| Darkness Falls | 2026-10-27 | Darkness has fallen upon REVO. It is haunted with shadows from beyond. Find them all before Halloween night ends. What holiday goes better with looming dark ships and neon glows? That’s why REVO is celebrating the spooky season.What to expectThe game is the same, but it’s now sweetened with devilish treats. Can you spot them all? Even those who have finished the game will find new things to discover. But you have to catch the eerie event while it is still live, which means you only have through October 31st to witness the weirdness. (And after midnight still counts!)Unspooky optionsFor those who prefer their space without spook, the regular g |
| Edge To Edge Update | 2026-10-07 | In the same way that I like my pizza toppings, this update is edge to edge. Your beginning experience, ending experience, and battles in the middle have all been given some love. Broken and frustrating stuff has been fixed, rebalanced, and optimized. From the first level to the last, the game better appreciates that you chose to play. At least, I hope that’s the feeling you get from it going forward.One of the major design goals this update was that each time you boot up the game, your experience will start out immediately fun. Even losing a battle (not you, of course, I’m talking to the other players) should now be a little less frustrating |
| REVO 2: Love Station | 2026-04-01 | Coming soon, REVO 2: Love Station. In space, we no longer have to be alone. Have you been searching deep space for a deeper love? Make your connection with the Love Station. Scanning now for signs of love. Stars align in 2026. Wishlist today! |
| Merry & Bright Update | 2025-12-19 | Featuring weapon refinements, improved Steam Deck support, and various bug fixes, this turned out to be a surprisingly big update, but it also did take from April through December due to greatly reduced hours in development. Please don't take that as a sign of REVO being less important or updates coming to a close. There are a ton of plans to refine and possibly expand the game, as well as further bug fixes and any reasonable optimizations that can be managed.Steam Deck SupportOne of the more subtle improvements that provides a lot of potential value is the proper integration of the Steamworks API. This was already present in REVO, but it tur |
| Glitch Week Update | 2025-04-01 | This update is not huge but its timing is important as it brings an extension to a special event more people deserve to experience. It does include one very promising work-in-progress feature upgrade for those trophy hunters among you. Summary: Glitch Day is now Glitch Week! Kill count stats now save long term! Action screenshots can be taken while paused. Display support has been refined. Glitch Event Extended! Have you heard of Glitch Day? In the past, it was a fleeting, single-day event each year where things got turned a bit on their head. To help more people discover and enjoy the madness, the special day has been extended this year into |
| Panoramic Update | 2024-10-21 | Enjoy gameplay upgrades and quality of life fixes during the spooky season and beyond. The main focus this round was removing some pain points for new and experienced players alike. Hopefully, you'll have an all around more exciting and fun time! Summary: Better display support for wide and standard screens plus audio fixes. Much more engaging asteroids, drone boss, and some heavy enemies. Ultra Wide Support & Layout Fixes Removed side bars for full panoramic view and adjusted UI layouts for a consistent look across various display ratios. In the process, the support ship dashboard HUD also got a cleaner layout to avoid overlapping items. Loo |
| Something Went Bump | 2024-10-11 | While testing the Halloween event, something went terribly wrong: for some strange reason, the game would hang on the Loading screen. Fortunately, it was an easy fix and there is even now a feature that will prevent the infinite loading process in favor of just closing the game application to desktop. In the future, it would be nice to display a friendly message to players about the specific issue the game detects, but for now, this is a simple way to avoid trapping you in the game. To summarize, the game failed to load during the Spooktober event because of a missing object reference that snuck in during a recent update, and that bug is now |

| Glows, Glitches, & Gameplay Changes | 2024-08-16 | This is a big update for REVO intended to ease some difficult aspects for new players, clarify how things work, and generally polish the basic experience for everyone. Gameplay was tweaked, visual communication was enhanced, graphics slightly refined, and more. Summary: Engine and post processing upgrade. Screen glitch effect on player damage. Instant armor repair during battle. No more ship to drop conversion. Bosses drop tech and score differently. Enhanced score adjustment display. Refined level select interface.

