DAMN! That music slaps so hard I flew all the way to the pacific ocean!
Excellent game. Playing this on Ubuntu Mate 20.04. It's been a hit with family and friends. One thing to note. When 2 players are heading into another room there seems to be a snag where we have to enter the door a certain way for it proceed. Not sure what to suggest or offer ya for help on resolving this. Other than that this was is excellent!
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you are having some fun with your friends and family! :D Also thank you for your report and feedback about the issue! I will take a look! ;)
Virus detected.
Hi! Thanks for the report! Some AV is detecting the game as a virus, probably because it is .exe file only, specially in the demo. But don't worry, it is not! :)
hello can you add Multiplayer on local ?
Hi hydrasho! You can play local co-op mode already :)
we can really already play multiplayer in LAN? I can't figure out how to play with my little brother
Oh you can't play in LAN, it is only in shared/split screen, sorry.
no right stick support? really? REALLY?
Hi HardKarma! Sorry for the delay to answer you!
Yes, the full game supports right stick! But the demo does not!
Hi sibee! No, Steam key is not included!
Hi Sibee,
thanks for your interest! There is no Steam-Version available, and there are no plans to publish 2nd Monster on steam at this time. So, no. No steam key included.
If you have other questions or feedback, let me know!
Have a nice day!
Daniel
Ah, that IS weird. :) Glad, you found the hickup, though. Good look getting the steam key!
EDIT: Woah. Our exchange goes into the Galaxy Champions Thread. I'll call the adminbulance!
Haha this is really weird! But about the Galaxy Champions TV the difference between Steam and itch version is that the Steam version you have a leaderboard and daily challenge.
Great little game!
I have a note about the keyboard controls in the demo, it seems some of the axis on the movement side of things stops the weapon side firing.
Other than that keep up the great work!
Thank you for playing and for the feedback! I'm glad you like it! :D
Played the demo of this for my Twitch stream, and the fact that I spent so long on it and it felt so natural for an alpha version says a lot about how fun it is at its core. Probably gonna pick up the full version! (Hoping the controller support/config is updated, though.)
Hello hupfen! :)
Thank you for playing the alpha and for the feedback!! I really appreciate it! :D
(The full version has full support for controller and you can play with it BUT you can't config the buttons)
Pretty cool game! Very simple in it's style but every second was action packed and crazy shaky! Wasn't expecting it to be as hard as it was, (even on easy) but I enjoyed it ;D
Thank you for playing, 5targuy!! :D
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank for your feedback and support! :)
Cheers!
Вау !! игра просто достаточно хардкор, но я хотел бы поддержать и стимулировать, но теперь у меня есть денежный кризис, конечно, было бы здорово получить его бесплатно, но вы должны заплатить за удачу! : D sorry for my English, just i'm from russia
Yes! Thanks for your support! :)
The DEVS have very kindly sent me a key becuase I did an alpha play back in Nov 2017 so here it is. My first play from the full release and this is so much fun.
Kind Regards and good luck guyswobblyfootgamer
Hi wobblyfootgamer!! Thank you so much for playing our game once again! I'm glad you like it! :D
Amazing work. Very fun. Keep it up!
Thanks for playing and for the support! I'm glad you like it! :D
Really freaking fun
I played for the first 30 minutes thinking it was way too hard and not knowing I could dash. Then WOOOOOOSH
Thank you so much for playing!! I'm glad you like it! :D
How easy would it be to make it linux compatible? Would be greatful if you could do that. Thanks in advance!
Hi Fandomethor! Sorry for the delay, but we are working on it! ;)
This game is gorgeous, but there is a small problem. On my PC it comes with 200 FPS and it's not realistic to play. However, it's easy to solve, you need to unpack the game into a folder with the help of 7Zip archiver and the file options.ini change the string AlternateSyncMethod to 0.
P.S. I'm very sorry that I broke the game
P.S.S. Sorry for my english, i live in Russia .
