- V1.4.7 QOL PATCH - 16 November 2024
Commanders, We've released a new patch to fix up some unbalanced aspects of the game, make the game a bit more fast paced, and scattered some extra eye candy across the board to make your game experience better! Here's a list of all the changes below: v1.4.7 PATCH NOTES ==VISUAL IMPROVEMENTS== Upgraded the visuals of Auroris. (Should now be a ton more trees floating around and frozen lakes to make the battlefield extra icy) ==NEW ENEMIES== Enfreezinator -> An ancient shard ice of ice capable of freezing defenders outright with powerful blasts of magic. Appears on some levels after 3-6! ==BALANCE CHANGES== ==ENEMIES== Deathgripper -> HP increased from 9000 to 9900 Explosion radius increased from 0 to 8 We're seeing the Deathgripper be a bit too weak and unthreatening especially with its weaknesses to crowd control, so we're bumping up its tankiness and reducing its ability to be stalled.…
- V1.4.6 QOL PATCH - 16 July 2024
Hi everyone, Just a small patch that fixes a few bugs + patch ups to a bunch of towers + defenders. BUG FIXES The Mrithus bossfight can now be completed properly Missile Launcher Level 4 bullets no longer stun the enemy for 1 second. IMPROVEMENTS A lot of towers, defenders, and enemies have more sounds. BALANCING MRITHUS BOSS FIGHT Void Obelisks can no longer be affected by Symmetria Crystal (Developer's notes: This is to prevent the infamous Symmetria Crystal cheese where the player would take off 15% of a Void Obelisk's HP bar by using the tower.) OVERLORD BOSS FIGHT Underlord's speed overclock now takes priority over slows (Developer's notes: Slows are a bit too broken at dealing with Underlords, so this should hopefully make other strategies be considered.) TOWERS Symmetria Crystal -> Energy cost increased from 2/4/6/8 to 8 flat Fire rate decreased from 1.16 to 1.12 (Developer's not…
- V1.4.5 - ENTER THE EXECUTIONER - 12 July 2024
Enter a new defender, the Executioner. + A lot more fixes + QOL changes to improve your gameplay experience We haven't quit, v1.5 is in the works :) - Anthony Hyperreal Games NEW DEFENDER Unlock the new defender, Executioner via the QUESTS panel! Deals heavy damage close up, causing targets to bleed health and have reduced healing. Attacks EXECUTE low health enemies, killing them instantly! MAJOR CHANGES Towers no longer instantly deactivate when out of energy. You will now get a warning message, and only after will they shut down. Towers will no longer generate heat in Auroris if they are out of energy (Having an energy warning) Towers will freeze significantly faster when "OUT OF ENERGY" Added tooltips to many sections of the game BUG FIXES Cores will now properly generate money and energy Burn debuff now properly deals damage. BALANCE CHANGES: SYSTEMS: Burn -> Damage increased from 2…
- V1.4.4 QOL UPDATE - 14 March 2024
Hi everyone, Just a small patch tying up loose ends of v1.4. v1.5 is in the works, thanks everyone for your patience! - Anthony Hyperreal Games VISUAL CHANGES: - Changed the Icon of the game while its running (Farewell to the 2021 Logo!) - Changed the position of the Start Level button GAMEPLAY CHANGES: - Voidlords can now spawn in Endless Mode In Endless Mode, reduced enemy scaling p/wave between Waves 50-75: - Enemy Health p/round decreased from 8% p/wave to 6% p/wave (Developer's notes: Now that the enemies in Endless Mode are stronger, we're going to slightly reduce the enemy stat scaling of earlier endless mode waves) - Increased the speed limit cap for enemies in Endless Mode BUGFIXES: - The spell button should no longer be visible before starting a level - Hovering over the World Select Buttons should now properly cause them to glow - The world images in World Select should no lo…
- V1.4.3 Bugfix Patch - 24 January 2024
v1.4.3 Bugfix Patch Here's a few essential bugfixes that'll fix some broken parts of the game! As usual... let us know if there are any bugs (You can contact us via the Steam community, YouTube, or via e-mail) Bugfixes: Missile Launcher should now be selectable in-game and placeable. Mrithus should no longer be targetable when void obelisks are alive. (Towers would lock on Mrithus instead of destroying the Void Obelisk, making the game unfairly harder) Balance Changes: Cube Beamer Range increased from 30/33/36/40 to 30/35/40/45 (Developer's notes: Cube Beamer could use some extra range, considering it's got no way to hold enemies in place and is single target.) Symmetria Sword Fire rate increased from 0.9 to 0.94 (Developer's notes: Symmetria Sword would be in a much better spot now that it can affect more enemies with its debuff.) Empyrean Cooldown increased from 16 to 17 seconds (Deve…

