Update 0.6.1

Genome Guardian 2 · published 22 Apr 2026, 21:29 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

⚖ BALANCE

  • "Plane" Platform: Health Max +30% → +20%.

  • "Bipod" Mod:

    • Range & Accuracy +50% → +60%.

    • halted Platform Speed now returns to normal speed twice as fast.

    • now stops spinning brackets from spinning while active.

    • now stops Cerberus turrets from rotating.

    • now stops "Saucer" Platform movement.

    • now affects auto aim rotation speed.

  • "Channel" Gadget: Speed while active -30% → -100%.

  • Endless Mutations:

    • Supremacy: Exalted Microbe Health & Weight +200% → +300%.

    • Rampage: Enraged Microbe Damage +4 → +8.

    • Momentum: Microbe Speed growth rate doubled.

  • It's now less likely for Microbes that are already wicked fast to spawn "Enraged" (but the # of Enraged Microbes that appear won't change).

🔄 CHANGES

  • DATABASE / Arsenal: explosives now detonate when hitting the top of the screen.

  • SETUP Menu: added a one-time popup (that only new players will see) when starting a SHMUP Mode dive for the first time with a moving Platform (because I keep seeing players not understanding that they move vertically towards their crosshair only because they're using a Platform with Speed).

🔨 FIXES

  • "Sanguine" Guardian: various Mods that would check if you're actively firing now won't think you are if you're holding fire before the Blood Moon rises.

  • Gadget:

    • Channel: the Speed reduction while "channeling" wasn't being applied.

    • Stomp: sometimes, stomping microbes would still cause them to damage you.

  • Weapons:

    • AATT "Critter Hatcher": Zap now works as expected.

    • ACGG "Thunderbounce Emitter": trail width now matches projectile width.

    • CGGG "BFG-9000": "INFERNO!" Powerpolyp now grants Burn.

    • Trailguns: last update broke their "constantly produce explosions while stuck with Sticky" behaviour.

  • Mods:

    • Onion: consuming a Life no longer causes nanobot to shrink.

    • Accelerator: description tweaked so that, if the "Heat Buildup" stat isn't used, then it's still clear that Firerate and Velocity get increased.

  • Gamepad / Steam Deck:

    • fixed not being unable to navigate to research buttons outside of the BUFFS page.

  • BROOD Mode: the microbe DNA spawn curve was totally messed up, but now it's much smoother.

  • RESEARCH Menu / BUFFS: Core Rate & Core Delay icons were swapped.

  • Unlock conditions and RECORDS stats now properly account for Chip modifiers (won't apply retroactively).

  • some untranslated text.

  • some typos in Files.

  • some beginner tutorial bugs.
