Thu, 09 Jul 2026 06:12:02 GMT

v1.15.1 — Comfort & Feedback

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 20:40:07 GMT

A small polish pass Softer screen shake — no more map edges peeking through during big impacts (player/boss deaths). Wider XP pickup range — orbs are pulled in from a bit farther, for smoother, le...

v1.14.2 — HUD fix: buff bar no longer overlaps weapons (2026-07-07)

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 17:36:35 GMT

Fix The temporary power-up bar was drawing on top of your weapon loadout on the in-game HUD. It now sits cleanly below the weapon row. No more overlap. Correctif La barre de power-up temporaire s'affi...

v1.14.1 — Nova Strike gets its icon (2026-07-07)

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 17:24:48 GMT

Polish Nova Strike now has its own icon. The third fusion was still showing a plain tinted square — it now gets a proper crafted icon: a violet-to-magenta star burst (its Stalker's Wave nova) traili...

v1.14.0 — Nova Strike & biome affinities (2026-07-07)

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 17:14:03 GMT

New Third graft fusion — Nova Strike. Fuse Stalker's Wave + Erratic Servos and your dash becomes an offensive blink : you teleport in and detonate a nova where you land (a big shockwave, ~175px, wit...

v1.13.0 — Wear your chimera (2026-07-07)

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 16:42:21 GMT

New Your body now shows what you've become. Until now, assimilating grafts only tinted your character. From this version, each graft and fusion grafts a visible part onto your body — the chimera you...

v1.12.1 — Control comfort & readability (2026-07-07)

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 16:01:37 GMT

New Dash cooldown gauge. The dash graft (Erratic Servos, or the Armored Charge fusion) now shows its recharge right on its HUD slot: the square darkens on use and the icon refills from the bottom as t...

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 15:13:18 GMT

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 11:05:05 GMT

Fixes Rusted Core HP cut from 18,000 to 12,000. The end boss (Rusted Core, ~13 min) had become effectively unkillable for an average build — its effective HP at 13 minutes in Normal was ~32,040, req...

v1.11.3 — Enemies don't ghost through you anymore (2026-07-05)

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 18:16:00 GMT

v1.11.2 — The Frost biome finally looks cold (2026-07-05)

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 13:53:06 GMT

Fixes Frozen enemies now actually turn to ice. Freeze effects used to wash enemies with a blue tint — but a tint can only ever darken a warm sprite, so orange foes just went muddy instead of frosty...

v1.11.1 — Level-up cards read clean again (2026-07-05)

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 12:33:16 GMT

Fixes No more overlap on the level-up screen. On longer upgrade descriptions — the Frost Veil , Vector Beam and Vector Lance fusions were the worst offenders — the text could creep upward and coll...

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 09:48:50 GMT

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:15:59 GMT

New Move with ZQSD out of the box. The default movement layout now matches an AZERTY keyboard natively — Z Q S D for up/left/down/right — alongside the arrow keys and full gamepad support (D-pad &...

v1.8.1 — A real cold: reworked frost mist & visibly frozen enemies

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 22:38:59 GMT

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 22:05:34 GMT

v1.7.0 — Frost Veil: freeze the swarm in place

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 21:42:06 GMT

New Frost Veil — a new defensive-control fusion. Take the Cryo Lance to level 5, pick up the Reinforced Plating passive, and the icy beam stops firing in a line. Instead it wraps around you as a per...

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 17:46:16 GMT

New Vector Ray — the first aiming-skill fusion. Take the Vector Lance to level 5, pick up the Servo-Motors passive, and the aimed bolt evolves into a continuous piercing RAY: no more cooldown, no mo...

v1.5.0 — Aimed weapon & smarter difficulty curve

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 17:16:58 GMT

New - Vector Lance — a new aimed weapon (Rare). Unlike the rest of your arsenal, it fires a piercing bolt in your movement direction instead of auto-targeting the nearest enemy. Line up your shots...
