-Daily Challenge Beta Test Is Live / Soundtrack Vinyl & CD Details-

Hello Drifters,

After much blood, sweat, and a few minor electrocutions, the Daily Challenge Update is ready for beta testing!

Switch to the BETA branch on Steam to check it out. Here are the details:

Take on a new seeded challenge each day. Here are 3 examples:

Boss Rush: Face a gauntlet of every boss. Bosses are faster and much tougher. You earn massively increased score and experience.

Serpentine Drift: Begin your journey as a Leviathan and munch orbs to increase your size. Protect your head, and don't chomp your own tail! Your only threats are cosmic hazards and yourself.

Super Nova Brothers: Begin your journey alongside a unique and powerful Ally construct. You and the Ally share a portion of damage taken.

Other modes include: 20-Point Draft, 45-Point Draft, Cosmic Egg, Purity, Turbo, Turbo Endless, and Way Of The Sword.

Also, we have more information on the Soundtrack Kickstarter Campaign:

  • We are making CDs as well as Vinyl.
  • We are pressing on BioVinyl, which is fossil-fuel-free.
  • It launches on May 20th.
  • Please sign up to be notified here when it starts!
  • Tell your drifting buddies who also might be interested! We'll need a few hundred people to pledge in order to make our goal.

Thanks for testing, and potentially supporting the soundtrack campaign as well.

Take care,

-Miles @ Pixeljam
