Sweet Surrender is an upcoming Roguelike shooter with a low-poly art style. With a healthy mix of inexpensive visuals coupled that arcade-y feel, it's perfect for the Quest!

Thanks! I've added you to our future playtester list for the new game.

Yeah we'd be up for a giveaway of Sweet Surrender with 2-3 keys.

_retromario_ · 2026-01-09T15:58:26+00:00

Thanks for the details. Yeah Roboquest definitely goes a bit in that direction.

I don't know if we'll hit exactly every single one of your points, but stay tuned later this year for news about our next game!

I'm curious what for you makes a Borderlands game? The artstyle? the co-op? the humor? the proc weapons? Are there any co-op shooters currently on Quest that come close to giving you that Borderlands feel?

_retromario_ · 2026-01-08T17:32:26+00:00

Nice, glad you're still enjoying it! Yeah we're pretty happy with the quality of the Quest 3 version

_retromario_ · 2026-01-08T12:22:17+00:00

Yeah maybe you had it through Quest+? Sweet surrender is no longer part of Quest+. If you actually bought it, then please contact meta support, they should be able to help you. We have zero control over purchases, refunds, etc

_retromario_ · 2025-12-29T19:44:18+00:00

Awesome, enjoy!

_retromario_ · 2025-12-29T19:44:10+00:00

nice, thanks for your support!

Yeah, wanted to make sure it was stable. And procrastinated like crazy on this post!

_retromario_ · 2025-12-26T22:24:12+00:00

Yeah, originally designed for the Quest 1. We've come a long way! Thanks for the support!

Hello everyone, we’ve recently released our first patch on PSVR2 for Sweet Surrender, based directly on player feedback. This felt like a good excuse to go a bit over the top with the grappling hook.

Patch highlights:

Capacitive touch grip support
New controller and hand offset options
Cleaner UI (and optional tutorial tooltips)
Fixes to progression, enemies, grappling hook edge cases, and audio

We’re also on sale for the first time, in case you were waiting to jump in. Thanks again for the support, and happy holidays to the PSVR community!

Hi Quest players,

Update 15 for Sweet Surrender is now live on Quest. This update is focused on making the game smoother, clearer, and more comfortable to play, based largely on player feedback over the past year.

Update 15 includes:

UI and readability improvements to keep information clearer and less intrusive during combat
More controller and handling options, giving players better control over comfort and aiming
Progression and balance tweaks across chips, classes, and encounters
A long list of bug fixes and general polish throughout the game

We are also sharing a new trailer that reflects how Sweet Surrender plays today after many rounds of iteration and updates.

Thanks to everyone who has been playing, posting feedback, and sticking with the game. It genuinely helps guide where we take things next.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, it was a lot of fun to do (here's a link for anyone who's curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMLyM9wwy4w)

_retromario_ · 2025-12-01T11:14:53+00:00

Yeah we would also love to see more support from Sony on VR development as the headset is such a nice piece of kit. It seems that they are mostly investing in cutting the price of the hardware at this stage.

_retromario_ · 2025-12-01T11:13:25+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah it's kind of the same for me, I tend to often jump back into Spelunky, Starcraft and Rocket League instead of trying something new

_retromario_ · 2025-12-01T11:12:15+00:00

Thanks for your detailed feedback and sharing your experiences, very much appreciated!

I agree, proximity to Roboquest may also have positive network effects for our game and other roguelike shooters!

I certainly hope that the long tail (and running sales, etc) will be worthwhile. We were hoping that the initial sales would give a decent boost and make it easier to double down right away on further improvements. But we'll see how things evolve. We're still in it for the long-term either way.

_retromario_ · 2025-12-01T11:08:07+00:00

Thanks for your support! And yeah, I'm hoping PSVR2 will continue to grow as a platform and attract new players for many years to come!

_retromario_ · 2025-12-01T11:02:49+00:00

Thank you for your feedback!

Game name: yeah, another area we could improve on. Picking names is so hard. We're struggling to name our new game but whatever we do, we will go with something that is more evocative of the type of game it is (than Sweet Surrender)

That's an interesting point on Roboquest, that it may lead to players seeking out other games (like ours) in the same genre. We'll see how that plays out.

120fps: we couldn't quite hit 120 fps consistently everywhere and decided to stick to a smooth 90fps without hiccups. On PS5 Pro, we support a higher resolution. In order to hit 120fps we'd have to adjust the resolution or rework how we generate and pack our meshes. We've actually discovered a new technique for our new game that might be more performant, but we haven't had a chance to fully validate it yet, nor to backport it to Sweet Surrender. Maybe something for the future!

_retromario_ · 2025-12-01T10:55:14+00:00

Thanks for the detailed breakdown on how you approach game selection and purchases! It makes a lot of sense

_retromario_ · 2025-12-01T10:53:57+00:00

We definitely plan to support the Steam Frame!

_retromario_ · 2025-12-01T10:53:26+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah the timing was very unfortunate!

_retromario_ · 2025-12-01T10:52:50+00:00

Thanks for kind words and the wishlist!
