- Fixed tower complete achievement - 1 June 2021
Tower complete achievement was broken :o( It is now fixed :o) Following the addition of the Hard versions of the levels the logic for finishing the tower and awarding the achievement had become out dated.
- Fixed wrecking ball achievement - 24 May 2021
It was no longer possible to get the wrecking ball achievement. The game has been updated to make it possible again.
- Reduced default quality settings - 13 May 2021
Based on feedback we have reduced the default quality settings to not include volumetric lighting. Automatic configuring of quality didn't manage to correctly set quality on all hardware, potentially leaving it set on a high default. Reducing the default will hopefully help mitigate this issue.
- Fixed Chinese Language Bug - 17 April 2021
Fixed an issue with the game not automatically switching to Chinese due to a mismatch between what the localisation system expected the language to be called and what the operating system reported. It should now work as expected. Language selection now also queries the operating system every time the game launches rather than just the first time it runs. https://www.correctuniverse.com/BlocksplodeChinese.jpg
- Network fixes - 14 April 2021
Improved network room handling.

- Explosive Developer update! - 17 March 2021
What a blast March has been so far! We’ve been working on some explosive developments since Blocksplode’s Demo debuted in Steam’s February Games Festival last month and have a lot of exciting news to share with you. The background graphics have now been reworked with a focus on changing the original floating islands! The background rock geometry and materials have been modified so they now match perfectly with the cleaner look of the blocks and pool area. We’ve added to the visual interest with the addition of rounded grass mounds, blocky trees, smaller rocks, grass tufts and flowers. We’re now eager to start working on a brand new desert island background that will liven up select levels and turn up the heat! Stay tuned… Till next time! Nick The North Star Games Team
