Added:

Since there is no standard tutorial, Red Alerts will now flash to draw your attention to them. The flashing will stop once clicked. The 'Basics' tab in the Data Center also includes this info.

Changed:

You can still click the system recharge toggle, but now you can also turn it on and off using the W key or UP arrow key (mentions this in its hover prompt).

Game update12 Sep 2026Update 0.04MAIN TURRET: Both Lancer and Driller can pierce zombies, but how Lancer crits is different now. Driller: Can pierce one zombie, hitting another behind it. Crits work as expected. The crit chance rolls per-zombie hit. Lancer: Can pierce all zombies in it's path. If the first zombie hit is a crit, all zombies in that shots path are also crits. (if not, no zombie in that shots path will crit).Game update17 Aug 2026Update 0.02How checkpoints use to work: Say you survive day 100 and 101, then you get overrun on day 102.
