Our New Game "GuardGrave" has just hit Steam!

22 nov, 2023

It's been awhile! We've decided to move back into steam with our game releases due to the demand of our latest title Deathwish Enforcers.

First off, we're launched a new title "GuardGrave" which is a single player or co-op experience set in the vein of classics such as BurgerTime. You play as two aging grave diggers, "Deek" and "Cecil" as they combat the forces of darkness and take on the evil necromancer "Bob" who has been raising the dead in their local cemeteries.

This game is a classic single screen game where you must hammer coffin lids down to their matching coffins below, trapping any undead you can on the way! Close all of the coffins to complete the stage and move to the next!

There are three game modes:
Kids Mode which allows you to always have a hammer even in co-op and more time to complete a stage along with more lives.

Normal Mode which one player or the other must grab the hammer as it appears on screen in order to close coffin lids. You also have a regular amount of time and lives for this mode. And like Kids Mode, if you die you respawn without restarting the stage.

Hard Mode The same as regular mode except you have less time, less lives and if you die, the stage you are in will restart (both players must die in co-op for this to happen).

The game also features an online leaderboard and if you complete it, it will ramp up the difficulty and speed and let you start from the beginning to continue building on your high score.

Grab it at the store page now!

GuardGrave on Steam!

Coming next is our game Deathwish Enforcers Special Edition!

This one was released on console about 7 months ago and we have had quite a few requests for a Steam release so here it is with extra content!

Deathwish Enforcers Special Edition is an Arcade Run and Gun game which is a spiritual successor to games like Sunset Riders and Mystic Warriors but with a far more adult sense of humour.

Take on the role of one of five officers of the special "Deathwish Enforcers" unit of the San Francisco police force in the year 1969.

Take the trash to the curb!

It's 1969, and an evil crime syndicate is trying to take over the streets of San Francisco. As part of the city's elite police force, the “Deathwish Enforcers,” it’s your duty to bring down the scum that litters your streets in any way possible! Take the fight off the streets and back to the syndicate's leader: Big Boss X!

In this parody of classic action films of the ‘60s and ‘70s, venture through drug-filled streets, tame undead-filled cemeteries, take on biker gangs, and beat the crap out of criminals for power-ups in this gritty, non-stop blood bath from the creator of Insanity's Blade, Super Battle Princess Madelyn and GuardGrave.

FEATURES
- 7 levels of arcade shooting mayhem!
- 5 elite squad members to choose from!
- Power up your weapon or destroy enemies with a special!
- Immerse yourself in the seedy underbelly of the city!
- Up to 4-player local co-op!
- Simplistic pick up and play arcade action!
- Get funked by the master of retro audio, Gryzor87!!

The Special Edition comes with all of the fixes from the original console version plus the edition of a new character, Maxwell Bondage who is a spoof of Roger Moore's James Bond, a new Title screen and the player movement speed now matches that of Sunset Riders closely.

DEATHWISH ENFORCERS...
There's gonna be hell to pay!

Deathwish Enforcers Special Edition will be coming out soon for Steam and was rated M17+

Warning the trailer contains pixel boobs ;)

Insanity's Blade

From the Developer of Insanity’s Blade Comes a True Generational Leap - Battle Princess Madelyn!

19 dec, 2018

Hey everyone,

There’s been a recent surge in Insanity’s Blade players, and we wanted to take the time to thank you for giving the game a go. Whether you have recently purchased the game, or received it as a reward from our recent Kickstarter campaign, we hope you’re enjoying your time with Insanity's Blade: The Chronicles of Thurstan and look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments either in the forums, or on our Discord server.

Talking of Kickstarter campaigns, if you follow Causal Bit Games on social media, you will have likely seen by now that Battle Princess Madelyn is finally out for Windows PC on Steam.

If you haven’t already checked it out, here’s what you need to know.

Classic retro gameplay for a whole new era!

With the retro of feel Ghouls ‘n Ghosts and Wonder Boy 3, this will conjure up memories of the arcade era with its Unity driven hand-drawn pixel art
10 levels with five stages each, they're replayable with no starting over (that is unless you want to)
Two modes including story (by a professional children's author) and arcade (for the experts)
Hidden collectibles with extra rewards, weapons are upgradeable depending on your armour, which you can find through the blacksmith in story mode
Fritzy has special powers to help you and assists you in your quest
Weapons are specific to certain areas, providing access to secret locations
Travel across the world using special portals to get from place to place

Oh the sights you will see and the sounds you will hear!

