We listened to your feedback. This update addresses the most common pain points reported in reviews and brings major quality-of-life improvements to the survival loop.
Thank you for your feedback. ABOVE is what it is today because of you. More fixes and improvements on the way.
Dying no longer wipes your progress. Activated power nodes and collected diary pages now persist across deaths within the same run. A new seed-based save system ensures that:
The UFO no longer spawns the moment you respawn after dying. The world is quiet again until you press the ping — exactly like the start of the game. You finally have time to breathe, look around, and plan your next move.
Added new cover spots across the map to give players more options to hide from the UFO during chases.
Added a clarification under the Resolution dropdown: in Borderless mode, resolution always matches your desktop. This is standard Unreal Engine behavior.
