  • Update 0.7.0 Blueprints And Carriers - 15 August 2026

    Sorry for the limited updates, I have been caught up in mandatory military service business for these few months with little time to use for developing. Even these patch notes are written in a hurry. Anyway, here is an update drop that overhauls the entire game and unlocks its true potential, saving Ships, and carrier-type weapons.Saving Ships and placing them in Carriers:-Added the ability to save and load your Ships as long as you have the required materials to do so.-Added the ability to place those ships in Carrier-type weapons to summon them in battle.-Added a ton of bugs and ways to break the game I haven't found yet.-Added the ability of me to add pictures to update announcements-The Maximum size or number of the ship(s) that can be placed in the Carriers depend on the carrier's size and type.-Summoned Ships inherit your ship's item stats.-Summoned Ships can be commanded to leave…

  • Update v0.6.0 - 23 February 2026

    2 New Weapons:1) Heavy Torpedo Launcher:A Heavy Weapon that launches a single powerful torpedo that deals massive blast damage toany Ship that has its shields down.Base Damage: 1000Explosive Damage: 3500Explosion Radius: 184Overheat Cost: 750Reload Time: 10sProjectile Speed: 20002) Heavy Laser Burst Cannon:The Heavy Weapon version of the Laser Burst Cannon, dealing massive heat damage in a singleshot after a huge 4 second charge time.Damage: 4000Overheat Cost: 1200Charge Time: 4sBeam Range: 17507 New Upgrade Items:Introduction to Ally Ships:Ally Ships provide a lot of firepower and enemy distraction for the small cost of a single item.They spawn at the start of each Stage, or when you pick up their item, and their Weapon and Hull Level is always the same as the enemies'. They will move towards their closest enemy towards the Boss and fight them. They will also pick up any Items dropped…

  • Update v0.5.6 balance changes and difficulty changes - 3 January 2026

    -Changed difficulty descriptions since the multiplier didn't faithfully portray the challenge each difficulty provides, and wrongly suggested that the player was having much difficulty at a level that was supposed to be easy. For example I, who is the developer of the game with hundreds of hours of gameplay get a challenging experience on Nightmare difficulty which had a x1.0 modifier, which suggested it was akin to normal difficulty which is false. Now, if you hover over a difficulty, it will show a tooltip with all that changes along with how much exp you earn. -Boss Health now scales with the difficulty picked and slightly increases each Stage. -Bosses now spawn further away from the Player the faster they are, so that they reach the Player at somewhat imilar timing. -Enemies now level up slightly faster -Enemies will now start shooting at the Player after they get even closer (x0.8…

  • Update v0.5.5 - 25 December 2025

    Balance changes: -Made enemy level scaling a bit slower overall. -Removed a few Guided Missiles from a few early game enemies (too many Missiles!). -changed Rush Fighter AI to not try ramming the Player, but using a more fighter-like hit and run strategy with a Cannon on the back to shoot at the Player when they chase it. I found the whole ramming and spinning the Player a bit funny at first, but in terms of actual gameplay, this Ship type with rush AI isn't fun to fight against. Bug fixes: -fixed a bug where Enemies would sometimes not properly calculate their rotation to the Player.

  • Small Update v0.5.4 - 21 December 2025

    -Added Training Difficulty.-Reworked enemy Spawn System. Less time between waves.-Slightly increased Upgrade item drop rate.-increased missile explosion sound effect radius depending on the size of the explosion.-Made enemy level ups less dependent on difficulty (previous patch).-Improved enemy AIBug Fixes:-Fixed a bug where the game would crash if you closed the Level up notifier through the x,the game would crash.-Largely fixed a bug where all sounds would stop for a few seconds due to all enemies in a wavespawning at once, by making enemies not all spawn at the same frame.-Slight performance increase due to enemy changes.-Fixed a bug where the main menu starting sound would get interrupted by other sounds.

  • Upgrade Item drop rate emergency fix - 20 December 2025

    Accidentally added too high of an item drop rate so I fixed it -reworked Upgrade item drop rate, so that a somewhat similar amount of items will drop each Stage. Further changes for balance reasons will be made in later patches.

