Price increase incoming.

Hey everyone,

sometimes, reality shifts away from a plan. And while you can just accept this and continue, in my case I want to react to these changes.

A price increase on an already released game is rather unconventional - Beat Invaders is not an Early Access game where it is much more common to increase the price of the product with added content.

And that Beat Invaders is not an Early Access title was, in hindsight, a mistake from my side.

I noticed I didn't want to leave the game in the state it was originally released. It wasn't super buggy or boring, but it just felt incomplete to me.

So - a lot of the problems have been tackled in 2.0 and I am sure I will continue to add new content to the game as the community and player base grows.

But I am at the point where the price of the game does just not represent what a buyer is getting and this puts the game in a bad spot.

I have been contacted over and over with opinions that the game is way too cheap.
That it can also be received as a low-end product because of the low-end price.

As a result of really thinking a lot about it and also talking about the topic with friends - the price of Beat Invaders will be increased.

As a player that already bought the game, nothing will change for you - of course! 😘

The price that Beat Invaders is available right now won't be that low in the close future.I just felt it would be fair to write this news before increasing the price to give everyone interested a fair chance to grab it at the current price.

Between mid and end of May, the price for Beat Invaders will be raised -
my plan, for now, is $9.99 (€7.99 / £6.99)

Thank you very much for your time and support!

Game update18 Jan 2026Patch 3.1.3Hey everyone, I read in a review that it looks like I missed a few font settings when adding the Japanese translation. In some places, text was displayed as □□□ characters. I’ve gone through the game again to fix the spots I missed, and I hope everything is now displaying correctly. Have fun! RaffaIn-game event17 Sep 2025Patch 3.1.0It’s been a while since the last patch, but a few loose ends were still waiting for some love. So here’s a small but meaningful update! This patch brings a new language option and a couple of fixes to smooth things out: · Japanese translation added! This one took a bit of extra care, with plenty of font adjustments to make sure everything looks just right.

While Beat Invaders is a finished project for me, and I continue to work on my new game, Engraving , it is still a project that I love dearly. There were a couple of bugs that bugged me (pun intended) and some things that just broke down with services that I used that were taken offline (Dailies/Weeklies). Originally, I planned t…