Peace for everyone (^_^)
Thank you for playing and for the feedback! I'm glad that you like it! I'm sorry for FPS issue, we will fix it! Also thank you for broke the game haha more bug found now it is less problem in the future releases! ;)
So i downloaded the game started it up ANNNNND, i cannot move, shoot, or dash. Pressing escape works, but the game seems to not be reading my inputs for some reason. Any idea?
Hi! Do you have a gamepad connected? If yes, you need to play on gamepad or disconnect it and restart the game! Sorry for that! if you are still having issues, please let me know! ;)
Hey thank you for the report! Yeah sometimes AV detect .exe files as virus or trojan, but you can trust me, it's not! ;)
Hey I played the game and it was really enjoyable ! I didn't get past the fourth level but be sure I'll try again, the challenge is balanced and fair ! If you're open to suggestions, here is some things I would love to have during my run :
- At first time, I took me 10 seconds to understand I had to go to the right to go to the next level. Maybe an arrow or something could help
- I didn't know I could dash this often, I think a little feedback showing it's recharged would be nice
- I think the grenade launcher screenshake may be a little too strong, it took a bit on lisibility - but the feeling of power is great too, so I'm not sure it should be lowered
And I think that's all. There is some really great ideas, like the little bonus monster taking your coins. The feeling of the guns is neat, enemies are cool... In short, well done ! I'll follow the development ;) Good luck !
Thank you for playing! I'm glad that you liked it! Also thank you so much for the feedback and suggestions! We really love them! :D
Thank you for playing! I'm glad that you liked it! :)
Loving the game. Keep coming back. Haven't gotten past 1-3 yet but i am having a blast.
I'm glad that you are loving it! Thank you for playing! :D
Hi, I wanted to try this out, but this game triggered warnings by both Windows Defender and Avast AV, and Avast reported a virus when scanned.
You folks might want to fix that.
Unfortunately, Avast is detecting it as a virus, probably because it is an .exe file. But it is not! You can trust me! ;) You can add the file to the safe list or turn off the AV to play. Just do not forget to turn on again! :) By the way, we'll try to figure out why Avast is detecting it as a virus, it is not just you that are having this problem. Thank you for the report! :)
Hi,
I like how this game looks, but I can't play( I have an error when I click on "1 Player". I made a screenshot.
Thank you for TRYING to play the game! :P Probabily you need to install/update the DirectX! Are using Windows 10? Please, try this https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35&44F86079-8679-400C-B... let me know if its worked ;)
Good game! I have to say once the pink swordy ninjas join the fight it gets too hard for me :/
I'm glad that you liked it! Thank you for playing and recorded it! From the video I can see that the game is not working as it should, visually. The floor and the doors are not showing up. Could you pass me some configuration of your computer, like the OS you use? That way we can try to fix the issue. Thanks! ;)
Just using the cool Windows 7 Ultimate :) Funny as it looked good to me!
Thanks man! ;)
Made a video
Thank you for playing and recorded it! Sorry for 2 player not working yet, also we forgot to remove it from main menu! But we are working on it to next updates! :D
At the very least keeping the 2 player option on the menu teases the possibility of co-op in the future and I am looking forward to the next update.
I love this game,keep the good work making him!!!
I'm glad that you liked it!! :D Thank you for playing!! Yes! we will release the first update soon! ;)
Yes sir! :P We will release our first update soon! ;)
Awesome game with a great idea of an arena shootout, but are you able to make a weapon slot where you can switch between guns picked up. Also are you able to make ammo left over from say the shotgun able to have the leftover ammo from another picked up shotgun.
keep up the good work!
Thank you for playing! :D Thanks for the suggestion too, we will analyze it! But the ideia is to keep the gameplay simple with no weapon slot, which forces player to play agressively by moving and dodging all the time to get weapons, which makes the game really fast-paced! :)
Great game with great gameplay and combat, only thing is i experience frame lag a lot. often times my game will suddenly run in slow motion
Thank you! Thanks for playing and for the feedback! We will optimize the game in future updates, optimization is always good! Obs: when you die, the "lag" is proposital, we drop the frame rate to create a slow mo effect!
great game. You should add the option of saving up the coins you get during battle, outside of the battle so you can buy special upgrades/items e.g. money magnets, skins
Thank you so much for playing! The idea is you have to collect coins to level up and then choose/buy one upgrade, this way we can create replayability. Every time you play you can create and test different builds. But we are testing a lot of things yet and any suggestion and idea is welcome!! Thanks man! :D
Wonderful game! only issue i seem to be having is, me and my friend love a bit of competition, and the two player option doesn't seem to be working. At least, it does not activate using the enter key. Is anyone else getting the same problem?