  • Update v0.5.3 - 17 December 2025

    -Added 2 New Bosses, one for early game and one for mid game (tier 1 and 6):1)The Asteroid Eater, a fast, large Ship with massive Jaws that sprints towards the Enemy trying totrap them between its teeth. Its jaws are wide enough to ensnare most small Ships, and if itcatches you, the chances of escape are slim. If it misses its charge, it will circle around its targetshooting it with its cannons and missiles, until it finds an opportunity to charge at its target again. It uses a non rotating Heavy Shotgun Cannon to blast all victims caught between its jaws, along with 4 Heavy Cannons, 2 pointing on each side to shoot at everyone it circles around. It also posseses 2 guided missile launchers, which will produce much faster moving missiles than normal,since they will inherit the Ships fast speed.2)The Moon Eater, is a much larger Ship of the same type as the Asteroid Eater. Its jaws can tr…

  • Update v0.5.2 - 29 November 2025

    -4 new mid game enemies were added:1) The Destroyer MK1, a fast and devastating ship that will use its smart targeting Heavy Autocannonalong with a couple of Autocannons to overwhelm the player with its forward speed.2) The Y Fighter, the normal enemy variant of the Heavy Y Fighter boss. It uses 4 cannons to pokeat the player from a long distance.3)The Galliot MK1, a slow turning but heavily armed small-medium ship that boasts 2 Heavy Autocannonscovering both its front and back. Due to its slow turn speed, it will have the player at one of its sides,where both Heavy Autocannons can fire at them along with a non rotating Cannon which exists at each side.4)The Interceptor Fighter, with large sideways move speed, it will circle the player, trying to predict their movement with its Heavy Plasma Cannon, while firing 2 non rotating dual autocannons forward,as a form of area denial.-All Weapon…

  • Bug Fixes V0.5.1 - 24 November 2025

    -Fixed a bug where Nuclear explosions would sometimes produce an invisible shockwave that annihilated everything in a 5km radius (allegedly, I can't reproduce it anymore).-Fixed a bug where using simple controls would cause the Player's Ship to not decelerate properly.-Fixed a bug where different types of volumes confused each other into swapping their volume.-Fixed a bug where the Player's Ship would repaint itself into its default colors if painted with acustom color.-Fixed a bug where the Tutorial crashed the game after entering the Hangar.-Added proper sound effects to collision and Thruster damage.-Increased sound range to Missile explosions depending on how big the explosion is.-Buffed tutorial Power Burst Mode dummy's hp in order for it to not die immediately after beinghit by the Ship's increased damage.-Missile impact damage now is calculated before its explosion damage effecti…

  • Patch notes v0.5.0 - 17 November 2025

    - When retrying after a Game Over, the player's Ship will now be reset as the one they started thefirst Stage with, in instead of the default one.-Fixed a bug where enemies spawned at the wrong position, giving the illusion that no enemies were spawning.-slightly modified rocket drone weapons and added 2 cannons on the back of Star Cruisers alongwith 1 extra cannon on the back of Heavy Star Cruisers.-Added a new early game Boss that will sometimes appear instead of the Heavy Cruiser.

Short description

Gamma Burst is a Spaceship Builder top down Action Roguelike, in which you build your spaceship from scratch,and use it to beat waves of enemies along with a large Boss ship. Then you improve or rebuild your Ship using materials you find to fight bigger and more dangerous enemies.

About this game

Gamma Burst is a Spaceship Builder top down Action Roguelike, in which you build your spaceship using tiles (Hulls) on a grid and then placing Weapons and Thrusters on it to create all kinds of ships in all shapes and sizes. Using what you built, you fight waves of enemies before coming toe to toe with the Boss of the stage, which is (usually) a large sized Dreadnought that fires its large weapons at you from a long distance. Dodge its attacks and whittle down it's large Health pool in order to defeat it and proceed to the next Stage. Between each Stage, you go back to the Hangar in order to improve your Ship using the Materials, Weapons and Upgrade Items that you picked up during your expedition. You can also visit the Shop to buy or sell Weapons and trade in Scrap for Upgrade Items. The Shipbuilding is easy to do, prioritizing creativity rather than realism, so you don't have to worry about having an engineering phd to play this game. Building a large Ship will give you a lot more stats, but keeping a small Ship and upgrading its Hull and Weapons using the same amount of Materials will result in an equivalently powerful but differently played ship build.

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: $4.99
  • Highest observed: $4.99

Gamma Burst'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 $4.99, the highest is $4.99, and the first visible tracked price is $4.99. 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

Gamma Burst'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 $4.99, 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 $4.99. The latest run records $4.99 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: $4.99
  • Current list price: $4.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Gamma Burst at $4.99 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.
