| Update #1: The Omega Files! | 2020-10-11 | Hello spider hunters!

Let’s break it down: Omega Files If you’ve already played KIWF you may have discovered some random manilla folders featuring the omega symbol, the last letter of the Greek alphabet. Well, I hope you remember where you found them because now you can collect and read them to discover the answers to some of the game’s many mysteries. For instance: w |
| Kill It With Fire is now available! | 2020-08-13 | Calling all spider hunters, Our time has finally arrived: Kill It With Fire is now available on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1179210/Kill_It_With_Fire/ It has been a blast building Kill It With Fire and I'm thrilled to be able to share it with the world. If you enjoyed the demos, I suspect you'll love the full game. It has tons more levels, weapons, upgrades, challenges, and most importantly - MORE SPIDERS! Creating Kill It With Fire was an enormous undertaking for me. Since I left my job at Rooster Teeth nearly a year ago I've been working on this game full-time while living off of my savings - including hiring a few key contrac |
| Say Hello To The Developers! | 2020-08-08 | Hello spider hunters! The reckoning approaches - KIWF comes out next Thursday, August 13th. It's been a wild ride making this game. Although I'm the only person working on Kill It With Fire full-time, the game would not be what it is without the help of some very talented friends/accomplices. I thought now might be a great time to look back on everything and call out some of the people who helped along the way. All of these folks have been immortalized into Kill It With Fire as in-game portraits. There, thousands of spiders will crawl over their faces for all eternity. Thanks guys, you're the best! First, let's talk about that music! Kill It |
| Achievements! Less than two weeks! | 2020-07-31 | Hey spider gang! Kill It With Fire comes out in less than two weeks. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! I'm going to be busy making minor improvements, fixing bugs, and doing some performance optimization through next week. It's so, so close to being ready and I can't wait for everyone to see it! So instead of showing more equipment, spiders, or levels I decided to talk about something completely new today: ACHIEVEMENTS! Kill It With Fire will launch on Steam with 24 achievements. Some of them are easy to get, others...not so much. All achievement art was done by Cara Curley (@IDrawCaraLines). She also created all of the equipment icons and the in-game portra |

| Launch Date, New Demo! | 2020-07-13 | Hello exterminators! Today we've got some massive, goliath tarantula sized news: Kill It With Fire is coming to Steam on August 13th 2020! Check out new trailer below: - BUT THAT'S NOT ALL - I'm thrilled to announce Kill It With Fire: HEATWAVE. It's a NEW free demo coming to Steam this Friday, July 17th!

