Good news!

We will soon continue working on a new episode of Darkanoid! What can you expect:
New game mechanics
- two new unique bonuses for the Survival mode, one of which will be able to demolish several blocks at a time!
- new drones, we have long wanted to implement drones with non-trivial abilities. For example, one of them can repair damage to blocks, and the other is able to undermine the platform.
- new boss
- the appearance of random events in the classic mode (of course, they can always be disabled). We understand that the Survival mode is much more fun due to the alternating waves and adaptive difficulty system, so we came up with a solution that brings variety to the Classic Levels.

We talked for a long time about how to make the passage of the levels more fun and nonlinear, in the end we were forced to admit that the Classic mode is somewhat stretched in the passage. And it clearly lacks flexibility and fan base. New ideas and mechanics will bring that variety and a certain lightness to the main passage. And to keep up with the Survival mode, it will also be improved.

And I think we reported that the mobile version of Darkanoid is coming out in May, well, we must admit that the development was somewhat delayed, and then came the new ideas that we decided to develop in the first place. We apologize for the long absence of news.


Stay tuned!

Team, Shezo Games.

Dear community!

In this patch, a bug with the controller was urgently fixed.
We really hope that all the problems are behind us.
And we are sorry that this bug has caused so much inconvenience.

All gamepads that are not clearly recognized will be cut off (if it is not an xbox 360, xbox one, ps4).
Now the control will be automatically reset to default, then when you restart the control is always set to default and if you need a joystick, then again you need to select in the settings.
Added a keyboard shortcut to reset the default control (left Ctrl + P)
The combination only works in the main menu!
You can always write to us about the problem that has occurred. Do not skimp on describing and if possible send screenshots.

always in touch,
Shezo Games team.

Dear community! We have reached the finish line - for the FULL release of DARKANOID!
Many of the previously announced mechanics have been added, and others have been transformed. This does not mean that the work on the game is finished, we are still preparing additional pleasant bonuses for you.
New mechanics:
The store expands your possibilities for decorating the game platform. Here are 13 skins, each of which additionally gives a unique ability and increases the comfort or aggressiveness of the game:
changing the base speed of the ball;
increase the duration of some game bonuses;
advantage at the start of the game in the form of an extra life or barrier;
expanded clip when firing standard guns, as well as replacing the latter with other types of weapons, including:
plasma gun, laser gun and rocket launcher.

Important reminder! Do not forget to choose the necessary skin with the bonus you need before playing, and some bonuses may only work in a specific game mode.

Feature of getting skins:
Access to skins is provided through a subscription, which can be issued for excess currency-darkies.
You can extend and extend your subscription, but the duration of the current subscription does not expire, but increases for the duration of the purchased subscription.

A hidden level has been added to the game - EXTRA level. This is an unusual level, with its unique game mechanics and a lot of dark content. To get access to this level, you need a chip key, survive to the level with the boss and defeat the last one. Rarely did anyone manage to complete the entire level and take out all the darkies. Go for it!

Where do I get the chip key?
The chip can be obtained by clearing a sector, at any level. Pirates of the Dark zone say that the probability of detecting a chip is 11%, about the same value increases the chance of detecting a chip at each next level in the current game session.
Use Cosmo help not to lose the chip, live up to the level with the boss and test your strength at the Extra level!

The most important thing about all this you can learn from the tips during the game, do not miss and carefully study them.

Additional improvements:
Rebalance all game levels, including levels with dark deposits.
Polishing of graphic elements and effects, as well as added a stylized cursor.
Fixed a critical issue where the game might not work in a vertical position.

We listen to the players ' opinions, so feel free to write your opinion. Thanks to you, the game is getting better every day.
Stay tuned!
