lmao.... im bracing for it >.<

You want to WHAT!?

Real talk: If Katanaut made you smile, I'd be grateful if you drop a review on Steam. They help way more than you think!

Katanaut’s first major update is live.

Compete worldwide, dive into new biomes, meet new bosses, unlock new toys.

Bring your Ninja Gaiden footwork, your Dead Cells grit, and your Katana Zero reflexes⚔️

Thank you thank you!!! <3

Yeah I feel that, definitely been there before hahaha. Regardless though, even 1-2 days helps to regain a little focus, and sometimes awesome new ideas hit you faster during a break, when you have some more time to think <3

Im working on all home consoles! Xbox, PS, and Switch!

Katanauts first major update deployed. Calling all Dead Cells and Katana Zero fans!

Compete worldwide via leaderboards, step into stranger biomes, meet ruder bosses, survive fresh mobs, unlock more toys.

I am in love with the chaos🙃

Yes!! Absolutely, a much needed break, and now I'm starting on porting hahaha. How about yourself?

Thank you!!! If you enjoyed Dead Cells I think you might like Katanaut as well. It's a bit more faster paced with some more mobility :)

Thank you!!! Spent a massive amount of time implementing these, they were all super fun. Hoping to add more soon <3

Heeey massive thank you for the shout out my friend! :D

Katanaut v1.1 dropped last week! Global leaderboards, new enemies, biomes, and unlockables :)

Imagine thinking I shipped an eldritch roguelite without a banana projector.

Thank you as always Felix!! I hope you had an amazing New Years!

Egyptian stuff lmao, i love it xD 2026 is going to be wild <3

Hahah no worries🥳 I can attest that it’s been awesome 🤩

Global leaderboards just hit Katanaut, and it’s been genuinely fun watching the races across different lanes. If you top a category, you earn in-game trophy that the whole station can see.

So many Nauts, so many alternative dimensions, but only one cohesive goal🥳

Thanks I appreciate that! There’s no secret here, though, just a lot of time went into it😅 yeah more biomes and essential goodies for diverse runs! Thank you again for the kind words!

Theres 4 days left on the Katanaut sale! If you like Dead Cells x Katana Zero x Dead Space x Ninja Gaiden, this is for you!

Reading your Steam reviews for Katanaut has been the highlight of my week. Folks sharing their fave runs and unlocks keeps me motivated to add more🙃

Thank you!!! That means a lot I appreciate it! It's been a rush... but I enjoy it. I've been patching the game a lot with suggestions and small bugs here and there, and then I'm attempting to work towards a larger update as well. Hoping one day I can leave the day job to do this fulltime <3
