You Are The Missile: Strikemania Blasts Onto Steam Early 2027
Solo developer Michaël Jacquet and Belgian publisher AlterEyes today announced Strikemania, Jacquet’s debut game: a fast-paced retro arcade time-attack game coming to Steam in Q1 2027.
NO NEED TO WAIT
Players won’t have to wait until 2027 to get behind the missile. Closed playtesting begins in November 2026, with registration open now on Steam. A public demo is also planned for Steam Next Fest in February 2027.
ONE MISSILE ISN’T ALWAYS ENOUGH
On some levels, rewind time and launch additional missiles alongside your previous ones, coordinating their attacks to break through obstacles and overwhelm defenses.
Multiple missiles. One perfectly coordinated strike.
Blast through obstacle-filled routes, squeeze through tight gaps, destroy defenses and reach your target before time runs out. Every attempt is short, every restart is instant, and mastering a level means finding the perfect combination of angle, timing and momentum.
CREATE YOUR OWN CHAOS
Chase personal bests and compete on global leaderboards, or create your own missile gauntlets with the built-in level editor. Design precision obstacle courses, elaborate chains of destruction, or routes that look completely impossible… then prove they aren’t!
