwarzerblitz hits 16 story-related playable characters (4 more than in the current alpha)!

Together with final boss Donner and bonus character Tutorial Man, the total is now amounting at 18 playable characters!
All of them will be available in the next release (hopefully, before the end of the year), but I will take some time to make the necessary tweaks and write the new story mode chapters.
I still have to create some additional costumes, so that each character as at least three of them.

In addition, finally Training Mode has now a proper training menu (sort of)

Also, on the technical side, I have decreased the input delay after a mvoe is performed from 300 to 50 ms, basically making the game more fluid and rewarding a bit more creativity.

I will soon ask you folks to beta test some of the new features! Stay tuned!

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.

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

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!

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.

I got suddenly nostalgic for old game magazines (please, forgive my typo, it was pride yourself on, not of, darnit)

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!

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)

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!

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!
