Evaluation

HitBox launched on January 30, 2017 as a competitive multiplayer shooter. On September 21, 2017, the developers posted a direct statement confirming that both team members had moved on to full-time jobs and school, and that they were discussing future projects — effectively communicating that development on HitBox had concluded. As part of this announcement, they made the game free to play. There have been no further developer communications since that post. No additional content, DLC, or updates have been announced or shipped after this point. The game is complete as it was at the time of that final developer statement.

Evidence

Developers announced both are now occupied with full-time jobs and school, signaling the end of HitBox development. The game was made free as part of this announcement.

About this game

Hitbox centers around fast, slick shooting. With all unnecessary distractions removed, we've focused on the core gameplay of moving and shooting. Position yourself nicely, practice your aim, and improve your reflexes to excel. A friendly and inviting style makes it approachable and easy to learn but experienced players will find it hard to master. Our stylish and colourful graphics help ensure the game runs smoothly on many different computers so your experience never drops frames and the gameplay stays on top.

With online, local and split screen multiplayer we've made sure you can play with whoever you want. When you need a bit of practice before going against real players we have bots to fill games with so you can hone your skills or just get a feel for a new map.

Four different classes distill different play styles of the game. You can be a careful sharpshooter, or a mad gunman running around and confusing the enemy. Each class wants to counter another and choosing the right class will always give you an upper hand in a fight. The Tactician can blow your enemies away with his shotgun, while the fast firing Flanker than can get up close and personal and unload lots of bullets. The Marksman is the man of accuracy, a tough class to play but can deal devastating amount of damage. The Trooper is the jack of all trades, able to fit into many situations, but might not be ideal when pressured.