Slipping between classic arcade FM/PCM and modern orchestrated, you can tailor the music score from Gryzor87 (of Maldita Castilla fame) to help set the scene
Lovingly crafted by veteran artist Christopher Obritsch, the game features distinctive pixel art, from the cut-scenes, to the gameplay, with depth provided through dynamic lighting

We’ve been thrilled with the reception Battle Princess Madelyn has been getting from mainstream media, Twitch, YouTube and social media influencers. Here’s just a couple of our favourite quotes:

"I waited a long time for Battle Princess Madelyn, and I’m proud to say that Casual Bit Games has delivered beautifully. If you’ve always loved Ghouls ‘n Ghosts, but never have been able to get past its rock solid difficulty, this might be your time to shine! Aside from it being such a gracious mirror to the classic, Battle Princess Madelyn has plenty of twists and turns in the gameplay that will really keep you engrossed from start to finish!" - Entertainment Focus

"The thing about Battle Princess Madelyn is that the audio and the visuals are so well done that it feels incredible to play just for the novelty of looking at it; especially if you’re a huge fan of the classics. Controls also feel great, with keyboard controls feeling like you’re playing an actual emulator of sorts" - DualShockers

We have uploaded a minor patch today for the standard edition of Insanity's Blade which addresses some issues we were informed of by forum users:

Fixed occasional glitch in ARCADE mode where defeating a boss did not always go to the score summary screen.
Fixed a camera bug causing jitter on the edges of a level

Insanity's Blade V1.20 Update!

8 jan, 2016

Hey everyone!

We're very excited to release the 1.20 patch! This one is huge!

We've taken into consideration all of the feed back we've received over the past year and picked out the things we thought would make the Insanity's Blade experience even better along with the things we already planned on doing to improve the game!

Here is the giant list of changes:

All new smooth single player camera
Thurstan can now attack from ladders, vines, poles etc.
Thurstan has faster attack speeds
Attacks from the wall are much easier to pull off
Speed through intro and outro text with punch/jump or just skip it with start!
Fixed graphics on several levels (Church Stage platforms are now completed!)
Icon for store daggers updated to show proper number (game originally had 6 but was cut to 5 and the icon wasn't changed :O)
No more back tracking! When you go to receive a quest the game will automatically go to the stage you need to go to and skip the hidden wall sections completely
Added the Plague Doctor enemy back into the Plague City stage
Several enemy AI bugs fixed
Grab issues for some enemies fixed (note that tree men are not meant to be picked up - some things really are too heavy for Thurstan!)
Falling platforms in forest stage reprogrammed and are disabled for co-op
Special Weapon and Quest Item pick up is now automatic when you walk over them
Tighter analog stick response
Grab animation plays when holding weapon now - grab distance increased as well
Many other little things have changed here and there, like map font colors, the selection cursor for the map screen and the dialog box graphics

*Please note that it is only the two of us play testing the game at this point, so if we've missed something in our playthroughs we apologize and will correct any reported bugs as soon as possible!

We hope you enjoy the improvements!!

**Also! The WGN edition is still on v1.19 right now while we finish some testing for it, v1.20 is expected within the following days ahead!

Insanity's Blade V1.19 Update!

14 dec, 2015

Hi All!

One more tiny update here today! Thanks to more helpful feedback in your reviews Chris has tweaked a few parts of the game to improve your experience:

Controls adjusted to better support Xbox One analog sticks (Xbox 360 controllers still work great too!)
Added more color to some explosions
Enemy explosions are switched to the pre-alpha style with the arcade-style blood
Grab detection box is bigger, making it easier to grab without getting hurt!
Enemy arm weapon animations are modified (check the how to play video for hints on getting this weapon!)
Other minor tweaks that add polish to the game!

Thanks again for all the feedback and for playing Insanity's Blade!

As always, please feel free let us know if there's any game breaking bugs and we'll be happy to take a look, but we also welcome you to check out our next title, Battle Princess Madelyn[www.causalbitgames.com]!

Insanity's Blade V1.18 Update!

25 nov, 2015

Hello All!

We've just released the V1.18 patch which fixes a few bugs that might have occurred when starting a new game or playing ARCADE mode right after beating the game and returning the to title screen, and should be one of the last patches to Insanity's Blade unless any other game-breaking bugs might crop up.

This is also a good time for us to mention our next title:

Battle Princess Madelyn[www.causalbitgames.com]
which has a play-through video of the two stage prototype up on YouTube already!

We've learned a lot in the process of developing, crowdfunding, releasing, and maintaining Insanity's Blade which will be reflected by this upcoming game.

We're also switching from the HTML5-based Construct 2 to Unity, which means Battle Princess Madelyn is coming to consoles first[www.causalbitgames.com] as well as eventually releasing on Steam with much better performance through native export, and hopefully support for a greater range of hardware too!

But don't worry, we'll still be here to provide support in the discussion forums and patch up any game breaking bugs for some time to come!

Thank you all again for playing Insanity's Blade and for the great feedback we've received from you in the reviews and discussion posts along the way!

Additions to stage 2 CAVE level to make it easier to spot possible traps!
