Evaluation

Heal & Hurt launched into full release on February 24, 2023, graduating from Early Access with a final update that added a new map and various fixes. The developer explicitly noted at launch: "we hope to see you all enjoy our future games" — signaling that the team's attention was already moving on. That shift was confirmed on September 1, 2023, when Normogames posted that they had been focused on developing their next title, The Riflemen, and that it had now released. The post was framed as a farewell acknowledgment to Heal & Hurt players, offering them a themed in-game item in the new game as a thank-you. There have been no developer communications about Heal & Hurt since that September 2023 post. The only post-1.0 update was a small patch on March 15, 2023 (Patch 1.2), which added a match length option and fixed a bug. No further updates, roadmaps, or content announcements have followed. The single released DLC is a cosmetic Supporter Pack that came out before the game even left Early Access. No unreleased DLC exists on the store. The developer has effectively concluded work on Heal & Hurt and moved on to a new project. The game shipped as a complete arena shooter and is finished.
Evidence

About this game



Heal & Hurt is a fast-paced old school arena shooter where you switch sides from angel to skeleton and vice versa every time you die! Both characters have unique abilities that you can use to outclass your opponents. You should also pay attention to damage types as you can either heal or hurt your enemies (and yourself!)



There two different gamemodes to choose from."Deathmatch" is the normal mode where you must eliminate your opponents in order to win! The other mode is called "Hold the Crown" where you and the others will compete for the crown that will give you score.

When playing as an angel, you can fly through the skies and take out your opponents from high ground! You should also notice that when diving underwater you will eventually drown if you don't remember to get some fresh air.

As a skeleton you can take advantage and slide to avoid enemies firing. Skeletons are also keen in diving as they won't drown underwater, they can also pass through the bony walls found in the maps.

When playing as either of the characters the visuals of the surrounding world will change. Both characters can also use teleports to get fast from location to another!
