- Patch 1.0.15 - Balancing - 20 December 2025
This patch focuses on balancing, which primarily involves one design shift: all weapons should now be equally powerful! You should be able to complete all maps and difficulties using the default weapon. Some weapons may still be better in certain situations, but in general, the differences should not be game-breaking. Before this patch, some weapons were clearly stronger than others.Additionally, there have been numerous changes to enemy spawning and enemy stats, especially on the Frostfall and Graveyard maps. These areas should now feel more challenging and fair, without overwhelming you with bullets. 💀Patchnotes 1.0.15BALANCINGreduced damage of all weapons to be approximately on par with the default weapon. Some weapons may still perform better in certain situations.enemy overhaul of map 4: most enemies have adjusted health, damage, and attack rates.Frostfall: spawn rates adjusted fo…

- Patch 0.3.1 - 14 April 2025
Slyders is designed to capture the fun and silly action of a Saturday morning cartoon, and this update enhances the vibrant colors and artistic style across the environments, enemies, and beyond. - Redesigned enemy textures, level visuals, and UI elements to align more closely with the originally envisioned cartoon style. - Items no longer need to be purchased with crystals to keep them permanently. - Forge: items no longer need to be of the same slot type to be combinable. An item can be upgraded by combining 2 other items of the same rarity. - Selling items now grants crystals instead of gold. BUGFIXES - fixed enemies sometimes not spawning anymore while overwhelmed - fixed enemies sometimes not spawning when in 'overwhelmed' state (note: there still seem to be issues with this sometimes that will be fixed in later patches) - fixed dash not hitting enemies correctly - fixed weapons st…
- Patch 0.2.1 - 4 February 2025
This build has a lot of stuff and moves Slyders closer to a releasable and polished state, which is why I increased the build number from 0.1.x to 0.2.x. The focus is on general polish in all areas, some new features, and necessary additions like settings, localization, gamepad support, etc. A lot of work also went into new maps, enemies, and content for the release version, but here in the patch notes, I will only list things that are noticeable in the demo. added Forge: items of the same type can be combined to increase their rarity reworked Upgrade screen: it is now a skill tree that can also unlock new perks localization for English, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish added Gamepad support (I could only test this with Xbox Wireless Pad, so please tell me if you have any issues with others) most features like menus, skills, weapons need to be unlo…
