The main feature of the game is full integration with everyday computer work. While the user is working in a browser, typing in a document, or programming, the character in a compact window repels enemy attacks. The mechanics are tied to system input: any mouse click or keystroke anywhere on the screen is simultaneously a combat shot and gives one cartridge, which acts as in-game currency.
According to the author, the project has grown significantly over the six months of development. The game has received a headquarters with talents, contracts, support for drones for delivering loot, shelters, over 40 weapons with 6 levels of rarity, and 20 different biomes. The developer used generative AI tools to help with the code and basic visual drafts, but all the final graphic assets, balance, and game design were finalized manually.
Immediately after the release, the author released patch v1.0.1, in which he adjusted the difficulty of the bosses, added an autorun option with Windows, new inventory sorting features, and the ability to move the window between multiple monitors.
Fire. Hold. Repeat. is currently available on Steam for UAH 217, and a macOS version is planned for release in future updates.
