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.

Schwarzerblitz - 2024 Character Popularity Survey! It takes 3 minutes to fill and will tell me more about your favorite characters! If you filled it already on Twitter, Steam or Discord, don't fill it again! Open till August 12! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJ8N2hCTAQp5AF-8sg5SDs…

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!

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!

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/…

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

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

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)
