• Zap Colony Demo Updated for Steam Tower Defense Fest - 9 March 2026

  Hello everyone!Zap Colony is part of Steam Tower Defense Fest, and the demo has just received a major update! The biggest change is a completely rebuilt tutorial. One of the most common issues players had with the previous version was understanding the game’s core rule: tower color must match enemy color. For example, if you want to target red enemies, you need to supply the tower with red energy.Because of that, I reworked the opening experience from the ground up:information is introduced in a clearer order,the tutorial now includes a progress checklist,and Yodel the Wise steps in whenever the player starts going off track.I hope this makes the rules easier to understand, faster to access, and with less frustration. This update also includes a number of smaller improvements and bug fixes, including:a quick restart option in the in-game menu, so you can restart a run instantly without…

• Zap Colony Demo is LIVE ⚡ - 20 February 2026

  Hey everyone!Zap Colony Demo is now live here on Steam and you can jump right in to defend your colony from the ever-growing numbers of Starclops!If you’re new here: Zap Colony is a minimalist strategy game best described as “Mini Motorways meets Tower Defense” - a mix of route planning and resource management, all happening in a randomly growing, real-time colony defense simulation (with active pause).This demo comes after a very helpful playtest period, and I’ve already implemented a lot of improvements based on your feedback, including:tutorial / onboarding improvementsUI improvementsbalance changesstreamer-friendly options (the game can now keep running, with audio, when it loses focus) What’s included in the demo?The demo currently includes:Windows version only (for now)2 playable maps and 3 unlockable Allies in Normal modeEnglish and Polish language support (more languages coming…

• Open Playtest is LIVE! - 6 February 2026

  Hey everyone! The open playtest for Zap Colony⚡ is live right now and you can jump in immediately.The playtest will run for about a week. After that I’ll be working on fixes and improvements, and then we’ll move into the public demo (in about two weeks if everything goes smoothly). Goal of the playtestThis build is already pretty polished (and it’ll get even better), so the main goal is feedback on:Does the game launch and run correctly on your setup?Are the rules clear enough?How does the onboarding / tutorial flow feel?Does the difficulty and balance feel right over a full map? Playtest limitationsPlaytest is limited to two first maps in the normal mode, only 3 allies and achievements are disabled. So this is basically a beta to the demo that is coming soon. Also:Currently supported languages: English and Polish onlyGamepad support is in progress and not fully finished yet How to subm…

• Devlog #2: Meet the Zap Colony Galactic Crowd - 2 September 2025

  Zap Colony development is progressing nicely and I've been working lately on game UI, menus and controls. I also decided that since the game progression focuses on getting high scores and climbing the galactic leaderboards, I want the top-tens to be populated with some interesting characters that will bring some life and character to the Zap Colony universe.After some doodling in Adobe Illustrator, below you can see a first batch of characters I came up with. As you can see, Zap Colony galaxy is a diverse and quirky place ;)I plan to use the characters in several ways - as unlocks you can collect, a way to personalize your profile avatar, and most importantly as your rivals on the Galactic Leaderboards you must climb to unlock next levels in the game's progression.As always, take care and thanks for your time!

• Devlog #1: Zap Colony Debut Trailer & Progress Update - 31 July 2025

  Hello everyone and welcome to my first devlog and announcement on Zap Colony⚡! Today is a big milestone! Just as Steam is rolling out the new video player, I’m releasing the first game trailer, so you can finally see the game in action. The trailer is based on early development builds, but it already gives a glimpse of what Zap Colony is all about and what minimalist style I’m striving for. Have a look and give it a Like if you enjoy what you see :) The trailer is quite representative of the current state of the game. I have the core game loop with some basic level of polish, which is very playable and enjoyable. On the development side, there is still a lot of work ahead to implement all of the planned progression features, such as more diverse maps, gameplay modifiers, different modes, leaderboards and achievements. What is also not shown in the trailer is the resource selection which…
