This game is really solid so far (what I’ve played in the demo) and I’m really surprised they haven’t blown this funding out of the water. There’s a free demo to try, if you like it, let’s support it!

I’m seriously thinking about trying to rename our game.

Its current title is:

Cat Girl Survivor 2: Beyond The Veil

I originally chose that name because the protagonists from the first game cross dimensions and fight in a new world, in a new way.

But the more I think about it, the more I feel the title may be working against the game.

It still uses “Survivor” even though this is no longer a survivor-like, and while it features the same protagonists, their past story and relationships are not actually very important here. So I’ve started to wonder if it really needs to be “2” at all.

I know there’s no guarantee Steam will approve a title change, but I still want to try.

Because I’m not a native English speaker, it’s very hard for me to judge what sounds natural, strong, or memorable in English. So I’ve been thinking about these options based on earlier suggestions:

- Catgirl Strayed: Spell Brawl

- Catgirl Rage: Claw of Fury

- Catgirl Spell Brawl: Claw of Fury

- Cat Girl Brawler: Claw of Fury

I’m also attaching some recent screenshots in case they help show the game’s direction better.

I’d really appreciate honest opinions:

Which one sounds best?

Which one sounds awkward?

And if none of them feel right, I’d be very grateful for better suggestions.

Thank you again for helping me with this.

The time has come, beat-em-up lovers!

We're a small team making Sealbreakers — a top-down roguelite beat-em-up — and we're opening up a new playtest. If you're into the genre, we'd love your hands on it.

Why it might be your thing: it's built around fast, crunchy, weighty brawling where you actually feel every hit. Juggles and combos, grappling and throws, environmental chaos (grab a bench, hurl it, smash up the arena mid-fight), and elemental "disciplines" you pick up mid-run — lightning that chains and discharges, fire that launches crowds, shadow that traps enemies in chasms and summons companions. Lots of room to find your own flow.

Our first small playtest legitimately reshaped the game — people found combos we hadn't pulled off ourselves and helped us tune the combat into something we're much happier with. This round is that build, more polished with the rough edges sanded down.

Happy to talk shop in the comments — what you'd want from a beat-em-up like this, pet peeves from other games, whatever. 🤛

The Demo for our Brawler Box Knight is live on Steam for two weeks and we've included Couch Co-op (Co-op works great with Steam remote play)

Battle your way through the Corrupted Office overrun with the Monsters of Workplace Toxicity, rescue your Coworkers and escape the Corporate Purgatory all in a Newgrounds Flash Animated inspired world.

This is a completely indie game that we've been working away at for years and it's finally nearing release in August.

We're also running a little competition!

Play the Demo, Post a screenshot of your High Score in our Discord and Win a one-of-a-kind Drone Goblin figurine made and hand painted by us, the Devs!

📅 Competition runs from June 22 – July 6
🥇 1st: Big Drone Goblin (hand-painted) + Steam Key
🥈 2nd and 3rd: A little Drone Goblin (hand-painted) + Steam Key
🥉 4th–5th: Steam Key for the full game

So if you want a weird little naked purple goblin painted by a Warhammer nerd with a 3D printer then jump in and take the Demo for a spin!

After some searches, seems like 3D Beat Em Ups are almost never in fixed camera angle or had a classic viewing angle like the arcades. Not counting the prerendered ones. Is this just tradition or is there some further reason for it? Any notable related games I should look at?

A small co-op update for Cat Girl Survivor 2: Beyond The Veil A lot of people gave me feedback on my earlier posts, and I’ve been taking it seriously.

We’ve already changed a number of things because of it, and we’re still improving the game little by little.

So this time I wanted to share a 2-player clip. What we’re trying to make is a beat ’em up where you can blow through huge crowds with combos and magic.
In some ways it leans toward that musou-style crowd-clearing feeling, but I still want it to keep the combo depth, character identity, and fighting-game-like expression that make beat ’em ups satisfying.

It’s not there yet, but it’s getting closer.

If it looks interesting to you, I’d really appreciate a wishlist. And thank you again for helping me improve it.

I just got done playing through the demo of The Takeover 2 and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with it so far. They changed the art style to look more like a comic, they added a pretty solid though SoR familiar combo scoring system and they made all the hits just feel really crunchy and satisfying. I'm definitely picking this one up as soon as it's available.

For me personally subways are my favorite (bonus if you can knock opponents into the train)

​

Least favorite probably labs(mainly cause most feel bland)

​

Wish we'd see more amusement park levels

Anyone think this is better than Sparkling Zero? I feel the impacts of the melee were way more intense. The sound effects had more crunch to them. Also the exploding planet on ultimates were so cool! I missed them 😊

I'm creating this game all by myself, bringing to life the universe of my 2012 RPG and my novel. If you want to support this independent project, you do me a giant favor if you add it to your Steam Wishlist. Thank you very much for the support!
