We've got some news about the shoot 'em up by 3.5 Inch Team, published by Ankama Games. After being released on the Ankama Launcher and taking part in the Steam Next Fest, Super Nano Blaster is finally entering the big league. Now, fans of the genre will be able to explore this digital retro universe at the helms of their ships on Steam, the online content distribution platform.

 
Roubaix, April 25, 2022: Tuesday, May 3. The date has been set for the launch of Super Nano Blaster on Steam. After first experiencing this assertively retro universe through a demo at the Steam Next Fest, players will be able to continue their space-technology adventures directly on Steam.


This extra step for the vertical shoot 'em up gave us the chance to make a few improvements. Notable new features include a mirror effect that replaces the black strips on both sides of the screen, and most importantly, a brand-new ship.

To enrich the game's shoot 'em up action-oriented gameplay, its Steam version will offer many achievements to unlock and challenges to complete.


Super Nano Blaster is a single and multiplayer shoot 'em up for PC and Mac that immerses players in an old-school adventure – one that is deep inside technology, no less – where skill and speed might just save them from certain death. At the helm of ships with multiple abilities, they must react quickly to blow the waves of opponents invading the screen to smithereens.
 

 
Super Nano Blaster will be available on Steam at a launch price of €7.90 instead of €9.90.
