It's difficult to make much noise when you're releasing your first indie game these days, what with all of the major releases that have gobbled up so much attention in 2023. Nevertheless, a new team called Enter CTRL Studios is trying to do precisely that with its arena shooter/party/action/roguelike game, Sniperpunk.
Developed by a team of college students, Sniperpunk looks to capture success similar to that enjoyed by other games of a similar nature, such as Enter the Gungeon and ROUNDS. It is a "1v1 Roguelike" with plenty of upgrades, guns, and levels, according to an enthusiastic message we received from a PR specialist. Best of all, at least at the moment, you don't have to pay to try it and see if you might want to spend a lot of time with it.
There's a bit of a process if you want your key. First, you need to follow a Discord link. Once you've joined the community, type in !BETA to attract the interest of a bot. This bot will have good news for you, in the form of a beta key you can use to start playing.
Sniperpunk has a cute art style, and twin-stick shooters can be a lot of fun. I'm not sure I have time in my schedule right now to dive down this particular rabbit hole, but it does look pretty neat and I thought I'd pass it along in case some of you are interested. If you do check it out, be sure to let me know what you think, okay?
