Hi! I'm Victoria, director and creator of Breakout Epilepsia. On behalf of the entire team behind the game, I want to say a huge thank you for all your support.
This project has exceeded all our expectations:
✨ Over 15,000 player activations 🌟 More than 50 Steam reviews 🌍 Selected for both national and international showcases, steam sales and showrooms
🎭 What Happened at the Festival Lúdico de Morelia
On July 26 and 27, we had the opportunity to present Breakout Epilepsia at the Festival Lúdico de Morelia, where we got to see players of all ages enjoying the game. We handed out waifu stickers and posters, and most importantly, we witnessed people laughing, getting frustrated, cheering—and trying again until they succeeded.
Some heartwarming moments:
A father playing alongside his child
A long-time gamer reaching the Luna boss and telling us she’s been playing since she was a kid
Boys and girls yelling in frustration, but refusing to give up
Couples having fun watching each other play, celebrating victories and defeats
Even event staff stopping their duties just to try the game 😅
People gave us amazing feedback, some comparing the game to classics like Atari or beloved indies like Undertale. It was truly inspiring—and a reminder of why we make games.
🛠️ Patch Notes — Version 2.1.0
