I don't often make pleas of any sort, but I must implore anybody who sees this who's got five quid to kill to give Rotschwert a shot. A hidden gem of minimalist atmosphere and genuinely fun and exciting gameplay that needs more eyes. Just a delight in every way

Thank you so much for playing!
The soundtrack consists of royalty-free BGM, mostly by EN_OKAWA. The track you're looking for might be this one: dova-s.jp/bgm/play1083... (the track that plays before it is by a different composer, not sure if it's available publicly)
Rotschwert is now out on Steam, updated with more polish, balance improvements, and a little bit extra~~
Descend into a violent dream, Red Blade in hand. With scarlet apparitions at your side - nothing will stand in your way.
The updated version is also available on @itchio.bsky.social
Steam Next Fest has finished, thank you to all who played Rotschwert Demo during this time. Shoutout to the two individuals who somehow got over 200+ minutes of playtime out of it.
Adding some finishing touches now, Steam release should take about 1-2 weeks.
Thank you for your comment. HP system was taken from the demo of my other game, though it really doesn't fit so tightly here in Rotschwert.
Might play around with tweaks to it and try other systems once the engine gets more updates.
Rotschwert, a horizontal bullet-hell rabbit game, is coming to Steam.
Both Steam and @itch.io versions will get an update:
- Visual improvements
- Pattern balancing
- AlterEgo Select
- Some obscure stuff
A short demo will be available during Next Fest. Wishlist, if you like.
Rotschwert is 20% off for the Winter Sale - wingedfox.itch.io/rotschwert
When the Christmas cheer gets *too* much, a little bit of intense, dream-like shmupping could help spice things up. Happy Holidays!
