General You can now reinstall weapons destroyed by Specializer. After gaining additional weapon slots, your original weapons will appear in the upgrade rotation at their previous level. The Completionist legendary now uses the phrase "EXP orb" to be consistent with other text in the game Added extra text to clarify that "on heal" abilities trigger even when healing at full HP The final Spread Invert upgrade now says "+2 bullets to all abilities" in order to better reflect what it actually does. Previously, it stated it only applied to weapons. Updated gold bonus on stage reward screen to say "challenge reward" in order to better reflect that the gold is coming from complet…
- Available Now - 16 April 2024
Greetings star pilots! It's been a long journey, but we're finally here. Release Highlights Asteroid Launcher This new weapon fires a massive, physical projectile that deals crash damage. Master this weapon to unlock a legendary capable of adding crash damage to any weapon (and yes, bullets trigger Explosive Armor). Virus Damage A new virus damage type enables high-risk, high-reward builds. Virus weapons and passives drain your own health in exchange for massive buffs. Don't go too deep into virus upgrades until your healing can keep up. Shields Shields completely block damage, and grant bonuses while you remain untouched. Push your bullet hell skills to the limit, as careful dodging is the way to maintain your shields and maximize this build. Domain of the Revenant New enemies and bosses are waiting on the research planet of Cobalt Syntharia. The rebel army now possess advanced revenan…

- Patch Notes v0.5.3 - 1 February 2024

- Patch Notes v0.5.1 - 4 December 2023
Balance Stage 1: Laser mini-bosses will now follow the player (same as in the beta). Having them stay still just wasn't as interesting. Stage 1: Added 2 more mini-bosses. The goal is to give new players more chances at legendary loot. Newer players tended to avoid the bosses and let them time out, and were missing out on a core game mechanic by not getting the boss drops. Stage 1: Added a few more moments where you feel like you're totally going to die Stage 1: The stage boss has a new strategy: wiggle up and down slightly. This masterful counters the player's preferred strategy of standing perfectly still in the tiny gap between lasers. Codex: Increased EXP gain from 40% to 50% Unstable Encyclopedia: Reduced EXP by half, size from 500% to 400%, and damage from 250 to 200 General Updated the DPS calculation. For the statisticians reading this and wondering how DPS can be calculated mult…
- Return to Kedoshim - 17 November 2023

The Codex loadout has been added. It focuses on EXP manipulation and triggering powerful effects on level up. Unlock a new passive, a legendary, and equipment. Add more equipment to your star fighter's motherboard with an additional, unlockable PCIe slot. General Stage 2 has been reduced from 16 to 15 minutes to match Stage 1. Stage 2 now needs to be unlocked, either by clearing Stage 1 or earning enough Stage EXP to reach bonus level 5. Minibosses will now get bored and slowly walk away. The intent is to make the game easier for defensive builds and playstyles. Previously, if you don't burst down a mini…

This patch focuses on reducing grind and making some parts of the game slightly easier. Failed runs award more Crypto Gold. Increased stage bonus EXP by 20%.

Increased Dark Matter Field's starting pierce stat from 2 to 3.
- Patch Notes v0.3.1 - 16 September 2023
Balance Heavy Matter Compactor now also gives +1 pierce. This legendary was nerfed too much after the beta, so giving it a boost. Bug fixes Fixed an occasional crash that occurred once all fashion items were unlocked The text for fashion rewards is now properly centered in the reward window
