Barcelona – [March 17th 2022] –  2Awesome Studio (2AS)  officially announces the presence of AK-xolotl, their upcoming top-down roguelite, at The MIX 10th anniversary showcase.


The Media Indie Exchange (MIX) is all about the games – created by indies and indie game enthusiasts to provide a casual yet professional setting for developers to showcase their projects to top journalists and key folks in the industry. Beginning with the first event hosted at IGN’s offices in 2012, The MIX has featured award-winning games from developers around the world for all platforms and channels.


The online showcase is taking place on Tuesday, March 22nd at 10AM PT / 6PM CET, and can be watched live on either Twitch or Youtube. Make sure to tune in and watch the exclusive live premiere of AK-xolotl's brand new trailer!


In addition to the online showcase, there will also be a Steam event where a demo for AK-xolotl will be available to download and play!

  AK-xolotl is a top-down roguelite, featuring the cutest amphibian. You're an axolotl with an AK (duh!) that goes on a rampage, shooting down their next meal!


Progress through the ecosystem and show who the real apex predator is! Advance through several maps that mix the best of both worlds: procedurally generated biomes, for a randomized experience, and carefully handcrafted room layouts, to achieve the perfect pond atmosphere.


Key features:

 

  • Hunt and obliterate your prey with tons of different weapons: melee, close-range, long-range, etc., pick your own playstyle! 

  • Tons of different types of enemies: axolotl's meal will be buffet style!

  • Become not only the real apex predator, but also a Michelin chef: cook delicious recipes with all the ingredients you gather throughout your hunting adventures and become stronger.

  • Expandable and customizable hub: build and customize your own pond & craft new items to decorate it! Your axolotl deserves the best  place to live in.

  • Multiple power-ups to beef up your Axolotl: yes, you have guns, but why not some extra powers as well, that not only make you mightier but also add variety to the gameplay?

  • Different biomes with multiple variations: experience carnage on the pond with different settings and during different times of the day.

  • Cute baby axolotls that become playable: pet and care for baby axolotls. Feed them, nurture them and watch them grow! Finally, bring them on your hunting adventures.

  • Fully supported online leaderboards: because highscores only really matter if you can brag about it!

  • 3 extra game modes for some bite-sized action: need a break from the main hunting? Unwind in quick and fun shooting. Test your reflexes in Pond King, Horde and Chrono, available in both single player and up to 4 players co-op!



Fun fact: Did you know Axolotls can regenerate when wounded?
