  • Patch Notes (v1.9.76) - 5 December 2025

    Hi there, this is a bit akward but like a year ago I fixed a notable bug and pushed it to the beta branch, but then never set it live. So I'm finally doing that. However, when I went to do that I saw that I also didn't set the previous version live ... nor the version before that.So, to be honest ... right after the big Boss Rush update I made some small fixes and balance tweaks, but then I only ever pushed them to the beta branch, and never put them live (???). So they've just been sitting there for over two years (!) ... where does the time go ...Anyway, it's akward pushing an update that tweaks balance so randomly, but the bugfixes really need to go live, so enjoy this grab bag of fixes and tweaks. I trust "me from 2 years ago" to certainly have had some reason for them.Features:Added speedrun timer (find it in the Miscellaneous settings)Bugfixes:Changed star time for Boss Rush C in…

  • Boss Rush Update (v1.9.63) - 25 September 2023

    Hi Everyone! First off: the game will be 20% OFF during Steam SHMUP Fest! Roto Force admittedly only very loosely fits the definition of a SHMUP, but until Steam creates the "Rotating Arena Bullet Hell Run 'n' Gun" Fest, this will do just fine. This update is meant to smooth out the difficulty curve for first time players, as well as giving veterans something to chew on. Some of the bosses proved to be a bit of a too steep step up in difficulty than they were intended to. So they have been made just a bit less ferocious to bring them more in line with the difficulty curve of the rest of the game. Don't worry that this will make it too easy, as a Boss Rush mode has been added for anyone that has beaten the game already. Which tasks you to beat a series of bosses or minibosses one after another, without checkpoints, only getting 1 hp back between bossfights. As well as an unlockable even…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $2.79
  • Highest observed: $2.79

Roto Force's USD price history spans from Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $2.79, the highest is $2.79, and the first visible tracked price is $2.79. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 1
  • Discounted days: 1 day
  • Deepest markdown: -65%
  • Latest sale window: Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026

SteamPulse has grouped rows carrying discount metadata into 1 recorded discount window, covering 1 calendar day and 1 discounted snapshot. The deepest recorded markdown is -65%, with a lowest recorded final price of $2.79 during rows named Steam sale. The latest recorded window starts Oct 6, 2026 and ends Oct 6, 2026, spanning 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking. Window boundaries follow the available snapshots, so gaps in coverage can make an actual sale shorter or longer than the recorded span.

Recorded sale names include Steam sale. The table reports the observed markdown, final price, snapshot dates, and any sale name supplied with the row. It can show whether similar discounts recur in the retained record, but it does not infer publisher intent, demand, or the reason a price changed.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $2.79, from Oct 6, 2026 through Oct 6, 2026. The latest run records $2.79 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking with a listed discount from $7.99. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $2.79
  • Current list price: $7.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Roto Force at $2.79 in USD, with a listed base price of $7.99 and a -65% markdown. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
