About this game
Punch through the cosmos!
Lobstar: Arcade Version is a shoot-em-up where you cannot shoot bullets. Instead, you can punch those bullets back at foes--or get in the enemy's face and punch them yourself!
Punch Past it All! Punch bullets to deflect them. They will automatically fly at the nearest enemy. You can also defeat most enemies in one punch!
Shine Bright with Star Time: Perform a Lobster Roll to evade an attack with good timing to enable Star Time. You cannot take damage during Star Time, so go crazy!
Lobstars Never Die: Cosmic lobster "The Lobstar" is immortal and cannot die. Getting hit will push it back, but this will not deter it from its destination. While anyone can clear the game, the credits won't roll for just anyone.
Shoot for the Stars: Go for a high score or a fast clear time with the in-game ranking and timer functions! Crazy-quick crustaceans may even catch up with the edge of the universe itself...

Release date set for 2026
As foreshadowed in the previous announcement, the release date for Lobstar: Arcade Version has indeed been moved and set to next year's National Lobster Day.The goal of this project is to make something I'm personally satisfied with, and my development pace behind the scenes has shifted drastically over the last few months. Thus, a couple more months beyond September 2025 are needed to hit my personal minimum bar for release. I would like this game to come out on September 25 specifically for thematic and memetic reasons, so that means a one year delay.Rest assured, it'll still be released for free.Thanks for reading,Lobstar DevRead full article on Community Announcements (bluekkachi-dev)AnnouncementsOfficial
