Don't Stop, Girlypop! Releases Steam Demo for Y2K Arena Movement Shooter

Movement increases damage, rewarding constant motion.

Overview

  • The playable demo is live on Steam with wishlist support, and there is no announced release date.
  • The game fuses boomer-shooter intensity with glittery Y2K aesthetics, offering arm cosmetics, gun bows, and a hot-pink flip-phone companion.
  • A combo meter boosts speed and damage for staying in motion, with dashes, dives, jumps, bunny hops, grapples, and wave hopping shaping combat.
  • Previewers praise the stylish presentation and fast, fluid feel, while noting occasional clunkiness and on-screen overwhelm in parts of the demo.
  • The story casts players against Tigris Nix, a mining corporation draining a life force called The Love, across arenas populated by foes like Wasp and Mantis and weapons including a katana.