Thank you!! Sorry, the two player is not working yet, we forgot to remove it from the option! But we are working on two players mode already! In the next updates it will be avaialable! And thank you so much for playing! :D
let me say this though, many casuals in the comments are requesting an easy mode and balances, however, games like dark souls and cuphead are popular due to their difficulty. So, i think you should consider leaving the single player as is, and promoting the game based off of its difficulty. Just my opinion tho.
Yes! But don't worry, we want to keep the game hard :D The "easy" mode will be just less hard haha. Thank you for your opinion, I really appreciated! ;)
I'm glad that you liked it! Thank you for playing! :D
this game is so god damn fun and addicting, would recommend that we get full hp whenever we level up or complete a level though :P or add a easy/normal/hard mode
Thank you for playing and for the feedback! :D Hey! Get full HP when level up could be a good upgrade! Haha a lot of people are asking for that! We will add easy mode or something like that! ;)
How do you select an upgrade? Am I just dumb?
Just press "E"! Nah, the instruction of the game is very poor right now! It is just in the main menu at left/bottom side, it is hard to see! But we will improve that! Thank you for playing and for the feedback!! :)
Ah thanks man! Your game is amazing!
Thanks!! :D
Seems to be a Binding of Isaac clone.
Haha I would prefer to say that it is a game inspired by Binding of Isaac! :)
I like the gameplay, it's fun to play, addicting. But it's REALLY hard. I would definitely LOVE it if you devs add an easy mode.
Hey!! Thank you for playing and for the feedback! Yes, the game probably need a better balance! But easy mode could be a really nice solution too! We will work on it! Thanks! :)
Can't seem to play the game but the game seems to have previously been named SMASH.exe which avast does not like. Glad I put this on a VM first.
Yeah, SMASH was the name of our project before have a name Galaxy Champions T.V.. Hey, but don't worry! It is not a virus!! :P
Love the game, But REALLY hard, could use a easy mode pls :D
yeah i like casual games
would be definitely appreciated if there was an easy mode
Haha yeah! We can work on it! And thank you for playing and for the feedback!! :D
The challenge is what made it so special when I beat the end boss
Nice!! Congrats man!! That is the idea!
I love this game. It's got a few bugs but it's soooooooooo much fun. Thank you devs.
P.S. Overkill by Motorhead works really well with this game mwhahahahahaha
Mind you so does.
Motorhead Eat the Rich
Slipknot 555 to 666
And i'm sure so many other tunes will also work but the in game audio is the best.

Thank you for playing! I am glad you liked it!! And thank you so much for stream it too! It was really nice watching you having fun with it haha! Also thank you for the feedbacks! It all means a lot to us!! :) Cheers! :P
Got it. Hit alt + enter to switch the game back to window mode. The game doesn't like full screen for some reason.
Note.
I got into the settings for the game and tested the different Display Modes and it doesn't like full screen. The other options seem to work.
Video incoming.
Oh! Thanks a lot for the information and tips! :D
It's the same here. I've tried with duel monitors, single monitor, rebooting and still a black screen. I'm going to see if I can diagnose the fault.
Really sorry for that! A lot of people is having the same problem! We will fix it in the next update!
I really want to play this game but it seems like it's broken. When I launch it, it's just a black screen with the music playing (which is amazing, by the way). If you could please fix this issue I'll then be able to do a video on your game. Thank you.
Hello Mutant Gamer, sorry for that! It is probabily a Windows compatibility problem, try to activate the Windows compatibility mode! And thank you very much for the report! We will fix it in the next update! :)
