Hey everyone!
I just uploaded a new patch!
2.2.3 is mostly a bug fixing and balancing patch, but it also has some new things for you!
Thanks again to Hugo from the community for a lot of feedback for this patch and the rest of the community for reporting bugs and problems.
Patch Notes
Balancing was reworked
- All ship classes have adjusted damage output values and should now be competetive! I'm still looking for feedback to adjust balancing in the future, shall there be the need for it.
- Adjusted Hyperbeam damage to wave be useful in higher waves.
- Adjusted Hunterswarm missiles to be useful in all wave counts and have high enough damage to cause chain reactions again.
- Meteoroid health was adjusted to match the new damage output.
Changes
- Coins now come at different colors representing different values. (Gold = 1, Green = 3, Purple = 10)
- Pods: Double Up now changes the appearance of your pods.
- Added a "boost" effect before starting a new wave.
- Added different sound effects for each ship class on the ship select screen.
- Added a new button for "Details" in the Upgrade Screen, now it will be finally usable on a gamepad.
- Changed how a lot of stats are displayed in the detail view (e.g. Ship Speed is now also an absolute value, not just a percentage change)
- Reworked how the Magnet powerup works, it now has a much stronger pull on tokens, but it also can "lose" grip on tokens if they leave the magnet area.
- Railgun Ship class has received an impact effect on Meteroids, making it finally possible to move Meteroids with the Railgun Ship.
- Pulse Blaster: Charge Boost is now Epic rarity
- Spreadshot Ship Class: Main weapon now acts much more like a shotgun and has a increased bullet count by default.
- Certain Graphic Options that had no effect on the Steam Deck are now not displayed anymore when playing on the Steam Deck.
Fixed Bugs
- Destroyed Freighters are now not displayed anymore after continuing a run.
- Run savegames do now properly get deleted on the Steam Deck.
- Some of the new achievements weren't properly awarded, now they work!
- And a LOT more bugs...
I hope you have fun with the new Patch!

Patch 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! RaffaPatch 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. A big thank you goes out to my sister…Beat Invaders 3.0 is here!Hey everyone! it has been quite a while – over two years already! 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…
