PATCH NOTES v1.2A
9/8/2026
GENERAL:
LOCALIZATION
6 new languages — German, French, Japanese, Portuguese (BR), Tagalog and Simplified Chinese — with new fonts for JP/CN and a language picker in options. The equip, stats and sell screens are translated too; item names and stat lines had been stuck in English everywhere.
ENEMIES NOW ANIMATE
Enemies had never animated before — every one was a single static image. 50 enemies now have real frame animation: fish, sea creatures, insects, worms, organics, and the Deep Forest butterfly and spider. Four bosses join them — Raven Human, Brood Mother, Moth Boss and Centipede.
CHARACTERS COME ALIVE
All 36 speaking characters now breathe while they talk, even while the game is paused behind the dialogue box.
NEW PORTRAITS
All 49 dialogue portraits redrawn, every boss, pilot and Raven.
ALLY SUPPORT STRIKES
Wingmen now fly in to help when you're in trouble — more often the closer you are to death.
GRAZE & COMBOS
Skim an enemy bullet without being hit to earn energy. Chain kills for a combo multiplier up to 3×. Damage numbers pop on every hit.
UI
Menus updated across the board — main menu, lobby, mission control and the buy/sell/equip screens.
ACCESSIBILITY
New options to turn off screen shake and the red damage flash. Both on by default.
PERFORMANCE
Improved compression on sprites.
BALANCE:
• Random power up drops reduced ~30%
this is to balance out the new graze mechanic giving the player more energy and the ally support adding additional damage and protection.
