Hello everyone,
I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of Alien Blitz (Android, full version) & Snorms 2.0 (PC).
Snorms is a top-view & isometric shooter with lots of weapons, maps and monsters. You play a soldier resting on his native island, but it is quickly overrun by monsters from outer space and no outside help is available. You put on your armor, take your shotgun and go to find out what happened at the peril of your life.
Alien Blitz is a port of Snorms on Android (top-view only), it is available for free for all Desura users that purchased Snorms.
Snorms has been ported to Android, it has all the same features as the PC version, except it is limited to the top-view for now (for performance reasons).
If you have bought the PC version on Desura, you will get the full Android version for free! (click the connect button on the game page)
A top-view is now available, for low end PC or if you have trouble controlling the character with isometric view. It looks almost exactly the same as the Android version.
Snorms can now be played with a gamepad if you want to, you can forget mouse & keyboard, and play the whole game with your gamepad!
100+ achievements have been added to the game, those includes: speedrunning, finding game references/secrets, getting 100% completion,...
The demo version has been updated, it now features the whole episode 1 instead of just one level. With 6 weapons, 13 maps, and lots of monsters!
New UI, new graphical engine, new end-of-level screen, new difficulty settings, easier gameplay, reviewed maps, new player sprite, performance improvements,....
A lot more has changed, check full changelog for more information
Compatibility with previous version save files has been kept, but due to balance changes it is best to remove old save files ($HOME/.config/snorms under linux, US;ERPROFILE%\.snorms under Windows)
You can download Snorms (Windows/Linux/Mac) on Desura, Click here
When purchasing Snorms on Desura you will get the Android version for free (just click the Connect button on the game page)! Or just browse the Google Play Store to get it :)

Haedri, I tried Alien Blitz, and it is just as awesome as Snorms! However, there are a few things:
-A few typos in the game make it look a bit less professional (for example, capitalization, or wrong spelling)
-Could the move pad be a bit bigger? On my smartphone it is really small and it is annoying when you slide off it and suddenly stop walking.
Again, love this game, keep it up!
Thanks :)
- I've corrected a few typos on Snorms recently, they haven't been applied on Alien Blitz yet, I will look into it
- I think I will add an option to change control size, it might work better and won't be too much work I guess (on my 7" tablet they are a bit too big ^^)
Thanks for the report !
I really like the game :)
I have just submitted Snorms on Greenlight
Feel free to take a look :)
Steamcommunity.com
There will be an important update in a few weeks (if everything's fine), in order to add Top view support and lots of optimizations.
Why ? because I have implemented this for the Android version called "Alien Blitz" :)
Play.google.com
You can try it, it's free (with ads) :)
An ad-free version will also be made and I will see if I can generate keys or give the APK for users that bought Snorms on Desura.
Heu, you messed up the mac and windows versions, it seems.
Hehe indeed :) it's corrected
Thanks for reporting, I didn't even see it
I am having a great time with this game. It's raily fun.
But I can't figure out how to get some weapons, like the minigun in chaper 2 or the one in the hidden sector (the one with the Vile enemies) of chaper 1. The game says at the end of the level that I got a new weapon or blueprint, but when I go into the armory, there is no new weapon whatsoever.
There is a small "bug" due to the fact that I changed the way to get the minigun in the last version of the game, it can now be found on the "normal" route, at the same place where you get the missile launcher (e01m06, after the mini boss fight)
But I left it in the old places (secret level and episode2) for compatibility reasons, that's why you will still see the text saying you found it.
Now the secret level is only used to unlock hard mode.
So basically, if you have the missile launcher, then you should have the minigun... but the bug is it is called "Uzi" in the armory not "Mini gun". So you should have it under that name, if not I must investigate more :)
I've corrected the bad text and removed references to mini gun/uzi in the secret level. It will be available in next release, thanks for reporting that !
Sorry for the late answer
That's strange, I had no problems on my tests computers, could you give me a little more details on what happens ?
- Do you have a black screen with an error message ? If so could you press enter on that screen so that It sends me a bug report automatically
- What is your OS ? Windows/Linux/Mac ?
I ran into some very random problems with some library I used, I'll try to update them on next release, maybe it's a lot more frequent on some configurations
