History

Lichthund is a very small game development team based in Warsaw, Poland. The team consists of 2 developers – Rafal Zaremba and Bartek Pieczonka, who always enjoyed fast, action packed arcade games with simple design and instant gratification. For their first game, they decided to merge the challenge and wonder of old-school arcade games with modern day art and music. That's how the idea of a game about a space warrior throwing a germanic spear came to life.

Features

  • Experience an uber fantastich mix of arcade action and lightspear-throwing simulation.
  • Battle a diverse legion of gargantuan wunder bosses - exploit their weaknesses and smash them into pieces!
  • Discover the lands of ancient germanic future and fight hordes of bidermeier beasts from another dimension - Wurst Zombies, Evil Spacedwarfs, Skater Walruses, you name it.
  • Show off your lichtmeister skills - decapitate your enemies with headshots, execute special attacks, and generate zuper massive combos to improve your score and impress your friends!
  • Rave to a bombastich space-soundtrack by Marcin Sonnenberg, ranging from electro-space marches to vibrating sounds of technocumbia.
  • Want more? Rise to the challenge and see if you got what it takes to beat the cruel, nerve wrecking Rage Quit and New Game+ modes.
