- Early Access Release 8.1: Workshop Menu & Input Improvements, Bug Fixes - 11 June 2026
WORKSHOP MENUAdded a log that tells the player what's happening (downloading items, when an error occurs etc.)Workshop Menu loads much more quickly (it now tries to retrieve the level's preview image from your local files before trying to retrieve it from Steam) Failing to connect to Steam or being subscribed to empty workshop items no longer make the Workshop Menu not interactable (previously when this happened the circle wouldn't stop spinning)INPUTSeparated Zoom and Far Look into separate binds again: Default Far Look binds: Shift and Left Trigger Default Zoom binds: Control and Left Stick Press Using an analogue input bind for either Zoom or Far Look adds an extra layer of control Far Look and Zoom can be bound to the same input (how it worked in the previous build)Fixed binds being changed during gameplay not kicking in (had to return to the main menu then start the level again for…

- Early Access Release 7.3: New Challenge Levels, New Assets, Bug Fixes - 19 April 2026
Two New Challenge Levels:You can find these in the "challenges" tab when picking a level (unlike the main levels which are in the "campaign" tab)Obstacle Course Challenge: navigate through the traps to get to the endReflect Challenge: use your baseball bat to hit bullets back at the enemiesNew Assets:New furniture and walls for the crate day, tinny house and crystal palace levelsBug Fixes:Fixed various levels that had missing furniture after deleting redundant light furniture in the previous updateFixed issues with running into the hinge end of a door: previously when running into the hinge end it could cause a small gap that enemies could see you through and bullets could go through
- Early Access Release 7.2: Melee and Door Improvements, Level Editor Changes - 4 April 2026
Melee and Door Improvements:Changed how meleeing an enemy through a door works: previously this would just kill the enemy, now doing this stuns and knocks back the enemy and also slams the door openImproved the z-axis layering of doors to prevent the player and enemies from layering above or below the door incorrectlyHitting a door with melee or a bullet now has a sound effectFixed knife swings sometimes missing when trying to hit something very closeFixed bat swings sometimes missing near the end of the bat at the apex of the bat's swingLevel Editor Changes:In the Level Editor, Error Furniture (the red furniture that indicates an invalid furniture item in a level) now shows the name and other info related to the invalid furnitureIn the Level Editor you can now modify the light of the various light emitting furniture (torches, candles, spotlights etc.). You can change the size, shape, c…
- Early Access Release 7.1: Improved How Guns Work With Doors, Bug Fixes - 20 March 2026
Improving how guns work with doors:If you walk up to a wall while holding a gun, the Player holds the gun sideways to prevent it from clipping inside the wall (you've probably seen this kind of feature in First Person Shooters before).Previously this also applied to doors, but not anymore. Now your gun can clip with a door, and you can shoot to apply force to the door and slam it open.I made this change because I noticed during playtesting people would rush into a room and start blasting without noticing their gun pointing to the side. I think this change feels much more natural.Bug Fixes:Fixed being able to shoot an Enemy behind a door when the Enemy is very close to that door, due to an issue with the collision detection logicFixed Enemy and Player hitboxes sometimes sticking out past a door if standing in just the right spot (separate issue to the bug above that could also allow you…
- Early Access Release 7: Level Pack Update - 13 March 2026
Three New Levels:Crystal Palace: It's re-up day at the palaces, so the boys are having friends over. A difficult level with large stages, new furniture assets, many enemies and lots of gun focused combat. Crate Day: The boys are partaking in a sacred yearly ritual. This is now the first level in the game, it features no guns: serving as a softer intro to the game than the Tinny House. New Tinny House: I wasn't happy with the old Tinny House, so I redesigned it from the ground up. Makes use of new furniture assets to be more on theme with the name of the level.New Assets and Asset Changes:Entirely new furniture set for Crystal Palace: designed to fit with/extend the Tinny House furnitureAdded new furniture to the Tinny House set (as seen in the final stage of the new Tinny House)Adjusted some existing floor tiles, and created some new floor tilesAdjusted sprites for furniture from variou…
- Early Access Release 6.3: Bullet Shield Character Rework - 21 January 2026
Bullet Shield Character Rework:Changed how the power works: hold r-click to summon the shield, draining mana over timeCreated unique sprites and animations for the characterReplaced the old shield sprite with a particle based wall of fire appearance (with lighting and SFX) Other: Fixed being unable to use a power even if you have enough mana, due to floating point precision errorsReduced Lightning Power's cost to 60% (used to cost 100% of the mana bar)Added some notches to the mana bar
- Early Access Release 6.2: Improvements & Bug Fixes - 1 January 2026
Improved reflecting bullets with melee weapons:Reflected Enemy bullets change their sprite to the player's bullet (yellow) instead of staying redCan now reflect the same bullet multiple times, reflecting it resets its lifespan. The bullets spawned by the bullet shooter traps in the Lab level are slow enough to try this outCan no longer reflect explosionsRemoved Attack Queueing (Hidden Mechanic):The game used to have a hidden mechanic where if more than 3 enemies were attacking you simultaneously, extra enemies would "take turns" being the 4th enemy to attack you. Removed it because it rarely actually kicked in, was never really necessary or good for gameplay, and occasionally caused bugs. Bug Fixes: Fixed not being able to shoot Enemies that are very close to a wall, door or explosive barrel (the wall/door/barrel would take the bullet even though the Enemy was in front of it)Fixed melee…

Stage/Level Complete UI Change: Updated the UI that shows when you win a stage. I got rid of the old TV screen on a rope, and replaced it with a fancy hole in the screen. Not entirely happy with it yet but it it looks pretty neat, beat a level and check it out!Bug Fixes & Improvements: Improved Bullet collision detection. Collisions should match the visual position of the bullet more closely than they used toEnemies start backing away from you quicker when you're very close to them, increased the radius that triggers this behaviour slightlyFixed bullets flying over an Enemy when firing your gun while very close to that EnemyFixed bullets going through walls when standing very close to a wallFixed Mana Orbs spawning on the other side of walls when killing an Enemy close to a wallFixed a bug when using Controller: an issue where proceeding to the next stage in a level, the Camera position…
