- Co-op is here! - 17 July 2026
Co-op is here! Co-op multiplayer is playable right now in open beta. The update releases on August 13, 2026. We're closely monitoring feedback on our discord, so be sure to head over there to join the discussion.

Hey all! I know we've been a bit quiet for a while and I do apologize for that - but we've been working hard behind the scenes to get this mega update out - and the end is finally in sight! We're finishing up the update this week, and then plan to head into a short closed beta to make sure there are no major issues - and then we'll be releasing it immediately on Steam.ChangelogCooperative MultiplayerYou can now play with another player in campaign games, missions, and sandbox game modesMissions can now be flagged as supporting co-op, single-player, or bothYou can now place up to 10 start locations, and players are positioned randomly among themYou can now specify starting currencies and hp percents for multiple playersNew biomesBlockmen City (protect the citizens during enemy attacks)Goblock Slum (random surprise attacks when entering Goblock huts)Zomblock Tombs (Blockmen soldiers turn…

(new players) You can now choose to skip the tutorial and learn to play in campaign mode after installing the game and after each tutorial level The cost to remove tree blocks in campaign mode reduced from 5 gold to 1 gold (removing ground blocks still costs 5 gold) Fixed a bug where enemies wouldn't actually spawn on level 10+ even though it was indicated they would in the attack info window Fixed a bug where deleting a Banner would refund double the resources spent Fixed a bug where some mods would be crafted without a rarity, requiring you to upgrade them twice to get to beyond a common rarity Fixed a bug where the food machine block didn't use any power when built Fixed a bug where building barbed wire blocks in the same location appeared to spend additional gold Fixed a bug where steam keyboard would not automatically display when entering text with steam deck / controller in big p…
- Update notes for Jul 10, 2025 - 10 July 2025
Laser turrets now have unlimited range, but their extreme power draw causes each laser's damage to be reduced based on the total number of lasers that are shooting at the same time. Total damage will always increase with more lasers shooting, but there are greatly diminishing returns after ~10 or so. Also, their hp has been reduced from 40 to 30. Blockoid Arcanus no longer instantly loses the game when its countdown completes. It now shoots a very powerful beam of energy that automatically hits your barracks (or character), dealing massive damage. This attack also now has visual and audio effects. Thermal rifle reload time increased from 14 seconds to 20 seconds Increased the cost of the Cloaking Field mod for non-turret blocks from 1 to 3 stars Fixed a bug that prevented enemies from leveling up beyond level 10 in high-level survival games.Fixed a bug where equipment and blocks were lo…
- Update Notes for Jun 25, 2025 - 25 June 2025
Fixed a bug where all weapons, blocks, equipment, and enemies had an unintended, additional range boost. Note that this was an additional range bug on top of the previous update's range increases (which will remain). Note that some turrets had their range further increased after the bug was fixed, to retain the spirit of the previous update (mg, sniper). Also balanced the range of a few select enemies according to the adjusted turret ranges (shooters, big shooters, blast boys). Overall there should be a better balance between turrets now and provide a more distinct role for individual turrets types. Increased mortar damage to account for lower accuracy at long rangeIncreased campaign gold earned by 10%, across all game difficulty settings Added a graphics option for “Effects Level”. Players can change this to a lower setting for improved performance. Optimized particle effects and culli…
- Major Balance and Range Changes! - 20 June 2025
Major balance rework, significantly increasing the range of many turrets while generally modifying damage and some enemies to maintain balance. Overall these changes allow for much more flexible base builds, more overlapping firing arcs, easier protection of multiple ore mines, more battlefield awareness, and more of a dynamic, giant battle feel! Machine gun, holo gun, plasma gun, .50 caliber, mortar, nerve gas, and void gun turrets range significantly increased, damage reduced to compensate, giving a net increase in overall effectiveness in most scenarios. Rotary cannon turret range increased Goblock jumpers hp slightly increased Goblock jumpers increased jump range in later attack waves Goblock boomer range increased Goblock brute attack damage to blocks increased Goblock disintegrator range increasedArmored bot hp reduced Detector bot can now shine a spotlight on attacking enemies Mi…

Increased drill stack limit from 8 to 16 Fixed a bug where enemies would spawn outside caves in tutorial missions and in some other scenarios, even if targeted to spawn underground Potentially fixed a bug that could randomly happen, background networking code
- Update Notes for May 15, 2025 - 15 May 2025
Rotary cannon turret armor piercing reduced from 1 to 0 Melt gun turret time to reach max damage reduced from 8 seconds to 5 seconds Collector equipment cost reduced from 140/20 to 0/50 and collection radius increased Nuke turret damage increased from 400 to 1000, explosion radius reduced from 10 blocks to 8, and now creates a blast crater Teleporting no longer flashes the screen white when screen flashing is turned off in the options Increased the number of mod stars available in hard mode to the same as in normal mode, but enemies level up sooner now Only the first 8 drills in a stack will mine ore now Supply bot increases equipment reload speed 4x now instead of 3x, hp reduced from 600 to 200 Updated healing factor mod description to be more accurate (the mod heals a percentage of your character's missing hp, not a percentage of your character's total hp) Added code to prevent enemie…
- Update Notes for May 3, 2025 - 3 May 2025
All items on campaign planets now automatically level up to the planet's current level, without having to spend colored minerals to do so. You can still spend colored minerals to upgrade items early, to one level higher than the planet's current level. This should allow you to save more colored minerals for mod crafting, and spend less on "catching up" your campaign items via in-game upgrades. You can now upgrade a campaign planet's items to a max level of 10 once you've conquered that planet Player difficulty settings will no longer reset unless you reset the planet You now earn 1 additional colored mineral per attack when playing on hard difficulty Casual difficulty no longer has planet biome hazards. Also, multiple bosses don't start spawning until attack 40 and the ore and gold in supply drops has been increased Enemy balance has been adjusted to make normal difficulty slightly easi…

This update includes reworking global mods (choose what to unlock and upgrade + more nuanced, point based equip system), new difficulty choices, tons of balance improvements, and dozens of fixes. Let us know your thoughts! Overall Changes Survival mode has been renamed to campaign mode in order to better identify it as the game's primary mode and to reflect its overall progression goals Missions are now locked until you beat the first area on Verdentis in campaign You can now choose which global mods to craft, using specific combinations of colored minerals. Global and in-game mods are now always crafted at a common rarity (except for mods that have a single, predefined rarity). You can now upgrade mods to a higher rarity by spending colored minerals for global m…
