- v1.1.0 Major Update - Pet Expansion & QoL Improvements - 22 April 2026
Overview The focus of this update is on the new pet and general skills, which will bring new variations to most builds in the game. Additionally, this update introduces many minor changes to make the gaming experience more comfortable. Update Notes Fixes Fixed an issue where empty pet equip or fusion slots would light up after enabling the filter in some cases. Fixed an issue where the Swordmaster's Sword might lose damage when Attack Speed is high or the player teleports. Optimization Improved the performance of all damage events. Continued to improve the new performance optimization mechanism introduced in v1.0.2: it no longer triggers only when the frame rate is extremely low, but increases the trigger probability as the frame rate drops, ensuring smoother frame rate transitions. Gameplay Doubled the cost and effect of the talent Pet Drop Rate. Defender's Barrier base orbiting angula…
- v1.0.4a Fix - 29 January 2026
Fixed 2 issues appearing after today's v1.0.4 update: Fixed an issue where an afterimage would appear in the top-right corner of the arena after activating a power-up. Fixed an issue where the Supply Depot would become invalid after activating a power-up on it. (If Steam does not prompt for an update, restart Steam or verify the integrity of game files to update manually.)
- v1.0.4 Update - Ultra Performance Optimization - 29 January 2026
Intro A new round of performance optimization with significant results. Due to the significant changes, there may be some oversights. If you encounter any suspected bugs, please report them to me. Update Notes Bullet Optimization Benefiting from long-term experience patching up the project's performance, found a new optimization approach. Completely rewrote the underlying bullet collision logic: Abandoned the Unity engine's traditional collider detection, using a new detection method instead. This will significantly reduce the performance cost of bullets, improving late-game performance issues at the source. Additionally, changed collision detection frequency from fixed physics frames (0.02s) to synchronize with render frames. Therefore, at high frame rates, bullet collision precision will significantly improve, ensuring bullets never again pass through targets or fail to register hits.…
- v1.0.3 Update - Performance Optimization - 27 January 2026
Intro Since version 1.0, the increase in player power has brought higher performance pressure to the late game, especially with the Destroyer Reflex build. I have been paying close attention to related performance issues and will continue to release new performance optimization solutions. After this update, lag issues in the late game should be significantly improved. Update Notes Overview In the last version, a performance optimization mechanism was updated: When the number of projectiles on screen reaches a certain amount, newly generated projectiles of all types will be merged. However, its effectiveness was limited. The optimization was unstable, and it affected visual performance and game feel even when the game was not lagging. Therefore, in this update, it has been reworked into a series of new optimization mechanisms. This aims to significantly reduce performance costs in the la…
- v1.0.2 Update - Pet Filters & Performance Optimization - 25 January 2026
Update Notes Added Pet Filters in the Pet interface: After enabling filters, all pets in the inventory and shop matching the filter will be highlighted. Added Matching and Non-matching batch selection options in the Recycle Pets interface. Changed the gamepad hotkey for rerolling the Pet Shop to X to avoid conflict with the filter button. Performance Optimization: Now, when the number of projectiles on screen reaches a certain amount, newly generated projectiles of all types will be merged. Fixed an issue where multiple overlapping sound effects would trigger when returning to the previous menu. Community Your suggestions and feedback are quite valuable to me. Please feel free to share them via Steam or Discord. I'd love to hear from you! Geometry Arena 2 Discord
- v1.0.1 Update - Pet Shop Super Reroll - 21 January 2026
Update Notes Fixed an issue where the achievement Ultimate Fusion triggered abnormally. Fixed an issue with the Revolver's rapid fire condition check in certain situations. Adjusted the Energy threshold for the Revolver's auto-attack from 90% to 60%. Set a maximum force limit of 450 for the upgrade Wild Shot. The D-pad no longer moves the character to avoid conflicts with Multi-level controls, and can now be used for skill hotkey settings in certain situations. Removed the random pet option in the Pet Shop and converted it into a standard pet item slot like other items. Added a new option Super Reroll to the Pet Shop: If enabled, rerolls in the Pet Shop become Super Rerolls. Each Super Reroll costs 10 Stars (or 10 Free Rerolls). Pets with high Attributes are more likely to appear. Redesigned the style and layout of the Pet Shop interface. Significantly reduced the average price of items…
- v1.0.0b Fix - 16 January 2026
Fixed the issue where the Leaderboard filter interface was not working properly. (If Steam does not prompt for an update, restart Steam or verify the integrity of game files to update manually.)
- v1.0.0a Fix - 16 January 2026
Fixed an issue where completing Multi-level at a high difficulty would overwrite the Multi-level records of lower difficulties, causing them to decrease. (If Steam does not prompt for an update, restart Steam or verify the integrity of game files to update manually.)

