[oakbearstudios @oakbearstudios]

It's a very exciting time for a #solodev to publish a major new demo update. A lot of feedback and probably way too many gaming hours later Stellar Breach should feel better in every way.

Have a look at the announcement and try the demo!

@NinaMoss_M Planning to post more behind the scenes tomorrow, next is how i built the mesh!

Sneak peek at the new Magnet mechanic in the Scrapyard level. These magnets whip floating debris into a deadly, swirling hazard... but there is hope! It tears through enemies just as fast. 💥🚀 Use the chaos to your advantage! #IndieDev #LevelDesign #GameDev

[oakbearstudios @oakbearstudios]

@NinaMoss_M Yes, got some really enthusiastic feedback and I'll be updating the demo accordingly! More to come this week! #indiegame #gamedev

Stellar Breach is running on A12X iOS with HDR! 📱 Optimized from 4 to 20 FPS using MetalFX upscaling, fixing HDR/SDR transitions and baking heavy shaders. An iOS release is TBD, but these tweaks made the core game faster & better. New weapons coming soon! 🚀 #gamedev #indiegame

Went back to Stellar Breach for the Argos Refinery Job – Level 2 and was not disappointed. New abilities, same enemies, but this time with a fighting chance thanks to a disco twist!

I feel I did C.A.T. and Barnaby proud through this chaotic space adventure. It’s incredibly satisfying to have a say over where the adventure takes you - each time a different play - and YES, it's as magical as it sounds.

Ultimately thrilled that I managed to find another weekly favorite. I'll be coming back to this demo to ensure my frenzy carries through each level and the journey matches my mood each week - chaos, or chaos with a side of whimsical charm.

Well done @oakbearstudios & @StevenMoss_M for the generous demo and the customizable storytelling that has me hooked.

Very exciting!
Having a lot of fun with the demo, preparing more weapons and new secret charging interactions to discover.
Will keep everyone posted as the adventure continues

For anyone that missed the charming ribbon cutting - BIG NEWS - The Stellar Breach DEMO is out and ready to play! 🚀

I spent my Sunday afternoon with Barnaby the bear and C.A.T. in this narrative-driven adventure where my decisions ruled the name of the game - all for gamer autonomy!

Playing around in Level 1 (The Scrapyard), I found smooth mechanics and incredible graphics that spared no punches. I was on my toes the whole time! What I loved most is that I don't have to focus on firing all guns to stay alive; those are covered by C.A.T. I just needed to tango my way through some grim-looking bosses and stay alive.

Easier said than done! Stellar Breach packs a massive punch in terms of difficulty vs. reward. This little ship needs to "sing for its supper," and that’s what makes it stand out in the #roguelite arena.

As a gamer who doesn't do well with triple command times, fast response action, or overstimulation, I appreciate how this delivers an intense adventure while still allowing you to enjoy the characters, storyline, and the enemies you make along the way.

I’m saving my strength for Level 2 - the Argos Refinery job - another time. I think I’ve earned a break! I hope I’ve made you curious enough to check out Barnaby & C.A.T. and their high-octane barreling through space.

Well done @StevenMoss_M & @oakbearstudios for the adrenaline burst! Looking forward to more.
Still TEAM CAT🧸<🐱

Embark on the stellar adventure here: https://t.co/5Kj7OrZYDy

[oakbearstudios @oakbearstudios]

Optimization win! 🏆 Managed to keep all the full-screen shaders active in Stellar Breach without turning the Steam Deck into a space heater. Silky smooth framerates and maximum retro goodness. 📷#BevyEngine #RustLang

[Steven @StevenMoss_M]

Testing Stellar Breach on the Steam Deck today! 🚀 C.A.T. is already complaining about the screen size. Jokes aside, a game dev's most vital job is ensuring a stellar experience for everyone, regardless of setup. Player choice and accessibility are vital! #RustLang #BevyEngine #SteamDeck

[oakbearstudios @oakbearstudios]

We couldn’t resist sneaking in one last "chill" feature right before the demo dropped:

Get too close to the Ice Moon Veil, and you’ll find yourself flash frozen!

There's no walking it off, your only hope of escape is to dash your way out! Think fast, or stay frosty. Literally.

[oakbearstudios @oakbearstudios]

The stellar breach page is still toasty just having been approved this week. Have a look! https://t.co/5Kj7OrZYDy

[oakbearstudios @oakbearstudios]

Thursday day dreaming after uploading the demo build for approval! A little teaser to keep us grounded while Barnaby and C.A.T. are under review!

#solodev #indiegame

[oakbearstudios @oakbearstudios]

Love seeing Barnaby and C.A.T. entering the conversation! Hopefully we'll have an update out soon. #indiegame #indiedev

[Nina @NinaMoss_M]

There's nothing I love more than games that are bold enough to color outside the lines and Stellar Breach does exactly that.

This space adventure starring C.A.T. & Barnaby pulls no punches: tight roguelite mechanics, wholesome storytelling, and a genuinely fresh take on player agency that keeps every run feeling unpredictable.

If chaotic, heart-filled sci-fi is your thing, this one belongs on your Wishlist.

@StevenMoss_M - eagerly awaiting the demo.
