Patch 5 - Quality of life
Localization newsMost of the work this time has been done on the system background for localization. While the game has been ready for translations since the beginning, it needed some cleanup and finishing touches. Soon I'll be adding the translations and rolling everything out - in total the game will support 11 languages soon!ImprovementsBut that's not all, I've been improving the game with more feedback. Noteable mentions are two main things.Shader customizations - this allowed me to improve the quality separately between the upgrades screen and the map. The text is now more readable on the upgrades screen and can be made even more! The classic (the default) mode is now much better. But that's not all, I've already been testing some approaches to make bigger changes, stay tuned for the future updates to see more.Second noteable change is for those of you with two button mouses, or...

Improved tutorial experienceWIth this update I'm addressing the confusion about how to use skills, despite the ? buttons informing you how to do it scattered everywhere, it was not clear enough (especially for all of you who never checked the info ;-)). Now there's a quick tutorial popup with how to use the skill, right at the moment when you should need it!Also the skills now have only one way to be used and that's the Middle Mouse Button!So forget the right click and then confirming with left click which made it confusing for some. Also gone are the times you accidentally triggered a skill when panning around (right mouse) and quickly palcing down a node with the left mouse button.New graphical settings picker when you start the game! This will show up just once - don't worry. It informs you about the graphical settings - added in the previous update - which many people missed.Also...
Read full update on Steam ↗Patch 3 - Customize the screen effects - vignette, scan lines, and more!
New graphical settings to customize your experience! Vignette, scan lines, glow, chromatic aberration are now all customizable in the Settings, go check it out and enjoy yourself!Bug fixes.Small balance improvements.

Patch 2 19.11.2025Many smaller improvements and fixes again.Major changes:- Saving reworked, not it's a lot safer to make changes thus there's no longer a need to wipe the save data.Major bugfixes:- The ugprades tree no longer shows unupgraded nodes accidentally.Major balance changes:- Laser cost lowered 2 -> 1. Players can now choose between the laser, pulse, or heal skill as their first early on.
Read full update on Steam ↗Patch 1
Patch 1 18.11.2025First two big updates are already locked in.Many smaller improvements and fixes.Major bugfixes:- Re-entering the Upgrades scene no longer repeatedly triggers the enemy progression (no more hundreds of score points everywhere for anyone until you actually progress far enough ;))Major balance changes:- I've been rebalancing a lot of things.- It's now easier to beat the first boss and progress.- It's now easier and faster to beat the first three stages.- Enemy shooters nerfed across the board - less often spawn, shoot slower, less damage, less health.- AllieShooters are now more impactful - default shoot more often, the first ten attack speed upgrades now do not require X currency, only triangles making it more affordable even early on.- The progression was changed, now EnemyShooters are on the stage 3 and the extra red wave is on stage 2. This means you have more time...
