Made with Love by Bare Knuckle Development

We are a small, Manchester-based video game development studio. Super Mega Space Blaster Special was a month-long passion project created during the development of our larger game, The Flawless: Art's Tale. We wanted to capture the fun, retro feeling of playing couch co-op games and chasing high scores on arcade leaderboards.

Our goal was to deliver great value and addictive gameplay - that irresistible 'just one more go' feeling. We encourage you to play the game, leave a Steam review, and share your thoughts. We're committed to improving the game and are open to all feedback. If you encounter any issues, please let us know! We hope you enjoy the game and have a blast!