- [Beta Branch] v1.0.0t4 Update - 14 January 2026
Update Notes Discovered an issue existing since v0.8.0: In some cases, navigating to icons in the first or last row of a scrolling list would cause the list to twitch and fail to navigate. This issue is now fixed, and scrolling list navigation should now function correctly in all situations. Adjusted layout parameters for Tooltips to prevent their width from exceeding screen bounds in certain cases. Now, when hovering over Weapon/Body Selection, Module Selection, Mastery Area, Talent entries, or Stats entries, the corresponding Tooltip will appear outside the list to avoid blocking other icons or important information. Further increased the font size of some text. Added a Credits interface to the Main Menu. Experience requirements after Mastery Level 10 no longer increase drastically, but maintain the same growth rate as before Level 10. (In short, the total experience required to go fr…
- [Beta Branch] v1.0.0t3 Update - 11 January 2026
Update Log Discovered an issue existing since v0.7.4: When completing battles quickly under status, Geo Assistant's "Auto Adjust Multi-level" function would still attempt to increase Multi-level, causing the entire automation process to get stuck. This issue is now fixed. Discovered an issue existing since v0.7.4a: When Body Size exceeds 1, the actual damage area of the Sword would be smaller than its visual area (the larger the size, the smaller the actual area). This issue is now fixed, and the Sword will have the correct damage hitbox in all situations. Fixed an issue where bullets could fly through walls in rare cases. Fixed an issue where the character could get stuck inside walls in extreme cases. Added setting option Play Audio in Background, enabled by default. Adjusted the layout of sub-interfaces in the pause menu due to the addition of a new setting option line. Expanded the…
- [Beta Branch] v1.0.0t2 Update - 10 January 2026
Update Log Fixed an issue where damage numbers displayed abnormally when damage was too high. Discovered an issue existing since v0.7.0: Loading presets could cause the effects of multiple "Extra Difficulty" options to stack, resulting in massive game parameter numbers. This issue is now fixed. Discovered an issue existing since v0.7.4: Geo Assistant's "Auto Adjust Multi-level" feature would fail when the battle lasted too long. This issue is now fixed, and Geo Assistant will lower Multi-level correctly. Discovered an issue existing since v0.8.0: Hovering the cursor over underlined rich text in the upgrade interface triggered no response. This issue is now fixed, and the tooltip will pop up correctly to display the corresponding information. Improved the details interface of the Leaderboard: Now displays Module selection information for Weapon and Body (only valid for new data after thi…
- [Beta Branch] v1.0.0t1 Update - 8 January 2026
Update Log Overview Completely reworked the Mastery Level and Module systems. Redesigned most Modules and significantly expanded the total number of Modules. Mastery Level Rework Reworked the acquisition of Mastery XP. It is no longer related to score gain. Now, destroying a Minion grants 1 Mastery XP, destroying a Boss grants 100 Mastery XP, and completing a battle grants 300 Mastery XP. Redesigned the XP curve required for each Mastery Level. Raised the maximum Mastery Level from 10 to 20. Leveling up after level 10 requires significantly more XP. Due to the rework of the XP curve and acquisition method, Mastery XP progress in previous saves will be reset to 0, but achieved Mastery Levels will be retained. Now, the requirement to unlock weapons or bodies is the sum of Mastery Levels of all weapons and bodies, instead of separate sums for weapons or bodies. Also redesigned the Mastery…
- v0.8.1 Update - Performance Optimization & Interaction Fix - 3 January 2026
Update Log Fixed an interaction issue from v0.8.0 where inputting text in interfaces such as Initial Upgrades and Loadout Saving would accidentally trigger UI navigation. Now, WSAD navigation is automatically disabled during text input. Optimized the performance of all objects when their size changes. Optimized the performance of power-up spawning. Optimized the performance of Blast wave generation and collision calculations. Optimized the performance of all enemy-related collisions. Optimized the performance of Mine destruction. Upcoming Development Plan Version 1.0 is currently under design and development. Initial testing will begin soon. Community Your suggestions and feedback are quite valuable to me.

- v0.8.0 Major Update - Controller & Resolution Support - 30 December 2025
Overview Geometry Arena 2 now supports controllers (including all UI and combat actions) and non-16:9 resolutions. Therefore, it now also runs properly on Steam Deck. (Please switch the controller layout to Standard Gamepad when playing on Steam Deck.) As this is my first time implementing controller and resolution support, it involved significant changes to the underlying code, and I lack sufficient testing devices. Therefore, it is difficult to guarantee that this adaptation is 100% perfect (issues may arise on certain devices or in specific language environments). If you encounter any suspected bugs, please report them to me! (By the way, implementing controller support took a lot of effort to learn Unity's New Input System and refactor the game's input framework. If any fellow developers are planning to make a game with Unity and intend to support controllers in the future, I highly…
- v0.7.4a Fix - 28 October 2025
Fixed an issue introduced in v0.7.4: the Swordmaster's rotating swords were incorrectly treated as the player's collider, causing enemies to collide with the player from a distance.
- v0.7.4 Update - Smarter Geo Assistant & Physics Optimizations - 26 October 2025
Overview The Geo Assistant just got smarter! Added new features that not only enhance the AFK farming experience but also provide assistance during active gameplay. Additionally, the game previously had a serious performance issue – in late-game high-level runs, the game would sometimes freeze for a second or two. After research, I discovered this was an issue caused by the Unity physics engine – when large objects (such as Bosses, artificial walls, arena walls, or the player character) extensively overlap with other objects due to teleportation, knockback, or artificial wall rotation, the physics calculation load for a single frame increases exponentially, leading to sudden freezes. Therefore, this version introduces targeted adjustments and optimizations, including a rewrite of the combat physics framework. Update Log Improved setting option Auto Select Upgrade: Upgrades that meet pre…
- v0.7.3 Update - The Not-So-Smart Geo Assistant - 8 October 2025
Update Log Added a series of assistance features named Geo Assistant. It can automatically attack, upgrade, go next level, and restart a run. However, it is not smart enough to use skills automatically, but you can enable certain modules to achieve a similar effect. You can prepare a dedicated build for it, watch it fight, and earn scores and pets. Adjusted the size and layout parameters for elements in the settings UI, and added a new column for Geo Assistant. New setting option Auto Go Battle: Automatically start the next level after a new run begins, or after each upgrade selection is complete. New setting option Auto Restart Run: Automatically restart a new run after a run ends. New setting option Auto Select Upgrade: Automatically select an upgrade upon entering the upgrade screen, prioritizing the upgrade type you have the most of. Excluding Endless, Special, Stats, and Construct…
