- Patch Notes 03 - 14 August 2026
Hello Comrades, We come to you from depths of development to bring you a new update. We've focused specifically on bugs and balancing that you mentioned in reviews, discord chats and youtube reviews (thanks for everything btw :) ) So, here is the list: We fixed shotgun mechanics getting stuck We made that Power ups, after some time (right now we set that to 20 seconds) will disappear instead of holding your max active count of power ups on map We brightened the power up outline color to be more visible behind objects We fixed killing effects on Coner enemy (Big bot with a shield). So now he shouldn't just stand there after being killed with Finisher or Explosion We fixed a problem with immortal enemies on the map Due to a bug, the ammo count wasn't properly carried between arenas.

- Help Us Decide: Hard Mode or Standard Mode? - 3 June 2026
Citizens,We need your help.We currently have two versions of the game available. One is significantly more challenging, while the other is more forgiving and accessible. Before we make any decisions, we want to hear directly from you.Which version feels better to play? Does the increased difficulty make the game more engaging, or does it become frustrating? You can try both versions right now by switching branches on Steam. The alternative branch is publicly available to everyone, so jump in, compare both versions, and share your thoughts. The future balance of the game may depend on your feedback, so please test both versions and let us know what you think.
