Creator Terri Vellmann and publisher Devolver Digital have been pushing through the neon chambers of Heavy Bullets since it first hit Steam Early Access back in May. Today, the publisher announced that the game is ready to come out of beta and officially release this coming Thursday, September 18.

Heavy Bullets takes place along a multi-colored world, with the idea to reach a central security mainframe. Malfunctioning security drones and other enemies stand in your way and you only have six oversized bullets to stop them with. Permadeath means you'll be dying a lot, but you'll be able to bank any cash you've collected. Vellman has updated the game with tweaked AI, gamepad support, new music, and more since the game first hit beta.

If you're looking to get into Heavy Bullets before its official Thursday release, you can grab it right now on Steam Early Access. For more, you can watch the trailer below.
