- Merry & Bright Update - 19 December 2025
Featuring weapon refinements, improved Steam Deck support, and various bug fixes, this turned out to be a surprisingly big update, but it also did take from April through December due to greatly reduced hours in development. Please don't take that as a sign of REVO being less important or updates coming to a close. There are a ton of plans to refine and possibly expand the game, as well as further bug fixes and any reasonable optimizations that can be managed.Steam Deck SupportOne of the more subtle improvements that provides a lot of potential value is the proper integration of the Steamworks API. This was already present in REVO, but it turns out that somewhere along the line I fumbled the libraries specific to Linux, which by extension affects Steam Deck.Once I resolved this, both Steam Deck and Steam for Linux versions of REVO now properly integrates with the Steam client, which I t…
- Glitch Week Update - 1 April 2025
This update is not huge but its timing is important as it brings an extension to a special event more people deserve to experience. It does include one very promising work-in-progress feature upgrade for those trophy hunters among you. Summary: Glitch Day is now Glitch Week! Kill count stats now save long term! Action screenshots can be taken while paused. Display support has been refined. Glitch Event Extended! Have you heard of Glitch Day? In the past, it was a fleeting, single-day event each year where things got turned a bit on their head. To help more people discover and enjoy the madness, the special day has been extended this year into a week-long event. You can now enjoy this special challenge mode through Sunday, April 6. It will be a wacky time in REVO! Is it even playable? Give it a try and let me and other players know about your glitchy experience. Dive into our friendly sp…
- Panoramic Update - 21 October 2024
Enjoy gameplay upgrades and quality of life fixes during the spooky season and beyond. The main focus this round was removing some pain points for new and experienced players alike. Hopefully, you'll have an all around more exciting and fun time! Summary: Better display support for wide and standard screens plus audio fixes. Much more engaging asteroids, drone boss, and some heavy enemies. Ultra Wide Support & Layout Fixes Removed side bars for full panoramic view and adjusted UI layouts for a consistent look across various display ratios. In the process, the support ship dashboard HUD also got a cleaner layout to avoid overlapping items. Looks better on 16:9, 16:10, and 21:9 ratio displays. Boss Upgrade The boss with attack drones now use the attack drones repeatedly throughout the battle, and it is more resilient against the Blackout Device. This might be the best boss fight in the ga…
- Something Went Bump - 11 October 2024
While testing the Halloween event, something went terribly wrong: for some strange reason, the game would hang on the Loading screen. Fortunately, it was an easy fix and there is even now a feature that will prevent the infinite loading process in favor of just closing the game application to desktop. In the future, it would be nice to display a friendly message to players about the specific issue the game detects, but for now, this is a simple way to avoid trapping you in the game. To summarize, the game failed to load during the Spooktober event because of a missing object reference that snuck in during a recent update, and that bug is now squashed and things are back to normal. Enjoy some Spooky REVO all through October!
- Happy Birthday, REVO!!! - 24 August 2024

