Latest Steam announcements

  • Steam Cloud now enabled! - 2 June 2026

    Meta-progression (which Upgrades you've unlocked) and settings (resolution, volume) now carry over between devices!But heed these warnings:Cloud Storage works fine with the Steam Deck, but the Deck only pushes data to the cloud when you quit the game, not when you put the device to sleep.If you use two different Steam accounts on the same device, they will use the same data: same meta-progression and same settings.Mid-run progress (as opposed to meta-progression) is (still) not saved.There are solutions to (1) and (2). But those are a bit more complicated to implement, so I'll defer them until a few people ask for them on Discord/Bluesky/Forums.There are also solutions to (3) but that's a BIG lift and each run is like 5 minutes long anyways, so that's probably fine!

  • v1.1.1: The Full-screen Patch - 27 May 2026

    I never play these games full-screen but apparently YOU DO! So, here's some full-screen support; see the checkbox in Settings. Note: if you previously applied full-screen with Alt+Enter, you'll see some screen flickering (once) on your next boot, as we sync your old settings to the locally stored settings. Alt+Enter will now be ignored, since the checkbox is the preferred way to toggle it.

  • SOLARFLARE now available! - 27 May 2026

    SOLARFLARE is now available to the public! Good luck, you'll need it. Let me know which builds are completely worthless or laughably overpowered; try Discord or Community Discussion or Bluesky or carrier pigeon.I don't want to lead anyone on, so to be clear: I consider this game to be Complete with a capital C. But... do say something if you really want to see more. Every gamedev has a million ideas that don't make it into the final game, and I am no exception. But life is busy, and it's hard to justify the time unless the people ask for it.Thanks again to all playtesters, this wouldn't have happened without you.

  • v1.0 is here! - 25 May 2026

    All playtesters' feedback has been incredibly useful! But since every todo list is infinite, a time must someday come that we say "no to all of that", if we ever want to release. And we do want to release! So let's release: I declare this to be the build we'll make public on Wednesday.(Do still let me know about any bugs, though; that's that the third number in "1.0.0" is for!)Oh and by the way:New Upgrades are now highlighted until purchased for the first time.The "Play" icon pulses when paused, to reassure you that the game has not frozen.Despite my best efforts to sway the vote, I was forced to swap two enemies' death SFX by democracy. I don't make the rules!

  • v0.57.0 Patch - 24 May 2026

    Heat now has a delightful blaring siren that portends your demise; you're welcome!You can no longer play at 6x speed. We at SOLARFLARE believe 4x speed should be enough for anyone, and anyways 6x speed was making our audio guy very sad.You can now see your character in the Victory screen.You still can't choose your character though, that'd be crazy.

  • v0.56.0 Patch - 21 May 2026

  • v0.52.0 Patch - 17 May 2026

    UIYou can now change resolution, in case you're unfortunate enough to own a 4K display.Hover over Upgrades, Status Effects, and stats in the left or right sidebars to see what they do.Thanks to Xzeel and Fervir for the feedback!

  • v0.51.0 Patch - 16 May 2026

    BugfixesGrowl and Pass the Buck had broken because "nearest enemy" was broken when I was fiddling with distance measurements. Now they work!BalanceFaster metaprogression; you should now usually unlock at least one Upgrade per run.Abomination and Conduit were too spiky and fast respectively. They are now less of both. They should still be scary; they are late-game enemies, after all.UIYou can now inspect your enemies after you die. EXPERIMENT>>DIE>>REPEATThanks to Fervir for all the feedback!

Short description

SOLARFLARE is a byte-sized roguelike auto-battler in a sci-fi dystopia. Fight to unlock Upgrades, experiment to find broken builds, and obliterate the megacorp's bots.

About this game

SOLARFLARE is a byte-sized roguelike auto-battler set in a sci-fi dystopia. Fight (and probably die a bunch) to unlock Upgrades, experiment to find broken builds, and (eventually) obliterate the megacorp's bots. Defeat your varied opponents by building a robot army, sniping them from afar, rushing them down and impaling them on your spikes, or using EMP to disrupt their weapons (and also your weapon). Each Upgrade is weak in isolation, but combines explosively with other Upgrades you unlock. Choose wisely, scale wildly, and destroy your enemies in a riot of violence. As a new agent of SOLARFLARE, we solemnly promise that you will die. You will be drained by Needlers, excavated by Drillbots, and/or sniped from afar (yes, sorry, they have sniper rifles, too). Remember to review the combat log to figure out why you died! Alternatively, give up in a huff and try a different build. In this cold and indifferent galaxy, SOLARFLARE tries to be slightly warmer. We need the four of you to raid another megacorp, steal their equipment, sabotage their projects, and recruit their indentured employees. Don't worry, they started it. This is a tiny game, at a tiny price! I predict you'll have fun figuring out how the systems work, how not to die, and then how to win. You'll turn up the game speed and exult in the slaughter of your enemies for a little while. After you win the first time, it'll be pretty easy to win again. So I suggest turning up the difficulty to see just how good your build is (probably not to 10, that's a very high number). Look for a few other builds that utilize different Upgrades, and see how far you can get with those, too. When you're finished, if you really don't feel you've gotten your money's worth, you can return it! I promise not to be mad. On the other hand, if a lot of people like what they see here, I might add more. To make this more probable, let me know! Please deposit all of your hopes and dreams in Community Hub > Discussions .

Steam marketplace comparison data

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: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $4.00
  • Highest observed: $4.00

SOLARFLARE's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 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 $4.00, the highest is $4.00, and the first visible tracked price is $4.00. 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: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

SOLARFLARE's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

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 $4.00, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.00. The latest run records $4.00 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $4.00
  • Current list price: $4.00
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records SOLARFLARE at $4.00 in USD, with no active discount metadata. 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.