- V1.4.1 Quality of Life Patch - 15 January 2024
Here's a small update to fix a bunch of bugs that slipped through v1.4, and a few balance changes to make the game more challenge on easier difficulties! Changelogs: VISUAL CHANGES: - All towers in tower select now on one page. BUGFIXES: - Fixed a bug with Monolith's UI in Tower Select - Final Wave should no longer appear incorrectly in Level 1-4 - Cube Corp should no longer have money/energy gen FX when not generating money/energy. - Mrithus's theme should no longer be 'drowned out' by sound effects. - Monolith now properly applies death effects upon dying BALANCE CHANGES: - Made it slightly harder to generate money and energy passively, especially in earlier levels. Voidburn Debuff -> Damage increased to 45-60 + 8% current health true damage p/second (from 15-30 + 8% current health true damage p/second) (Developer's notes: Voidburn is still currently ignorable and remains a "free atta…
- V1.4 UPDATE RELEASE - 14 January 2024
Welcome to Update 1.4 It's been almost a year since we've first released Cubelander. Felt like yesterday when we were making our menu music work, and enemies to move properly! We've reworked the Mrithus and Overlord bossfights to involve a lot more void... and less lag. We've cooked up a new track to add to our OST as well and a new addition to your arsenal... In the meantime, enjoy the game! - Anthony Wu Hyperreal Games NEW DEFENDER -> Monolith - Extremely tough defender that violently explodes when killed - Unlock by reaching Commander Level 90 in the QUESTS panel - (TIP to farm XP: Playing levels and beating them on Invictus Mode grants HUGE bonuses of XP) NEW ENEMY -> Voidlord - Watch out for its deadly laser attack! - Appears in the Geometric Void and summoned by Mrithus - Extremely tough defender that takes many hits to bring down! - Nigh-unstoppable when empowered by Void Obelisk…
- V1.3.1 QUALITY OF LIFE PATCH - 3 November 2023
Hey everyone, we've released V1.3.1, a small QOL patch that makes some polishes to the content of V1.3. We've also updated the splash screen when you first open Cubelander! Have fun! - Hyperreal Games Changelogs Changes -> - Tower levels renamed to TIERS. - Improvement to in-game UI - Updated Hyperreal Games Splash-screen - Bosses are now able to take up to 4999 damage p/hit (from 999) Bugfixes -> Damage numbers are no longer spawned for negative damage Laser sounds should not play during the pause menu Balance Changes Towers Frostfire Laser -> Energy Cost increased from 8/11/14/17 to 10/14/18/22 (Developer's notes: The frostfire laser has been at a very strong state, after the v1.2.2 buffs. While the v1.3 nerfs have been doing well to put it in check, we're going to increase the risk of using the tower by increasing its energy cost - so it's not as versatile in low energy setups.) Corr…

Hello everyone, welcome to UPDATE V1.2.

They're REWORKED now and are actually useful. They will automatically spawn defenders over time, with higher levels spawning stronger defenders. You can pick which defenders are to be spawned, and you can upgrade your cores in-game to buff their toughness, resource spawn rate, and defender spawns! REDID ENEMY TEXTURES All of the enemies and defenders have gotten a clean new look that is more sci-fi, more Cu…

- V1.1.1 QOL UPDATE - 2 January 2023
Hey everyone, this is a smaller patch to fix a bunch of bugs that slipped through V1.1, and to improve already existing elements of gameplay. Summary of changes: We added an additional tutorial that can be accessed in Level Select to teach new players the basics of the game. This will be expanded in future updates to teach the player about more advanced mechanics as well. Endless mode has been reworked to add in more enemies met in the campaign, and will scale faster. It will now only be available after beating ETHORIA on any difficulty. Some bosses have had their health pools increased. This was to avoid triggering DR (damage reduction), a mechanic to prevent the player from killing bosses too quickly. (The time taken and damage dealt to kill a boss should still be the same, and hence the bosses should be around the same as before) Bugfixes regarding gameplay and tower mechanics, which…
