Barcelona – [June 30th, 2022] – 2Awesome Studio (2AS) announces that AK-xolotl’s Kickstarter campaign has entered the final 24 hours, after a very successful month of crowdfunding with over 110.000€ pledged and a lot of new in-game features announced.
AK-xolotl’s Kickstarter campaign has had an extremelly successful journey. The game was fully funded within the first 4 hours of the campaign and today, 24 hours away from the campaign's end, it sits at over 750% of the initial goal funded and with eight stretch goals achieved.
The campaign has received a lot of interest from the general audience and industry people alike, with several viral social media posts and news outlet coverage. (Nintendo Life article, Nuclear Throne Developer shoutout, Archvale Developer shoutout, Revita Developer shoutout).
As the campaign reaches its end, closed beta for Kickstarter backers will begin very soon, with the full release of the game set for early 2023.
Current list of new in-game features coming to AK-xolotl thanks to the successful Kickstarter campaign:
In-game pets: small and friendly critters that follow you around, with a lot of different designs and fully unlocked by playing, no external transactions required.
Boss Rush mode: jump straight into action against waves of stronger and deadlier versions of AK-xolotl's bosses. A challenge for the bravest axolotls!
Daily Run: seeded runs that will reset everyday. Each run will have different conditions and players will be able to compete in the daily leaderboard.
In-game hats: transform your axolotl into a true fashionista and customize it with different hats, with tons of options to choose from.
Fishing mechanic: some areas in-game will allow you to fish. While fishing, you will have a chance of getting meat, guns, items, an exclusive baby axolotl or…nothing at all!
“The Menu”: a bestiary where you can learn more about your prey. You will be able to see all the delicious options for your Axolotl’s meal, while also learning some very useful information about each one of them.
"Second Dinner" aka New Game+: finished your run? If your axolotl (or yourself) is still hungry for more, you can go for a "Second Dinner" — starting a new run, New Game+ style, keeping all your power-ups and upgrades but fancing deadlier and stronger enemies! You can repeat this process indefinitely: how many dinners do you think you will last?
Alternate Biome: a brand new biome for the Axolotl to explore. You will have the option of taking two different paths after completing the first biome. This way the variety in replayability will not only be tied to different weapons and items but also to a change of scenery!
Aside from the already achieved stretch goals, there's two other that have been announced: Alternate Bosses at 125.000€ and Co-op Campaign at 150.000€.
