Ok, its been 4 months. And now there is a STEAM DLC for it? And it Base Game is not even out! And the description is acting like its been out!!!
Whats going on? For real!!!
Haha, thanks for the concern. The game will be released any day now! We've added lots of extra stuff to the original plans and polished it way more than we originally thought we would. Im looking forward to the release.
Oh and it has only been 10 weeks. Not even 3 months yet. Hopefully we'll get to the finish line before the 3 month mark!
Ok, its been 2 MONTHS since NOV 30, how are you still sick?
im not sick anymore! Working hard on releasing it. Its going to launch in January for sure! Sorry about the delay
its PAST Nov 30, whats up?
got very sick, still have a few things to polish up. It will be released very soon. Thanks for the support!
Ok, hope u feel better!
Spoiler ALERT:
Charles is in The Abandoned Wax Museum Chapter 2!!!
Dead link
New Link: The Abandoned Wax Museum by AxolotlGuy (itch.io)
Charles, may or may not, be in The Abandoned Wax Museum, SOON
POOR UNFOURTANAT SOULS
spoiler!
Sorry, but its obvi that I will look in the files. I might make a mod based on The Abandoned Wax Museum, or/and Choose What Happens next, both of my creations
Yeah, i expect people to look in there, but not neccesarily post the contents for all to see! :P
No harm done
I played 1.9 the SECOND it released!!!
Whats up with this?
Everyone else is wearing clothes! So now charles is wearing clothes :D
I might make a mod based on Choose what happens next.
Preview for my upcoming mod:
Charles vs. Pickle? :P
Its a Shoot the Zombies Remastered mod...
Its a zombie, not a pickle, at least play the game (Demo if ur broke) to understand.
Its not a pickle...
1000 apologies! I haven't had a chance to play all of your games yet, ill get around to it!
I finally came around to playing it! This is where i stopped because i think i've seen everything the demo has to offer. Now i know the zombies and how to kill them :D
Fun fact: There are more zombie types in the full version, and they have their own unique death screens, here are some screenshots:
I gave you a free copy, so, happy modding!!! (If you decide to mod, of course)
you can upload the charts to construct 3 and edit them!!!!!!!
Check Out my new mod: https://axolotlguy1321.itch.io/charles-cubey-mod
Can you make the source file (.c3p) available for download? It would make modding 10x Easier.
You think I should mod Cubey from Cubey The Cube to replace charles, or someone else?
Think I can do better?
Do you think i should display the theoretical maximum score beside your highscore?
sure!!!
IM IN THE SPECIAL THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You think you could add a freeplay menu where you can select the songs. (And make it unlockable)?
Yup! We have an arcade mode in progress. You can select any song and replay it. There is also a score chaser mode where the song loops and gets faster

Why is the first song glitched? (It has one note)
This might happen if you alt tab and tab back in? Not sure! If you restart is it still broken?
Yes
Can you let me know if you're playing in the web browser or the downloaded version? Also, if its the web browser, which browser are you using?
Downloaded version, but I tried bowser and its the same, I use Microsoft edge.
I dont know what is happening in your case but ill keep a look out
I found the issue, i will upload a fixed version now
I found this in the files. Prolly the girlfriend that was talked about on the steam page.
Just played Version 2, I LOVED IT!!! This has got to be one of the best Rythm games I have ever played!!! I am so HYPED for the steam release!!!!
Is it ok If I use the characters as a DLC for Shoot the Zombies REMASTERED?
Sure!
I made a mod
Download: Blue Charles
Awesome mod! I played the whole game with the mod enabled, so cool to see someone elses' ideas :D I can't wait to see what else you manage to make. By the way, we're still working on Charles and more updates are coming soon. With an eventual steam release https://store.steampowered.com/app/2485090/Charles_the_Bee/?curator_clanid=47772...
Thanks!!!
Edit: Think you can give me ideas for another mod I should make???
Awesome game! Fun to play and really liked it! if you want to make it into a full game, it would nice if it had a story tied to it. Or what about other mini games like a shooting rail game!
Thanks so much for playing! And thank you for leaving some feedback as well. It was a pleasure chatting to you on Twitch regarding how we can make the game better :)
Made a video
