• 1.2.1 - Bug Fixes - 13 September 2026

  We’ve got a quick patch to address some bugs that have surfaced since the 1.2.0 launch. Edit: There was a temporary bug causing "Buy the Universe" to be just beyond the new money limit. This has since been hotfixed.Bug FixesAdded a maximum money and popup that tells the player when this has been reached. This max is only ever reached if you continue past a true ending in either game mode.Fixed multiple UI issues in Idle Mode when playing on controller.The skill tree info panel now hides when buying cheapest in Idle, to match the functionality in Normal.Fixed the save migration from 1.1.0 to 1.2.0 that resulted in the prestige upgrades being incorrectly loaded.

• 1.2.0 - Idle Mode Overhaul! - 12 September 2026

  Hey everyone! We’ve got a massive update to the Idle Mode that fleshes out the experience and addresses the concerns that have been raised about the mode. Idle Mode now has multiple new mechanics, faster progression, and unique endings. One of the main things we wanted to address was how fast you are able to complete the mode, especially if you are playing actively. Both win conditions are now considerably faster for any playstyle but active playstyles are now rewarded greatly, resulting in completion times comparable to normal mode. Your existing Idle save will still work in this mode, but the experience is so different that we would strongly recommend wiping the save and starting fresh. Idle Mode AdditionsAdded a boss fight for the first ending.Added a reward for the boss fight that allows the player to receive shards without having to prestige.Added a unique “true ending” that conclu…
