- Patch 10 - Addressing Launch Needs - 5 March 2025
General First off I would like to thank everyone that has come out this last weekend to play games. I have been working on this project on and off for 5 years now and It was so awesome seeing everyone out playing. I have started to note down issues being seen such as users only playing the tutorial and AI instead of queuing up for online matches. I would like to mention to join the discord! as its the best place to keep up to date or find others for a match as the game is in a growing state. Changes Updated the client so during any server interruptions you will be brought back to the main menu. Queuing up while the server is down will let you know Added hover and hit states to buttons throughout the game to help know what is clickable Added audio to go with button clicking Main menu will now showcase the server status in the top middle including player counts, people in queue etc Update…

- Patch 0.5 - 16 January 2025
General Notes Added in a new UI when hovering over a unit to help aid the player with a bit more information. Should be more helpful to newer players still learning about all the abilities on a unit.

Fix: Fixed Ghost Games which has prevented users from playing matches after entering queue and readying up Fix: Small fix to VFX showing incorrectly for player 2
- Patch 0.4 - 11 January 2025
General Notes Updating balance on a bunch of units to help shake out the meta Introduced Ririka; a new unit into the game New ability Absorb: Killing a unit grants +1 attack New ability Piercing Strike: Attack the lowest health unit behind the crasher you are attack. Fixed a variety of bugs including getting the game back in a playable state New VFX animations for various spells and abilities Ririka Ririka has two great abilities that work really well with each other. Piercing Strike that allows you to hit a unit behind the one you are attacking for free makes trading damage super valuable. The combination of that an Absorb that grants +1 attack on kill makes Ririka a very good scaling unit for clearing the board and keeping your opponent down! Abilities Piercing Strike When attacking an enemy unit, also attack the lowest health unit behind that one without taking damage back. Absorb Ki…

- Developer Log: June 2021 - 13 June 2021
Hey Everyone! First of all I would like to apologize for not updating Steam as much. The game itself is going strong and we added some more testers to our pool in the last 6 months to help with testing of new updates and features. Instead of having multiple posts I am going to start doing one developer log per month to showcase all the fun things we have done and added into Crashers. Since there has been such a long gap here on Steam I will fill you in on the last 6 months and where we are looking at in terms of adding in more players and entering Early Access. Request Access The first stage of major testing for Crashers will take place for those that have used the new Request Access feature here on the Steam page. If you were an early adopter before this feature came out make sure to click that button. At the beginning of July 2021 we will let anyone in that has requested access and th…