| Web Spider | 2020-07-03 | What's up, exterminators? Did you think I was done introducing spiders? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Enter the Web Spider (and yes, I know that most spiders IRL have webs, but only one type in KIWF does)!!! The Web Spider has a nasty trick up its sleeves (and it's a spider, so it has a lot of sleeves) - it shoots a web at you. If you've ever had a Blooper used on you in Mario Kart, you might notice a similarity. If the web hits your face, it makes it very difficult to see what's going on - providing the web spider and its allies a means of escape. Fortunately for you, not all weapons require precise targeting. For all the latest on Kill It With Fire, join |
| Exploding Spider | 2020-06-26 | What's up, exterminators? If you played Ignition when it first came out, you may recall that spiderlings were originally red, after the first patch, they changed to white. Why? I decided to make an exploding spider and, according to the most hallowed video game traditions, things that explode when you shoot them must be red. So, without further ado - THE EXPLODING SPIDER! How does it work? Simple - kill this spider and (after a short charge-up) it explodes. The explosion can knock stuff around, set stuff on fire, and even kill other spiders! The exploding spider is different from others in one crucial aspect - it is immune to fire. That's rig |
| Queen Spider?!?! | 2020-06-12 | What's up, exterminators? Today, I introduce the most terrifying spider yet. As we all know, most spiders are scary. But even the worst spider was still just one spider - until now. Introducing the Queen Spider. She's big, tough, and when you finally do manage to take her down, a handful of Spiderlings erupt from her corpse. Disgusting! You can also see a bit more of the convenience store level in these GIFs and a new weapon - the frying pan. It's slower than the clipboard but it does a lot more damage, enough to kill even the Queen in one hit. But, you might want to change tactics when facing the Spiderlings that come afterwards. As with mos |
| Slow-Motion Destruction! | 2020-06-05 | What's up, exterminators? Today, I've got TWO things to introduce - some new equipment and the destruction system! First off, the energy drink - chug one of these bad boys and time will slow down - for everything but you, that is. It's perfect for lining up shots on speedy spiders. Why is it green, you ask? Don't worry about it - I'm sure its perfectly healthy. Next, let's talk DESTRUCTION. Lighting things on fire is all well and good, but blasting them apart is where the fun really starts. Spiders all over your dinnerware? Forget the dishwasher - pull out the RPG. No dishes, no problems! For all the latest on Kill It With Fire, join the Disc |
| Level Preview: Gas Station | 2020-05-29 | How do you do, fellow exterminators? The Gas Station: it feels like there's one on every corner. But what else is on every corner? That's right: spiders. Fortunately, you can stop off at the Gas Station to refill on two of the exterminator's most important tools - energy drinks and (you guessed it) gasoline. This level is more than just the parts of the gas station that customers normally see - it also includes an area out back filled with some special (explosive) surprises. For a closer look at the Gas Station, check out this video on Twitter. ːsteamhappyː For all the latest on Kill It With Fire, join the Discord, or follow the game on Twitt |
| Level Preview: Hedge Maze! | 2020-05-22 | Hello spider hunters! Hedge Maze, more like Hedge-AMAZING! It's just you and dozens of spiders, trapped in a maze - what could go wrong?! And just like any good labyrinth it's loaded with secrets and surprises. To gain access to the shrine at the center you must complete puzzles scattered across the maze. Just keep an eye out for nasty surprises while you're searching for the answers... Don't worry too much about getting lost - those hedges look pretty flammable :) The Hedge Maze will be included in the full version of Kill It With Fire, coming later this summer!

| Preview: Jumping Spider | 2020-05-15 | Hello spider hunters! I hope everyone has been pleased with the patch! I know some of you were confused about why the spiderlings changed from red to white, but the explanation is very simple: there are more spiders coming and I decided to make a different one red. Hmm...what else is red...? More on that in the near future! Question: What's worse than a spider? Answer: A hairy spider that jumps at your face. That's right - we've got a jumping spider. Not only does it lunge when discovered, but leaps occasionally while running around. It can also bang into objects as it catapults through the air, wreaking further havoc. Nowhere is safe. When f |
| Patch #1 - Bugs, Balance, Quality of Life Fixes | 2020-05-11 | Hello spider hunters! I've been working on a little patch for KIWF Ignition - nothing too exciting, just some bug fixes, quality of life improvements, and a couple balance tweaks. Here's the full patch notes: User Interface: removed nearly all click and hold buttons, as they were confusing many users. Spiderling: changed color from red to white. Shotgun: increased starting ammo. First Contact: "Burn Stuff" objective items reduced from 50 to 30 First Contact: fixed a bug where a notification for the Nightstand (in the next level) could be seen after defeating 12 spiders. Upgrades: reduced the cost of Protein Shake from 5 to 4; updated its desc |
| Level Preview: Office | 2020-05-08 | Hello spider hunters! First of all, I'd like to give a huge thanks to everyone who has played Kill It With Fire: Ignition. The response has been massive, positive, and honestly a bit overwhelming at times. It's especially exciting to see big names on YouTube playing my itsy-bitsy spider hunting game. If you haven't played it yet, check it out here. While everyone has been busy killing spiders, I've been hard at work creating new types - and building more locations for them to infest. Lockdown got you itching to get out of the house? Well, I've got some good news and some bad news. Here's the good: I bet you can guess the bad news, but I'll te |
