  The Power of 9: Janosik 2’s First Month

  Hey Adventurers! We hope you all had a chance to rest over the winter break and cranked the party meter up for New Year’s! Here’s to unforgettable gaming moments, epic adventures that would make Janosik himself proud, and a fantastic 2025. As we reflect on the first month since Janosik 2 launched, one thing is clear - the number 9 has been our lucky charm. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40648059/308003a1630280d2d811346b934f316ce216c2a2.png It all started with our release on December 9th. Since then, we’ve been thrilled to see a 95% positive review score from players. The cherry on top? GameGrin’s Dylan Pamintuan surprised us with a glowing 9.5/10 review - what a way to kick things off! But the biggest "9" came just before we wrapped 2024… Just two days after launch, Janosik 2 was nominated for the Indie of the Year Award on IndieDB, standing tall alongside 99 other incredible indie games, including the Game of the Year nominee, Balatro. We were beyond happy to be considered for the award so soon after launch, but when the final results came in, our excitement reached new heights: Janosik 2 was crowned the 9th best indie game of 2024! Legends say Janosik’s strength came from his giant ancestry, but to find ourselves among the giants of the indie gaming world is an entirely different kind of achievement. A huge thank you to everyone who voted for us in the Indie of the Year Awards. We wouldn’t be here without you. Let’s make 2025 the year of legendary Highlander adventures with Janosik 2!

  Janosik 2 is OUT NOW!

  Hey everyone! The Wait is Over: Janosik 2 is Here! After three years of hard work Janosik 2 has officially launched! As the developer, I’m filled with a mix of excitement, anticipation, and a touch of anxiety. This game has been such a huge part of my life, and I can’t wait to see what you think about this next chapter in Janosik’s adventures. My goal has always been to make this sequel bigger, better, and even more immersive than the original Janosik. So, you're probably wondering what will you find in Janosik 2... Well, obviously, there is a brand-new adventure, featuring werewolves, vampires, and a mission for Janosik to rescue Janka - his girlfriend. From there, the journey takes some unexpected twists. I've created 50 levels packed with deadly enemies and thrilling challenges to keep you on your toes. If you played the first game, you’ll bump into some familiar faces, like the witch and Jan the Inventor, but there’s so much new to discover: new NPCs, deadlier enemies, helpful merchants, and...new playable characters! That's right - Janosik won't face this adventure alone. He will be joined by three new playable characters: Bogdan, Janka, and Hugo. Each of them brings unique abilities that will alter the way you approach the game. I've also prepared a wide range of upgrades to go along with new characters - from weapons and movement abilities to special powers like freezing or electrifying enemies. Today, the world of Janosik 2 is ready for you to explore. I can’t wait to see how you tackle its challenges, uncover its secrets, and interact with all the characters. Here’s to a journey full of excitement, surprises, and most importantly - fun! Jump in, and make Janosik 2 an adventure to remember!
