: Yes, Bullet’s journey has voiceover and text localizations in English and Spanish. There is text-only localization for French, Italian, German, Russian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, as well as Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

Q: How can I configure the controls?

: On the Steam version of ProtoCorgi the game has its own button configuration menu.

In the Nintendo Switch version of ProtoCorgi the option is not available in-game because of how the platform works. You need to change your buttons in the “Button mapping” options of your console.

Q: How can I change the resolution of the game on the Steam version?

: You can change the resolution and enable fullscreen mode on the video settings of the game.

Q: Does ProtoCorgi has a stage select/training mode?

: After completing a level you will be able to unlock it in the “training room” menu. The stages can be practiced completely or through “sections”.

Q: Can I access my maps from Steam on Nintendo Switch?

: No, each platform has their own online features. This includes: Online Leaderboards, Online Maps and Clouds Saves.

Q: Can you give me more details about the weapons?

: Here is an infographic of every weapon available on ProtoCorgi. This image was based on an original work by Keiichi Satou with his permission. Click on the image for expand it.

Q: How long it takes to beat ProtoCorgi?

: ProtoCorgi is an Arcade style Shoot ’em Up videogame, so you have to take into consideration its difficulty and replay value factor. If you have the skills of a veteran player of the genre, ProtoCorgi might take you a couple of days to finish with constant training. However, we think that for a casual player, Bullet’s adventure could last many hours. We have received reports of players who have not been able to complete it and have been playing for more than 10 hours.

Also please take in consideration that one of the principal goals of a game like this is finish a session without using continues, or the so called “1CC” task. Can you do it?

Q: Can you give me tips about how to unlock secret abilities and the best ending on ProtoCorgi?

: In order to get the best ending you need to unlock every secret ability and don’t defeat any of Bullet’s friends.

If you want more details keep reading, but much of the game will be spoiled and the fun of ProtoCorgi is figuring things out.

PRESS HERE IF YOU WANT THE TIPS/SPOILERS

Unlock the “animal spirit” in Stage 1 by using the explosion bomb in a certain part.
Unlock “absorb” in Stage 2 by activating all the switches.
Spare Nick’s life in Stage 3.
Unlock “stop time” by charging the orb in Stage 3 by absorbing bullets.
Defeat Nick’s parasite in Stage 4 using all your secret abilities (this one is challenging but you can practice it in the training room).
Defeat Nick’s parasite in Stage 5.
Defeat Mastermind in Stage 5.
And remember: if something has a green bar, it is an ally.

Q: The game crashes sometimes when I start the game in Epic

: The crash can be resolved by disabling your integrated GPU (iGPU). We are currently investigating the issue, as there seems to be a problem with the internal OpenGL mode of the Epic Games Launcher GUI renderer (Godot3, the game engine of our game, uses OpenGL). We will continue exploring potential solutions. In the meantime, if you are experiencing random crashes at the game’s intro on Epic, and your laptop has both an AMD iGPU and an NVIDIA dGPU, the temporary fix is to disable the iGPU. Currently, we have only observed this issue on laptops with AMD CPUs of the 5xxxh series and NVIDIA GPUs of the 3xxx series.

Q: I want to play ProtoCorgi in my old CRT.

: Yes, very much, the game supports 4:3 resolutions

Q: I want to play ProtoCorgi on my SteamDeck.

: The game is compatible with SteamDeck.

Q: Will ProtoCorgi be available in other platforms in the future?

: For now we are prioritizing fixing and improving ProtoCorgi on available platforms, so there are no plans to release ProtoCorgi on other platforms any time soon.

Q: Where else will Bullet deliver the latest news and updates?

: There are several ways to get all the latest information about the world’s most heroic Corgi. Excluding our official website, Bullet is a social media fiend and keeps our space crew busy on Facebook and Twitter, as well as on our Discord Channel.

Q: Oh my – this tiny fellow glitched a bit and I found a bug in the demo! How can I help you to squash it?

: We are happy to help – please report your issue on the #support channel on our discord, where our Bullet technicians will be able to see it.

Q: Where can I find a list of all your Steam announcements?

: You can find a list of all our Steam updates here.
