ThrustX

Start as Santa. Unlock a pig, a cop and more. Beat each other senseless in a chaotic 2.5D brawler, with proximity chat, so you can hear them suffer. New fighters every season with a free season pass. Best of five. May the most unhinged player win.

ThrustX Launches on Steam After Two Years of Development

ThrustX (AppID 4245500) is now available on Steam, marking the end of a two-year development effort by its author, Zav.

What changed

  • The game has launched and is available for purchase
  • Standard price is $2.99
  • A 16% launch discount brings it to $2.50, active for 7 days from release
  • A Discord server is open for support, bug reports, and feature suggestions

The announcement is brief and personal in tone — Zav frames the release as the completion of a long-held ambition rather than a commercial rollout. No details about genre, gameplay, or platform features appear in the source material.

For players curious enough to take a chance, the discount window is the immediate consideration; after seven days, the price returns to its standard rate.
