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!

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

Aaaand here's the final version, straight from the early '00s!

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!

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/…

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.

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!

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!

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.
