MILESTONE Update #14 "End of the Beginning" Released!

We're celebrating one year in Early Access with a HUGE milestone update! With this update, all content is 100% polished and where we want it. If you've been waiting to check out Exoverse, or haven't played in a while, now is the time!

Here's what's new:

WEAPON REWORKS

• Reworked the Blitzar! Its pellets now have a chance to create a small explosion, and overkills create a normal-sized explosion. Pellets no longer ricochet.
• Reworked the Pulsar! It now increases its fire rate when you hold the button down.
• Overkills now restore energy with the Blitzar.
• Headshots now restore energy with the Pulsar.
• Multikills now restore energy with the Gravitar.
• Completed the thumper's power shot, Cryoblast, along with its effects.
• Updated the shotgun's power shot. It's now called "Crowd Control", and stuns any enemy it hits for 4 seconds.
• Made slight tweaks to the shredder's power shot. It functions mostly the same, but is no longer an area effect.
• Increased the Gravitar's damage, and gave it custom rockets with custom effects.

NEW & IMPROVED

• Added a new difficulty setting - easy! This has many of the recent difficulty changes (cheaper towers, bonus stats), and normal is now more like it used to be.
• Normal now has 20% more monsters than easy.
• Added a significant amount of props and polish to the Nebula Omnis.
• Added a completed credits sequence.
• Snaar now become aggressive towards you if you damage them.
• Commandos will now destroy any nearby turrets (and their tower base!) when damaged by towers.
• Sped up xylander's walk speed by about 10%.
• Added a "Overheat!" HUD message when a turret overheats.
• Added a "Low Ammo!" HUD message when firing a shot causes you to be low on ammo.
• Renamed combos to multikills.
• Renamed power combos to powerkills.
• Killing a single enemy with a power shot now grants a powerkill (along with a small bonus).
• The tutorial now has its own difficulty setting, and no longer changes your existing setting.
• Made some changes to reduce the amount of memory used by the game.
• The shield charger is now locked by default, and unlocks once you gain a shield.
• Your kill streak graphic now has a different display when frozen.
• Added a frame around the weapon/tower icons on the UI.
• Added a frame behind your current rune.
• Updated the tooltip frame.
• Added a display about how to give weapons/towers when in the lab.
• Replaced the unanimated shopkeepers with animated ones.
• The portals now pause when the game pauses.
• Added a new popup the first time a barricade is destroyed saying it can be repaired.
• The same stinger is now used for all bosses.
• Reduced the number of enemies on the Rainforest.
• Power shots are no longer shown on weapon tooltips until they're unlocked.
• Land mines now apply the intended amount of stun.
• Raised shred duration from 4 seconds to 6.
• Raised mark duration from 8 seconds to 12.
• The crosshair now transitions more seamlessly between blue (suboptimal range) and red (optimal range).
• Improved the rendering of holograms.
• Non-fleshy things (like barricades and totems) no longer bleed when shot.
• Barricade destruction now has much better visual effects - including leaving behind oil decals.
• Increased the marked damage multiplier on all towers.
• Increased the shotgun's damage against stunned targets from +75% to +125%.
• Added various grunge decals to the Metroplex.

FIXES

• Fixed a bug causing enemies to sometimes leave the trail unintentionally on the Rainforest.
• Fixed a bug preventing towers from firing after loading a game.
• Fixed a mouseover error on the area result screen.
• Fixed some misaligned tooltips on the item screen when at non-1080p resolutions.
• Fixed a bug allowing you to block Space Jam's path.
• Fixed a small memory leak between levels.
• Fixed an issue where kamikazes and doomwalkers would still be present in the world for a short time after exploding (despite being invisible).
