Conceal your upper torso in style

We now have t-shirts! Barney’s created a bunch of awesome t-shirt art and we have two very cool designs by guest artists @sixfootewok and @Qt0ri available now thanks to our good friends at Samurai Punk who have helped us out by putting them in their online store.

Oh, and right now there’s a 20% off everything sale… Huzzah!

Check ’em out here!

Online Crawlin’

We’ve recently been trying out a service called Parsec which allows you to stream a game and have friends play along remotely, and we’re happy to be able to give it the Official Powerhoof™ Severed Thumbs Up of Approval®!

Parsec lets you stream a game and have friends watch and play along with their own controllers. Latency was my biggest worry, but it wasn’t a problem when we played, certainly no worse than our dodgy indie implementation of online multiplayer would have been!

If you want to try it out yourself, there’s more details here.
 

Powerhoof Official Discord

In case you hadn’t noticed the fancy widget, we now have an official discord server. Come chat to us about things, or find someone to play Crawl with!

A portable version just in time for Christmas!

Now we’re on Switch we’ve gone 100% family friendly. No more ancient terrors and harrowing tentacled beasts, just wholesome fun, good cheer, and a jolly old time playing video games with your friends!

Okay, might be a slight touch of endless cosmic horror still in there…

Crawl is launching on Switch, December 19th!

 
We have our Switch version of Crawl all polished up and ready to go, launching just in time for Christmas woo!

What a pleasant surprise to have Nintendo put out this perfect little console for local multiplayer!

Switch is such a great match for Crawl, and I’m stoked to have a game coming out on a Nintendo console – 12 year old me would totally lose his mind over this, haha 🙂

Thanks for all the support, we have such a great community around this game, and I hope you have a blast with Crawl on the Switch!!

The full version is loose in the wild!

We have a new boss, a bunch of new monsters, new items, new props, achievements, trading cards, OST, a million little fixes, and a brand new trailer starring Ye Old Shrimpeyes and the eternal rotting void…

Now to go and watch the website analytics until my eyes roll out of my face!!

The move to consoles brings up beef!

Looking back at our ups and downs trying to get Crawl done, there is one silly email I sent that always makes me think “holy crap, how is this my job?!” haha.

Crawl is out TOMORROW????!?!?!?!?

-Barney

Time for more Shrimpy!

Getting close to launch time means making another trailer, which means another incredibly professional recording session with Ye Old Shrimpeyes!

Hopefully it doesn’t shatter the illusion haha 🙂

Finally ready for launch, AND COMING TO CONSOLES 🙂

After all this time we’re finally ready to call this thing 1.0! We have a new boss all ready to go, a bunch of new stuff including achievements, Steam trading cards etc, and our buddy Jon has been slaving away on console ports!

I’m just putting the finishing touches on our launch trailer after a few recording sessions with Ye Old Shrimpeyes, so be ready for more video silliness on the 11th 🙂

Also TAKE THAT YARRIS!!! Finally someone with the guts to take those Yarris guys down a peg!

Update v0.12: Eye Bat is ready in time for Christmas!

Welp, we’ve got a bunch more Crawl stuff out for the holidays!

Apart from expanding the eye bat evolve tree, the main focus this update has been monster balance. A lot of the crappier monsters have been tweaked/buffed, and a few of the more powerful guys have been tweaked to be less OP.

Aaaaand… CHRISTMAS PRESENTS WOOO! Hehe I hope you all enjoy it, and please let us know how the monster changes are working for you!
