- Cloud saves, finally done - 4 April 2026
As the title says, this game finally has cloud saves! You can now sync your game progress across different devices. ːsteamhappyːWhy did it take over two months after release to add cloud saves? Is it really that hard to implement?No, actually cloud saves are super simple – took me twenty minutes to get it done. It's just that I only discovered how easy it is today; before this, I thought it would take a monumental effort to make it work. ːsteamsadːAnyway, the game is now more complete. Hope you all enjoy it!

Hi hi, friends. Finally, an update! Please forgive the delay, as I'm currently developing the next game ːsansː. Difficulty Adjustments Increased the damage of the Light God's "Big Hand" attack against units; reduced the Light God's health. Detail Enhancements Light Source Crystals now appear grey while their resources are recovering; their original color returns once resources are fully restored. Particle effects now appear at the location where a unit is destroyed by darkness. It is now easier for players to see the trait labels of units. When continuing a previous save file, the game now displays which chapter the save is in. This prevents players from forgetting their progress after a long break. Minor text improvements.

- 1.0.90 Several Improvements - 30 January 2026
Good morning, afternoon, and evening, players.I've been busy building a universal code framework for the next game these past two days. I didn't post update notes, but I actually pushed two updates quietly. Let's see what was updated!Now when players gain a Debuff (status), there is a more noticeable alert animation, making it easier to spot.In the crafting panel of the Workbench and Simple Stove, the + and - buttons can now be held down for continuous crafting.In the in-game achievement system, the recording timing for the "Longest Survival Days" and "Most Gold Collected" achievements has been changed to record on each save, instead of only upon player death (game over). This is to let players more easily track their achievement progress and challenge themselves.See you next time!

Hey hey hey, as per tradition, I must recite the following line:Here I come again (again*5).Based on feedback, some adjustments have been made to the game.Adjusted the number of pumpkins spawned each time the Pumpkin Festival begins in Endless Mode.

I've updated yet again, this time focusing mainly on sound optimization.Greatly alleviated an issue where having too many Evil Pumpkins and Pillars of Darkness in a save file would cause a huge burst of noise upon entering the scene, making your ears ring.In Endless Mode, Evil Pumpkins no longer play their sound effect twice when spawning.Endless Mode now has a unique background music (BGM) when entering the Evil Pumpkin spawning cycle.Standardized the volume of the two Gods' dialogue across all chapters.See you tomorrow~

- Important Update: Difficulty Adjustment Feature Added to the Game - 10 January 2026
Hey hey hey, everyone! Wishing you all happiness in the new year of 2026! (Though this blessing might be a bit late ːcurious_mechanicː)Over the past two weeks, I gathered feedback from some players, and many felt the difficulty was too high, suggesting a need for something like a difficulty adjustment feature.So, I couldn't sit still, gave it deep thought, and after staring at the moon for 45 hours late at night, I finally came up with a solution that could be implemented quickly while also serving as a difficulty adjustment:Add a mechanism found in many strategy games to the game: a time flow change system.Although, once I actually started developing this feature, I found it wasn't as simple as I imagined ːcurious_mechanicː.In any case, the time flow adjustment mechanism has now been basically implemented smoothly and integrated into the game, including the Demo version.At the start of…
