- Update v1.1.5 - Unrestricted Endless - 13 March 2026
New update! We've heard your feedback on wanting to play all levels on endless without any token limits, so we've added a mode for that now. You'll find a checkbox on endless levels 1-8 to play the unrestricted versions. We wanted to get this out sooner rather than later, so some additional balancing may still be needed. Please let us know what you think!We've also increased HP scaling again on waves 20 and above in endless. This should most notably affect level 9, so we've gone ahead and reset the leaderboard on it. Full changes below: Added Unrestricted Endless mode. Levels 1-8 can now also be played without any token limits, with separate enemy scaling and leaderboards. The endless challenge can still be completed in this mode. Increased token limit on Level 2 Endless from 1000 triangle tokens to 2500Fixed a bug that counted two of the same artifact as only one in the token limited m…
- Update v1.1.4 - Endless Balance - 10 March 2026
It's been fun to see everyone enjoying the new endless mode, and completely breaking it in various ways!

With these changes, we're also resetting all endless leaderboards. Full changes below: The enemy health multiplier now scales faster after reaching wave 30 in endlessYou can now only spawn one early wave ahead of your completed waves in endlessAccelerated waves in endless mode will now have less cooldown between individual enemy spawnsTower upgrade costs now keeps scaling up at level 5 and above.The "Earned Mastery" upgrade (reduce upgrade cost for each enemy the tower defeats) now reduces the cost by 0.25% per level (down from 0.5%)All endless leaderboards have been reset

- 50k copies sold! Future plans for Outhold - 19 December 2025
It's now been exactly one week since we launched Outhold, and the response has been beyond what we could have ever expected. We're happy to announce that we've now sold 50,000 copies of the game! As we're closing in on the holidays and the end of the year, we will be going on a break to spend time with our families. We'll still keep an eye on the balance of the game and any bugs that need to be fixed, but don't expect any bigger updates for the rest of the year. We do however have plans for future updates to the game in early 2026. While it's too early to promise anything concrete so far, we can share what we have in mind at this point.More levels and contentWhile we intended Outhold to be a short and sweet experience, it hasn't gone unnoticed that a lot of you are craving for more. We've started brainstorming on ideas to extend the regular mode further with more levels, upgrades, and e…
- Update v1.0.4 - Balance - 18 December 2025
We've just pushed a new patch, bumping the version to 1.0.4. This update focuses on improving the balance in a number of areas that we've been getting feedback about. There are two issues that we're aiming to address with this update, as we'll get into below.Unable to progress after having maxed out all available upgradesIf you don't end up landing on a good enough build, there's a chance you'll get stuck in a state where you're gated from progressing any further, because you don't have any upgrades left to spend your tokens on. While we do want there to be some strategy involved in making a build that can get you past the next hurdle, we also understand the bad feeling of having to abandon the build you've been investing into.The incremental aspect of the game is meant to be there to eventually help make you strong enough. To help with this, we've increased the max level of many of the…
- Update v1.0.3 - Bug Fixes - 16 December 2025
Version 1.0.3 is out with mostly some smaller bug fixes:Fixed an issue where upgrade tooltips wouldn't update correctly to reflect their correct token costsFixed an issue where a token limit challenge would appear to be active in a level while the requirements haven't actually been metFixed a performance issue when having the "Show Marked Enemy Stats" setting toggled onFixed a crash that happens when you go from level -> straight to main menu -> new game
- Update v1.0.2 - Endgame Balance - 15 December 2025
Another patch is out now for Outhold! We've been hearing your feedback on the endgame content being too much of a puzzle and not allowing for a large variety of builds. To help address this, we've tuned down the difficulty of this content to make it accessible to more players. Full changes below:We've reduced the difficulty across the board of the endgame content, to make it more accessible to all skill levels and allow for more variety in viable buildsThe difficulty of level 5 and 6 have been reduced to better smooth out the progression curveThe "Big Game Hunter" (Arrow Tower targets enemies with the most health) upgrade has been reworked, since its utility was questionable at best. The upgrade has been changed to add 10% critical hit chance to the Arrow Tower when damaging unharmed enemies. Added support for panning the upgrade tree with WASD and arrow keysFixed an issue where the Lea…
- Removing the Speedrunner Achievement + 20k copies sold! - 14 December 2025
Hi everyone! Quick update from us. Removing the Speedrunner achievementWe've heard your feedback on the Speedrunner achievement (complete the game in less than 2 hours) going against the spirit of incremental games. We understand that many of you would like to be able to max out the achievements in your first playthrough, and it doesn't feel good to know from the start that you won't be able to. Because of this, we've decided to remove the achievement from the game. Our goal with the achievement was to provide another challenge for those who would like to test their ability to optimize their choices in the upgrade tree in a fresh run after having completed the game already. However, since we already have leaderboards in the "Speedrun mode", there's enough of an incentive to try to beat the game as fast as possible even without the achievement. For those of you who had already completed…
- Update v1.0.1 - 13 December 2025
First of all, a big thank you to everyone who purchased and played the game on our launch yesterday, it means the world to us to see so many of you enjoying what we've made. Outhold managed to make it into the New & Trending tab on the Steam front page, and surpassed 1,000 concurrent players. This is absolutely huge! Now, there has unfortunately been a bug that has been affecting a number of you who have been transferring over the save from the demo version, resulting in progress being lost partially. We've been able to track down and fix the issue now, but we fully understand how much it sucks to have your progress erased like this. If you've run into the issue, please reach out to us at [email protected] with your save file, and we'll generate a fixed version for you that should restore your progress. The save file can be found here:Windows: %APPDATA%\\Godot\\app_userdata\\Outho…