- Glows, Glitches, & Gameplay Changes - 16 August 2024
This is a big update for REVO intended to ease some difficult aspects for new players, clarify how things work, and generally polish the basic experience for everyone. Gameplay was tweaked, visual communication was enhanced, graphics slightly refined, and more. Summary: Engine and post processing upgrade. Screen glitch effect on player damage. Instant armor repair during battle. No more ship to drop conversion. Bosses drop tech and score differently. Enhanced score adjustment display. Refined level select interface. Miniboss/Irongill adjustment. New ship arrival notification. Fixed errant milestone notification. REVO v1.0.16 Details Engine & Post Processing Upgrade A big engine upgrade led to an overhaul in post processing. Visual polish like neon glows are of nicer quality, but will hopefully feel about the same as before. This is a subtle effect adjustment. Screen Glitch Effect Speaki…
- REVO & Soundtrack Update - 14 June 2024
Quick Summary This is a small update for REVO to improve performance and fix a bug, plus it adds a tiny bit of new content for those who especially enjoy the soundtrack. Small performance improvements. Fixed personal best score display. Full credits now available through main menu. Edited and expanded Special Thanks section. Special new music added for credits. Official soundtrack has a new track! REVO v1.0.15.1 Details Smooth Level Clear Performance at the moment you clear a level used to experience a little speed bump, known as a lag spike, where the game would very noticeably lurch in its activity for a split second. While small, this sort of thing makes the game feel a bit clunky. The end of level lag should now be completely gone as the support ship arrives thanks to some simple code optimizations. Full Credits Access Previously, to see the full credits of the game with all of its…
- Gameplay Stats Test & Various Fixes - 14 March 2024
REVO v1.0.14.1 Enjoy some fixes and an early peek at a new, much requested, feature set. Easter Calculation Easter is hard to calculate, but the Cosmic Egg event will now land accurately around the correct date according to western tradition. Dates were hardcoded for 2023, but going forward will be automatically calculated. This update is being made just in time for the next Cosmic Egg event starting March 26th this year. Gameplay Stats - New! Many requests have been made for the addition of Steam achievements within REVO. In order to accomplish this, the game first needs to have a system for tracking statistics, otherwise achievements can't be calculated. You will now see a new menu item, "Gameplay Stats", on the title screen as well as the pause screen. These stats will accumulate as you play, but they do not yet save long term. This means you can get a taste for it and help me test i…
- Rainbows, Jelly Beans, & Madness - 8 March 2024
This season is stuffed with space rainbows, neon jelly beans, and a little quirkiness. Enjoy weeks of cosmetic overhauls, a festive Easter egg hunt, and a mind bending one-day challenge. Let's take a look at what to expect on the March event train this year. When you boot up REVO from March 12 through 17, you can enable the Lucky Stars event. Defend yourself with the super green clover shield, collect all the glittery gold, and unleash rainbows of pain upon your foes. You'll be able to boot up REVO from March 26 through 31 for the Cosmic Egg event. This one is extra special because it includes an Easter egg hunt and there is a small prize you can keep and use year round if you win. Gotta catch 'em all! Finally, if you time it perfectly and play on the very day that follows Easter this year, you'll be greeted with an in game event so ridiculously twisted, you might at first think it's im…
- Spooky REVO Season - 11 October 2023
REVO seems to be haunted. In fact, the spooky vibes look like they’re going to stick around for the entire month of October. Can you find all the eerie changes? There even appears to be a ghoulish weapon available for a limited time. Enjoy the spooky season with a big helping of neon explosions. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1662790/REVO/
- Play the REVO Demo - Feedback Requested - 20 July 2023
Hey, space friends! REVO just got a demo added to the store page. If you don't have a copy of the game already and want to get a taste of it for free, go check that out! I'm also looking for as much feedback as I can get on the demo experience. I want people to have fun with it and to know exactly what to expect for the full game. So please give it a try and leave me some comments wherever you like. Right here is fine. If you own the full game and want to help with demo feedback (which would be amazing!), then just let me know and I'll get you a copy another way. (Or you can create a second Steam account, but that's not really necessary.) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1662790/REVO/
- Cosmic Egg Hunt - 7 April 2023
Spring into action with a festive new challenge. Through April 9th, REVO features decorated launch capsules and some mysterious neon space eggs to collect. Unlock something sweet to keep if you collect them all. Gotta Catch ‘Em All Hop into the game’s Settings screen to enable the Cosmic Egg event and then just play as you usually would. All play modes and ship selections are fair game. Find as many space eggs as you can while you do battle among the stars. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1662790/REVO/
- Recent Patches - 3 April 2023
I thought some of you might want to know about recent updates on Friday, Saturday, and today. Some very tiny changes were made each time, mostly to correct for a mistake that blocked in game events from running properly. v1.0.10.1 simply updated the name of an event. v1.0.10.2 was an emergency workaround to force the April 1st event, Glitch Day, to be active when it was failing to activate on its own. v1.0.10.3 appears to correct the date comparison issue and restores normal event behavior. Please be sure you have the latest version in order to enjoy the complete intended experience.
- April First Folly - 31 March 2023
For 24-hours only, REVO will turn the game on its head for the first of April. You better be ready for anything this Saturday, but don’t take it too seriously. The joke’s on you if you enable Special Events from the Settings screen, but if you already enjoy a challenge and have a good sense of humor, you’re going to be quite amused. In fact, you might even wish for it to stay this way, but at the stroke of midnight, the nonsense will be put to rest. Livestreams & Laughs Or if you’d like to experience the game vicariously through another poor soul, consider giving one of these long time supporters of REVO a follow and a watch. They’ve expressed interest in bringing REVO back to their stream, possibly this weekend.

- April Ready REVO Patch - 24 March 2023
REVO just received a small update that will affect nothing today save for a fix for a minor bug introduced into boss battles via the last update. However, it gets the game ready for April’s festivities as well as adds a notice on the title screen about upcoming events so you can know when to expect something special to happen in game.
- Lucky Stars & Free Access - 16 March 2023
This is no fool’s gold. REVO just introduced a new in game event. When you boot up from now until the end of March, you can enable the Lucky Stars event.

- Ship Count Fix + Menu Polish, etc. - 26 August 2022
This is just a little update mostly to correct a ship count bug in the HUD. Also includes some nice adjustments to the title screen menu layout as well as the About screen layout.
