Our first bundle had Billy & Amy teaming up against the world.This new bundle teams up two hapless, hoppy, heroes that will have you crying all sorts of tears as you fling yourself across challenging levels in Spritz The Happy Onion or move through the heartfelt story in the narrative-driven action/adventure platformer, Billy Saves the World.Fun Fact: The artist behind Spritz The Happy Onion also did some work on Billy Saves the World! He even whipped up this whole new look at Billy for the promo art for this very bundle!:I guess that solidifies it as cannon: Billy wears white socks.Anyway, if

It's me! Writer/Director of Billy Saves the World -- back from traveling the world and sitting in my brand new office in my brand new mansion that this game's sales provided me with! Kidding. I was barely able to afford the coffee I'm pretending to be sipping right now. But what's that? You're thinking about finally committing to a purchase? Well... this would be a decent time! Spring is in the air... the birds are singing, and if you listen carefully... you might hear me sobbing out of desperation.That's right!

You heard it here first, folks! But where else would you have heard this anyway?In anticipation for Steam's big Spring Sale starting March 19th, I've decided to hype up your ears and share our game's complete soundtrack, absolutely free.That's over 50 tracks that range from beautifully orchestrated instrumentals, to sci-fi electro beats from John McMillan (Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag) and Tom Ratesic (triple platinum producer).The music in Billy Saves the World is an undiscovered mine full of diamonds. Do yourself a favor and start listening to it! It's perfect during homework sessions, st

Hey all -- Writer/Director of Billy Saves the World here to say hello for the first time in 2025! Since release, I've cherished all of the feedback I've received in Discord from our very small player base, the YouTube videos, and the positive reviews. I especially love the hand written letter from Tom Cruise who said our game is better than both Top Gun's combined! It's been very rewarding watching people stream the game, spending well over 20 hours exploring a world I created, finding secrets I never thought anyone would bother with, discovering unique paths through the main quest, and experi

Back with a quick hello so insignificant it's barely worth raising a hand to wave back. Here's what we did in this update: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41892024/cb0af692e1378b76273c1b0037020cddd9287878.png CH2: Minor design tweaks in the Mainland. CH2: The Pit level now requires Rogue Gloves to enter it to save players who don't have them from wasting their time. CH3: Removed "wind" ambience from the level "Speed Test". CH3: The reason for this update. Fixed a bug in which if players visited the Grotto after choosing to go to Machina, the game would stick when talking to the NPC named Stubs. The game wi

Ho, ho, ho! Merry December 1st! I'm here with the first update to the game. Nothing super major, but after watching complete strangers play the game online, I decided to add a few fixes I noticed to improve the overall experience of the game. If you notice anything odd, don't be shy. Please feel free to join the game's official Discord and let it be known! In the meantime, enjoy the following improvements: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41892024/cb0af692e1378b76273c1b0037020cddd9287878.png -Prologue: Edited the movie sequence scene so that if players stand still, Billy is pushed forward with the moving au

Hey everyone! Cooper here to tell you that November 26th, 2024, is a big date! When I was five years old I would tell adults that when I grow up, I want to be a "computer game designer". 12 years ago, I decided I would try to make that a reality. 12 years later it is a reality. Yes, you read that correctly. This game took me 12 years to make. It is the definition of a passion project. I started out all alone with no idea how I'd get from sitting on a laptop with zero knowledge of how to make a video game, to a finished project. It was a very long road. It nearly killed me. There were so many t

I am pleased to announce that Billy Saves the World is fully compatible with Steam Deck! While the game currently does not have the official verified icon, I've been told that this is due to Valve's work-from-home status which is slowing down their ability to test and approve games. They've instructed me to make a post so that until then, people will know they can use their handheld of choice! Yes, that means not only does this make the perfect adventure to take with you on the go using your Steam Deck, but also the ROG Ally and more! Billy Saves the World was thoughtfully designed with handhe
