- BETA update v0.9.17b - 23 September 2026
ChangelogStalemate situationsWe're finding certain builds in the game can get into a stalemate where both Winnie and the enemies are unkillable. For example, Spike/Counter builds with no offense rely on the enemies attacking, and so over time I've been adding attacks to pretty much every enemy to accommodate this... Still, it's not been the most ideal solution because this means everything becomes more homogenous. I've really wanted a way to have enemies which don't need offense and are still a threat, and been thinking about a mechanic like environmental damage in an autobattler... This is actually what first inspired the status effect Hunger, which inflicts Physical on everyone at the end of each turn. So far Hunger has mostly used in a single Virus Strain, but we do have more synergies coming for it.Testing Hunger as a stalemate solutionIn this Beta I'm trying an idea to help increas…

- The Evolution Update - 16 September 2026
New FeaturesMid-game saveNow you can exit and continue runs! Multi-block placement in combatAn issue we've been thinking a lot about is how to give players more agency.In combat, the brain dealing randomness limits the order you can play actions.The game has been designed with this in mind, but it's still not ideal, and means players need to think about how a move will resolve before placing a block. When you place a block in combat, the order of actions resolve left to right, top to bottom. New players often overlooked this, as it's extra complexity on top of learning the rest of the game. We added damage previews to ease this, but often people would just look at the previews without understanding their moves.Play the whole brain each turn!Capture actions in the order you want to activate them, and use Redraw to discard uncaptured actions.Virus Strain reworksWe'd done a full pass on Vi…
- BETA update v0.9.15bf2 - 3 September 2026
ChangelogTranslationsRussian, French, German and Polish translations are all in now.Virus Strain rebalancingFinally had a chance to audit all the current Virus Strains and give them more testing.We've now aligned strains (excluding Godly) to start with the same amount of block tiles across the starter block shapes. I found the progression to be too quick in many strains so we've also pared back the amount of block modification in the maps.In doing this I've also tried to make the block and brain shapes more interesting. A few will likely get more iteration but here's an example I think is interesting. Stunlock now has disjointed blocks which can fit together in different combinations to fill a + shaped brain. BalanceAction Upgrade changes: Removed overcomplicated movement actions which had multiple effects, connected the upgrade trees of many Actions missing pathwaysAdded some new Actio…

- BETA update v0.9.12b - 24 July 2026
ChangelogStreamlining combat and rewards reworkWith this update we've been working on an overhaul to how resources tie into rewards and the rewards you get from combat.Our big goals here are to make the game flow faster so you're spending less time in UIs and more time exploring and battling, while also making it easier to understand how resources affect rarity.Resources now affect the rarity/power of Exits instead of Combat RewardsResources collected in each depth will increase the rarity of the next Exit Event.eg. If the exit will give you a Mutation, collecting more resources will increase the rarity.This means you can see exactly how many resources you need for the next rarity tier while exploring a level. Previously it would also collect resources from enemies, but you wouldn't know ahead of time how many resources enemies would have, so couldn't plan for it.Combat rewards are now…
