- Tutorial Update - 16 September 2025
We've watched the let's plays, we've heard the feedback, we've watched the livestreams. Tutorials are HERE. No longer will you have to flock to the interwebs, forums, or Discord to find out what does! GhostProgrammer has ensured he has been able to address most, if not all, of the most common questions that have arisen. So the next time you load up RMR, you may just learn something new. We're hard at work on both a roadmap, as well as a BIG monster overhaul, that will replace monster upgrades, evolution, meta progression (not egg level), and then some. Stay tuned for more info. Lastly, I apologize for the large gap between updates. I lost a friend of mine recently, and it hit me in ways I could not have expected. (No desire to be at or on a computer) Ghostprogrammer and I have added a little memorial for him in our credits, and a drum kit on the home-screen island, so he may live on for…
- Post Hatchery QoL Request + Bug Fixes - 9 July 2025
Based on some of your feedback and bug finds, this patch introduces a few things for a better robot crushing experience. Bulldoze Mode No longer will you accidentally click on a tree in the middle of an insane smite frenzy. Bulldozing trees and rocks now functions differently: Click on the bulldoze icon in the top left (or keyboard shortcut B), then click and hold on a blocked tile to clear it! Gilded Bots Golden robots now have a chance of spawning every wave (increased spawn chance the longer you go without seeing them.) They're gold-plated, have increased HP, and drop a nice little gold bonus upon defeat! Sound FX bug fix The issue with some player abilities not respecting the volume slider has been fixed! Our gift for your ears
- The Hatchery Update is HERE! - 18 May 2025
Hatchery Update! It’s finally here. The Hatchery update brings a fun new way to collect and upgrade monsters to Rogue Monster Rush. This update also brings with it a bunch of new player abilities, game optimizations, QoL improvements, and more! Let’s dive in: The Hatchery and Egg Levels Spend 3 stars to purchase an egg from the Hatchery. Eggs have a progress bar that is filled passively with XP gained during your runs. Once that XP bar has been filled, your egg is ready to be hatched. Head back to the hatchery to hatch it and see what’s inside! If you hatch a monster you do not currently have in your collection, you will unlock that monster! However, if you hatch a monster that’s currently in your collection, that monster will gain an Egg level, giving you a selection of 3 potential stat upgrades to choose from. Your chosen upgrade will be permanently added to that monster. You can see…
