From Press Release:

August 19, 2026 | Codebrew Software is excited to announce that Sublight, a space bullet heaven roguelike where arcade survival meets space-sim depth, is heading into Early Access on September 15th.

Captain a powerful warship, place your turrets, manage firing arcs, and carve through escalating waves of enemies as you build out an arsenal capable of dominating an entire sector. Since its last major update one month ago, players have racked up over 14.3 million kills in the demo alone.

Previewing the demo, GamingOnLinux called it ‘pretty glorious,’ highlighting the game’s space combat setting combined with bullet heaven mechanics.
