  • Update notes 2024: First patch in 4 years! - 22 December 2024

    This is the first maintenance patch in four years! SphereFACE was first released in 2015, and a lot has happened since that time. We're excited to take a trip down memory lane with you. While VoxelStorm no longer exists in its present guise, its spirit lives on in Armchair Software, started by the same founder. Most of VoxelStorm's old code has been released as open source (check out https://github.com/voxelStorm-Ltd/) and modernisations of these older projects are under way. The aim is to eventually release all VoxelStorm work as open source code for the benefit of the community! The changes to sphereFACE since the last patch have been fairly minimal; as time has passed, bit-rot has set in to a small extent, so it's taken some work to get the game building and running with more modern systems. We've dropped support for 32bit linux (keeping it 64bit only), and likewise for obsolete MacO…

About this game

sphereFACE is a retro-styled 3D vector shooter, wrapped around the inside of a sphere. An unashamedly abstract shooter that ranges from slow, strategic sniping to frantic rock-dodging action, with roguelike elements of exploration, progression, discovery and permadeath. GAMEPLAY Destroy the "asteroids" in each sphere to unlock the hyperspace portals leading to other spheres, and navigate through a vast procedurally generated 3D space, homing in on the disturbance that woke you from slumber. Sophisticated inertial flight dynamics on the inner surface of a sphere are difficult to master - agility, awareness and good reflexes are essential to survive. Look freely around each sphere using mouselook, a controller, your keyboard, or even your VR headset. Roguelike single-save system featuring permadeath. Dark and twisted science fiction storyline. Arcade style top-10 high score system. Determine your own difficulty curve - progress cautiously and slowly, or charge in with guns blazing. Stray too deep into the hyperspace tunnel network and it won't be long before you meet something that shoots back... WEAPONS & POWERUPS Collect and upgrade a variety of destructive and unusual weapons, such as the spreadGUN, gaussRIFLE, guidedROCKETS, spaceMINES, flameTHROWER and singularityCANNON. Destroy "enemy" ships and catch their "powerups" to improve your weapons. That is what they are, right? Fashion armour from smashed asteroid rock, and find movement augmentation devices such as reverseTHRUSTERS to improve your maneuverability. Each weapon has its own strategy and learning curve, but the true sphereFACE master must learn to use them in concert with each other. MUSIC A full album length original score by five awesome professional musicians, featuring ambient electronica mingled with deep techno and a sprinkling of chiptune. TECHNICAL The game engine is completely custom built, which allows sphereFACE to have exactly the gameplay experience it needs with no limitations. The game is highly optimised and will run smoothly - even on that old notebook. Fully configurable controls - bind any control to any key, mouse button, gamepad button or stick, joystick axis or even…

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: Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $3.24
  • Highest observed: $3.24

sphereFACE's USD price history spans from Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 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 $3.24, the highest is $3.24, and the first visible tracked price is $3.24. 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: 1
  • Discounted days: 1 day
  • Deepest markdown: -35%
  • Latest sale window: Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026

SteamPulse has grouped rows carrying discount metadata into 1 recorded discount window, covering 1 calendar day and 1 discounted snapshot. The deepest recorded markdown is -35%, with a lowest recorded final price of $3.24 during rows named Steam sale. The latest recorded window starts Oct 6, 2026 and ends Oct 6, 2026, spanning 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking. Window boundaries follow the available snapshots, so gaps in coverage can make an actual sale shorter or longer than the recorded span.

Recorded sale names include Steam sale. The table reports the observed markdown, final price, snapshot dates, and any sale name supplied with the row. It can show whether similar discounts recur in the retained record, but it does not infer publisher intent, demand, or the reason a price changed.

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 $3.24, from Oct 6, 2026 through Oct 6, 2026. The latest run records $3.24 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking with a listed discount from $4.99. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $3.24
  • Current list price: $4.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records sphereFACE at $3.24 in USD, with a listed base price of $4.99 and a -35% markdown. 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.
