That's right, Research Participants. It's Awards season again and we're delivering a very scientific independent study to ask you to support Bionic Bay! While we think our precision platformer hits a couple of these categories, if we had to pick one out of the bunch, the Best Game You Suck At award is probably the one that fits best (though we're still eyeing you up, Steam Deck, visual Style and Innovative Gameplay).We're here today to ask for your support, in nominating Bionic Bay for this years Steam Awards. In addition, as a little gift from Steam, nominating, playing and reviewing Bionic B

Этой загруженной весной финско-китайский дуэт под крылом Kepler Interactive практически незаметно выпустил одно из самых стильных и увлекательных приключений 2025 года. Bionic Bay рассказывает о неудачном эксперименте с инопланетным артефактом, который приводит к глобальной катастрофе в научном комплексе.

Fixed a bug where the unlocking condition check for the Omega achievement could be skipped. Now, the game will check for the Omega achievement upon launch to compensate for missed unlocks. Fixed a bug where resetting save data could cause issues with achievement tracking. We’ve identified that DirectX 12 may cause crashes on certain setups. This launch option has been temporarily disabled. Fixed boundary issues in some levels.

Fixes Fixed a bug where deleting save data would reset progress toward achievements. Fixed various level boundary and camera issues. Improvements Added Advanced Controls in the option menu: Added a new Spherical Gravity Controls setting, allowing players to choose between Screen Space (default) or Character Relative for movement direction control.

For some reason, I’ve been thinking a lot about classic platformers lately — and what made them good. When it comes to the lifespan of this hobby, they’re pretty important. Many people can trace their earliest forays into gaming to a pivotal platformer. Whether it’s Super Mario, Banjo-Kazooie or even Bubsy, it usually comes down to the movement. The best platformers always—through some combination of sound, visuals and sheer feeling—make the basic act of navigating their world fun. That said, Bionic Bay has some really fun movement. “Bionic Bay has some really fun movement.” It’s not your typi

Research Participants! Somebody who shall remain unnamed (KEVIN) has been left unattended with Bionic Bay’s ChronoLag time dilation technology. Because of this unnamed person (STILL KEVIN) we’ll be releasing Bionic Bay with a slight delay to April 17th 2025. However, in the meantime, we’ll be inviting Research Participants to dive into Bionic Bay with a new Steam demo (coming soon), including pulse-pounding racing with Bionic Bay Online’s friends and global leaderboards for PC players. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42461060/d84c232c52a87c102f0d5747258a396ced807d63.gif In addition, to help you face the co
