Game update

1.6

Qubx 2 · published 15 Sep 2026, 04:26 UTC

Bug fixes and some quality of life improvements.

Rebuilt Qubit Shop. Your current loadout and the new offers now sit in two separate rows. Plan buys and sells freely and undo anything. Nothing is charged until you press Continue, and rerolling resets your plan.
Calmer combo card. The full COMBO card now appears when a combo starts and at the 5x, 10x, 15x and 20x milestones. The rest of the time it stays compact, with a quick pulse on each match.
Smoother Run mode. The allied fleet and other background effects are much cheaper to draw, which raises frame rates, most noticeably at high resolutions. We also gave a little more visibility to the boss attacks in the final chapter, and smoothed the emergency shop.
Menu polish. Cleanups and visuals in the menus.

Older Intel Macs (roughly 2014-era, with Iris or HD Graphics) that crashed on launch now start automatically with a compatibility renderer.
Japanese and Chinese text now shows at regular weight instead of very thin.
The chapter report now shows the qubits you earned that chapter, not a number reduced by your shop spending. Runs saved before this update show "Unknown" until the next chapter.
Powerup badges no longer overflow the HUD sidebar. An unavailable powerup now shows WAIT, and its tooltip gives the real reason.
Button prompts now follow the controller you are actually using, so PlayStation prompts no longer switch to Xbox when Steam Input adds a virtual controller.
Controller button remapping in Settings works again, and Esc now cancels a remap that is waiting for a button.
Pressing Pause or Confirm while a story intro, chapter screen or shop is on screen, or fading out, no longer resumes the game underneath it.
Challenge Select tier tabs no longer run off-screen in Welsh, German and Spanish.

Boss repaints are fairer: a boss will no longer paint over a shape type that an in-flight or upcoming shape still needs, or a face a shape is docking into.
The Dual Circuit pair bonus no longer counts as an extra matched shape, so it no longer inflates your streak or shape stats. It now has its own line in the score breakdown.
