| Balance Pass Slot Theory 1.6.3 Endless wave length re-designed Deep endless waves grew without limit. Wave 100 on Normal was 881 enemies over 8 minutes, most of it waiting. Each wave now has a spawn budget (about 60 s at wave 21, +1% a wave) and the enemy count fits inside it. To hold difficulty level, every endless wave trades HP for speed: HP down 2% a wave, speed up 0.5% a wave, compounding. Bosses ride… | 25150319 | |
| Hot Fix Slot Theory 1.6.2 Small patch, one fix. Fixed: enemy status rings disappearing mid-run Chill Shot, Marked, burn, Deadzone pin, shield, veil, near-death and corrosion rings could all vanish partway through a run and never come back. What was happening: once the board gets busy (80+ enemies) or the frame rate dips below 50 even once in a wave, we switch the rings to a cheaper shader version to ke… | 25123190 | |
| Hot Fixes Slot Theory 1.6.1 - Update Notes A small release with one real idea in it: you can now see where your partner is about to aim. Co-op shares a lane and a pool of lives, which makes failure joint but does nothing for success. A player put it better than we had: shared lives makes the failure joint but not the success, and dual spawn only removes the safe seat, neither actually makes you need the… | — | |
| Co-op for 2-4 commandersmajor Slot Theory 1.6.0 - Update Notes Co-op is here. Two, three or four commanders, one shared lane, one pool of lives, and seven maps built for nothing else. Your partner's leak is your leak. There is no polite way to say "that was your end". Also: 68 badges (up from 51), 50 titles (up from 14), and we found a 16-damage tower doing 74% of a run's total damage. That one is further down. Co-op Everyo… | 25034740 | |
| Version 1.5.4 Slot Theory 1.5.4 - Update Notes 1.5.3 raised the speed ladder to 10x and said a run plays out identically at 1x and at 10x. Two things made that not quite true. This is a hotfix for both. Enemies no longer stutter at high speed The game leans on the brakes for a beat when something big lands: a kill, an explosion, a tower surge. Enemies dilate for a fraction of a second while your towers keep… | 24866578 | |
| Version 1.5.0major A content release built around three things: a mandate menu for Skirmish Hard, a ground-up overhaul of the premium card pool, and a new common card tier that changes what a finished board drafts. On top of that: a player profile with 51 collectible badges, and a campaign that now runs breach events and the wave-20 finale. Late-game runs read very differently than they did in 1.4.7 Mandate Proto… | 24507128 | |
| Hot Fixes A performance and presentation release. Two long-standing frame hitches are gone - one of them a freeze you felt every run - the game now runs noticeably smoother at high enemy counts, and a set of interface problems are fixed, several of which only ever showed up on Android. Performance · Impact sparks no longer cripple the frame rate at high speed. Every projectile hit throws a small burst of… | 24450780 | |
| Hot Fix A focused performance patch on top of 1.4.4. The operator badge no longer redraws its portrait every frame. The animated portrait in the bottom-left corner was being drawn from scratch on every single frame - hundreds of procedural shapes each time - which made it, on its own, the most expensive thing in the entire heads-up display. It is now rendered once to an image and drawn as a single pict… | 24372870 | |
| Hot Fixes Wave-20 Finale The Breach Colossus bulwark now holds against splash damage. Blast Core splash and Overkill spill were hitting the boss's hull straight through a raised shell, letting those builds skip the break-the-shell phase entirely. Both now chip the shell first, like every other damage source - so the final duel runs longer on Blast Core and Overkill boards. Fixes · Map endpoint visuals no… | 24337154 | |
| Small Balance Pass Daily Rift · The Daily Rift now runs on Hard difficulty. The one shared challenge everyone faces each day should play like one. · The daily leaderboard now also ranks on lives remaining : a win counts first, then the wave you reached, then lives left, then time. Holding the line with more lives climbs the board. · Your lives-at-clear now show on the daily leaderboard, and the mode-select card t… | 24240331 | |
| Version 1.4.0major New: Daily Rift · One shared seeded challenge every day. Everyone gets the identical run each day - same map, same seed, same draft offers for the same picks, same events - and competes on a leaderboard that resets daily. · One attempt: win, loss, or resign, it's final for the day. An interrupted run can be resumed to finish, but there's no reroll and no restart. · Most days add a twist: a thre… | 24218228 | |
| Hotfixes & Polish ⚡ Endless mode goes the distance Deep Endless runs used to choke and could even crash the renderer once the screen filled with spectacle. We added a safety throttle on draw calls and an automatic "lite" effects mode that kicks in as waves pile up, with surge pacing tuned in real time. 👁️ Callouts you can actually read The big mid-run banners were vanishing before you could read them. WAVE N, t… | — | |
| Version 1.2.3 🎨 Meet the New Overcharger Our lead operator got a full portrait makeover. She's warmer, friendlier, and a whole lot more put-together: · New face, new attitude. Traded the perma-grumpy sultry glare for lifted brows and a soft, closed-mouth smile. Still cool, just no longer mad at you. · Designer eyewear. Slim near-black oval frames (the gold's gone), with her hair fringe draping naturally in… | 23766146 | |
| The Operators Updatemajor The biggest update since launch: a full Operator system, a ground-up rework of save & resume, a wide balance pass, and a long list of fixes straight from your reports. NEW: Operators Pick your Operator before every run. Each one brings a run-shaping passive and a unique, hand-aimed Active that replaces the generic Global Surge: · Overcharger - fire-rate frenzy window for your whole board · Cond… | 23697273 | |
| v1.0.4 Tooltip Pass & Endless Fixes A focused patch driven by your feedback: clearer tooltips on stacked upgrade cards, a couple of modifier reworks where the math was hiding the buff, and a serious fix for endless-run leaderboard scores that could silently be lost at deep waves. Balance · Afterimage no longer punishes fast-firing towers. If you fire again before the imprint triggers, the new hit is absorbed into the existing imp… | — | |
| Version 1.0.3 Fixed: leaderboard build name colors now match the end screen (MVP tower attribution preserved across save/load). · Fixed: game no longer freezes if something goes wrong during the loss sequence (defeat screen reliably appears). · Fixed: restarting a campaign run from the pause menu now correctly re-applies campaign restrictions (locked tower slots, mandate starting lives, mandate banner). | — | |
| Version 1.0.2 Added Resign to the pause menu (ends run as a loss and submits score). · Fixed Accordion enemy compression behavior (more consistent enemy movement spacing). · Fixed Compound Interest scaling so each copy starts counting from when that copy is picked. · Updated Monomania behavior: no bonus when multiple tower types are tied for most common. · Added live “current bonus” details for Hardpoint Rei… | — | |
| Premium Card Balance Pass + Leaderboard/Workshop Fixes Version 1.0.1 Improvements · Synced the upgrade-card demo lock list with DraftSystem exclusions. · Improved Workshop UX by showing the legal agreement overlay on failed uploads and hiding Publish in demo mode. · Wave-20 wins are now submitted immediately when the endscreen opens. · Steam leaderboard details now store the canonical build name. · Premium draft card presentation was cleaned up by… | — |
