Hey everyone! Today's patch brings only one change, however, we have a feeling it will be a deal-breaker feature! Since Jumping is one of the core mechanics in platformer games, we've dedicated last few patches to this specific mechanic. This time, we're completely revamping the way normal jump works. Previously, when jumping from the floor the characters always jumped to the same height, no matter how long the player was pressing the JUMP button. Now, we're going full platformer style. The jump's strength, or height rather, depends on how long the player keeps the button down. This translates

Hey everyone! Today we have a rather light patch featuring two quality-of-life changes. Firstly, you are now able to shoot whlie being attached to a wall during any phase of the wall-sticking (fixed position, slide, wal jump etc,! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40648069/73731b3f9c189c3091caab21d1c518d02c30bdcc.gif Secondly, you are now able to stick to the wall both when jumping and when falling. In previous versions the character could stick to the wall only during active phase of jumping. The only situation when the wall sticking is bypassed is when the player presses “DOWN” command to detach from wall,

Hey everyone! Welcome in 2023! We’re starting a new year with a performance update right off the bat. This update brings a brand new feature to B.I.O.T.A. - Performance Mode. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40648069/a3b580e443ffaab6da85ceefd278dcf3b33b5c1b.png Performance Mode makes it possible to run the game or increase performance even on old machines, low specs machines, or machines without a dedicated GPU. So if you've been experiencing input lag and/or fps drops, enable Performance Mode to increase the performance a lot. For techie guys, how does it work? In normal mode, the game draws the frames bas

You can now nominate B.I.O.T.A. for the Outstanding Visual Style category in the Steam Awards. Pixel art in B.I.O.T.A. was hand-crafted by the solo developer small bros as a tribute to the 8-bit era.

Hey everyone, B.I.O.T.A. took inspiration from many cult classic sci-fi and horror movies from the 1980s. It’s only natural that they also influence our first Halloween special in-game event! There are two major franchises revolving around little mischievous creatures enjoying human-flavored treats (small bros preferred Critters but no judgment here). These furry and blood-thirsty monsters have invaded B.I.O.T.A. this Halloween. The best way to deal with them? Blast them into chunky, meaty pieces! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40648069/69a58da49470766c7865408fcf76bad6935d66b2.gif While the C.R.E.A.T.U.R.

You can now get the official B.I.O.T.A. soundtrack (or S.O.U.N.D.T.R.A.C.K.) composed and performed by Maxim Tolstov aka JPEG.

Hey Gemini II Squad! We’ve made some updates to the game, just in time for the upcoming Summer Sale discounts. Firstly, we added the Free-Roaming Mode to the game.

Collecting leftover Specimens and exploring will now be much more convenient and you also get a quicker way to unlock the other ending. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40648069/9761e37617ea9656e346722be3457726d943673c.png Now, let’s move on to the second item on the agenda… The Warlock from Project Warlock retro shooter has
