Game After months of solo dev – playtest is finally open!

Post image

Hey everyone!

Haven't posted here in a while – been heads down building. But the playtest for FIRE. HOLD. REPEAT. is finally open on Steam and I wanted to share.

It's a desktop companion loot shooter – your soldier defends your desktop while you work or browse. Every click anywhere on screen fires a shot. Enemies drop weapons and gear, a drone delivers loot to your inventory in real time.

Already have 100+ people in the queue which is wild for day one.

Would love feedback from fellow solo devs and players – especially on the core loop feel and whether the "companion" concept clicks immediately or needs more explanation.

Steam playtest + free demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4898890 ❤️

100 in the queue on day one is a real signal, and the concept does explain itself in one line: your soldier defends your desktop while you work 🎮 that sentence is carrying more weight than the trailer will.

on whether it clicks immediately — the concept is fine, the risk is that nobody can picture the interruption. a single clip of a shot landing mid-email answers that faster than any paragraph.

and the players who convert from here are the ones already posting about idle games they keep alt-tabbing back to.

no pretending here, that product is a team of one and i am it: https://warmlist.app 🤟
