- Heads up: Cosmic Ray will soon be free! - 8 May 2025
Hey there, in an effort to find more players for some of my older games, I've decided to make Cosmic Ray free! As per Valve policy, I'm providing one month's notice before the making the change. You can expect the change in early June.
- Artifact Update now live! - 7 June 2020
The Artifact Update is now live! Artifact Buffs The biggest change is the addition of an artifact select screen at the start of each round. Selecting an alien artifact will grant a buff, like adding extra time, increasing firing rate, etc. This also includes newly revamped artifact icons, as seen above. Visual Improvements Added trails for asteroids Orbit lines are now dashed instead of solid Improved ship part, artifact and blueprint pickup effect (leave particle system) Revamped explosive mines, explosion particles Revamped Earthling Profile Pics 'Nuff said! Late Game Enemy Behaviours Late game enemy ships now drop explosive mines. Bug Fixes Fix for enemies not taking damage from asteroids Fix for player able to move before mission started
- Artifact update coming soon! - 3 May 2020
Coming soon: the Cosmic Ray Artifact update! This update will add an artifact selection screen at the start of each round. Selecting an alien artifact will grant a buff, like adding extra time, increasing firing rate, etc. The update will also include newly revamped artifact images as well as several visual improvements, like asteroid trails and dashed orbit lines. Stay tuned! I'll be uploading a build to the preview branch in the next week or so.
- Introducing: Super Rocket Ride! - 21 December 2019
I'm pleased to announce my latest game, Super Rocket Ride! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33020503%2Fe21ef2a2663609cb12948c92a7f49206d6e21789.png It can best be described as a cross between old school lander games and classic platformers of the SNES era: a simple control scheme, lush pixel art, and unforgiving levels fraught with obstacles and hazards. Super Rocket Ride is being developed in collaboration with Unruly Games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYiYXqGusUs Features 🚀 24 hand-crafted levels (with more on the way) 🚀 Analog controls 🚀 Over-the-top physics-based deaths 🚀 Contemporary atmospheric soundtrack featuring music from Snug, JFS and Ogotu The game will be hitting Steam in the next few months. If you're interested in checking it out ahead of that, we're running early access on Itch for the next little while. We're also offering advance…

If this sounds like something that may be of interest to you can pre-register here, or stop by the Discord to register for the upcoming closed beta. P.S. iPhone/iPad users, fear not! If the Android release goes well, an iOS version is not far behind.
- Build 21 - 29 May 2019
Build 21 is now live and includes the following: delay activation of space blobs fix for space blobs getting offset over time add some random asteroids in the middle of the galaxy reduce intensity of terraform success SFX reduce volume of transmission SFX
- Build 20 - 27 April 2019
Build 20 is now live and includes the following: New enemy type! Insanely creative working name: "space blob". These guys build up energy as you shoot them, which charges up their deflection attack. Eventually they totally discharge and "rest" for a while. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33226792%2F4b12388668e642acd2dc73d32b3315efd4bee17f.png https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33226792%2F691470bc5c8982c1ea99e553ebca51bb32828f64.gif Other changes Enemy ship fire patterns: rather than firing continuously, there are now gaps. This makes evasion a little bit easier/predictable. New main laser SFX: less "piercing" sound, with some variations (you can still toggle between other SFX using up/down on keyboard or D-pad, but there is no variation in these). Fire rate limit: previously it was possible to spam the fire button (i.e. usin…

- Build 16 - 28 November 2018
Hi everyone, I'm happy to announce the first official patch for Cosmic Ray! This build adds several bug fixes and improvements: fix for hidden mouse cursor interacting with menus when using gamepad fix for SFX playing on interaction with disabled buttons fix to only center mouse cursor if using gamepad (otherwise, use mouse position) fix for some physics updates bound to framerate improve mouse/gamepad button interaction (it should no longer be possible to get into a state where NO button is selected) hide mouse cursor on D-pad input pulse hull integrity on health pickup
- Hello worlds - 20 July 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33020503%2F63b65772ed85eb9b83c28eb9abdb5db8246cd245.png Hey guys, Adam from Cosmocat here. I'm excited to announce our newest game: Cosmic Ray! Cosmic Ray is a game about exploring space in search of hospitable planets for colonization. It's pretty easy to pick up--dare I say casual--and features fairly short rounds, so we think it's a good option for killing a few minutes. Despite the simplicity we try to keep things challenging and interesting with permadeath, randomized galaxies, ship upgrades and alien artifacts to be found with each run. We're hoping to launch next month. In the meantime, feel free to follow along with the progress on our devlog. Last but not least, we have a Discord! Stop in and say hello, learn more about our previous games, and our upcoming closed beta for Cosmic Ray. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.ne…