| REVO & Soundtrack Update | 2024-06-14 | Quick Summary This is a small update for REVO to improve performance and fix a bug, plus it adds a tiny bit of new content for those who especially enjoy the soundtrack. Small performance improvements. Fixed personal best score display. Full credits now available through main menu. Edited and expanded Special Thanks section. Special new music added for credits. Official soundtrack has a new track! REVO v1.0.15.1 Details Smooth Level Clear Performance at the moment you clear a level used to experience a little speed bump, known as a lag spike, where the game would very noticeably lurch in its activity for a split second. While small, this sort |
| Gameplay Stats Test & Various Fixes | 2024-03-14 | REVO v1.0.14.1 Enjoy some fixes and an early peek at a new, much requested, feature set. Easter Calculation Easter is hard to calculate, but the Cosmic Egg event will now land accurately around the correct date according to western tradition. Dates were hardcoded for 2023, but going forward will be automatically calculated. This update is being made just in time for the next Cosmic Egg event starting March 26th this year. Gameplay Stats - New! Many requests have been made for the addition of Steam achievements within REVO. In order to accomplish this, the game first needs to have a system for tracking statistics, otherwise achievements can't |
| Rainbows, Jelly Beans, & Madness | 2024-03-08 | This season is stuffed with space rainbows, neon jelly beans, and a little quirkiness. Enjoy weeks of cosmetic overhauls, a festive Easter egg hunt, and a mind bending one-day challenge. Let's take a look at what to expect on the March event train this year. When you boot up REVO from March 12 through 17, you can enable the Lucky Stars event.

| Spooky REVO Season | 2023-10-11 | REVO seems to be haunted. In fact, the spooky vibes look like they’re going to stick around for the entire month of October. Can you find all the eerie changes? There even appears to be a ghoulish weapon available for a limited time. Enjoy the spooky season with a big helping of neon explosions. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1662790/REVO/ |
| Play the REVO Demo - Feedback Requested | 2023-07-20 | Hey, space friends! REVO just got a demo added to the store page. If you don't have a copy of the game already and want to get a taste of it for free, go check that out! I'm also looking for as much feedback as I can get on the demo experience. I want people to have fun with it and to know exactly what to expect for the full game. So please give it a try and leave me some comments wherever you like. Right here is fine. If you own the full game and want to help with demo feedback (which would be amazing!), then just let me know and I'll get you a copy another way. (Or you can create a second Steam account, but that's not really necessary.) htt |

| Recent Patches | 2023-04-03 | I thought some of you might want to know about recent updates on Friday, Saturday, and today. Some very tiny changes were made each time, mostly to correct for a mistake that blocked in game events from running properly. v1.0.10.1 simply updated the name of an event. v1.0.10.2 was an emergency workaround to force the April 1st event, Glitch Day, to be active when it was failing to activate on its own. v1.0.10.3 appears to correct the date comparison issue and restores normal event behavior. Please be sure you have the latest version in order to enjoy the complete intended experience. |
| April First Folly | 2023-03-31 | For 24-hours only, REVO will turn the game on its head for the first of April. You better be ready for anything this Saturday, but don’t take it too seriously. The joke’s on you if you enable Special Events from the Settings screen, but if you already enjoy a challenge and have a good sense of humor, you’re going to be quite amused. In fact, you might even wish for it to stay this way, but at the stroke of midnight, the nonsense will be put to rest. Livestreams & Laughs Or if you’d like to experience the game vicariously through another poor soul, consider giving one of these long time supporters of REVO a follow and a watch. They’ve expresse |
| April Ready REVO Patch | 2023-03-24 | REVO just received a small update that will affect nothing today save for a fix for a minor bug introduced into boss battles via the last update. However, it gets the game ready for April’s festivities as well as adds a notice on the title screen about upcoming events so you can know when to expect something special to happen in game. |
| Lucky Stars & Free Access | 2023-03-16 | This is no fool’s gold. REVO just introduced a new in game event. When you boot up from now until the end of March, you can enable the Lucky Stars event. You can fly a green ship, collect sparkly gold coins, and enjoy a magically delicious variation on the most powerful super weapon in the game: the Rainbow Super Beam.

Also includes some nice adjustments to the title screen menu layout as well as the About screen layout. On top of that, the About screen now includes mention of the game's soundtrack.

| Boss Rush | 2022-06-18 | REVO has been out for nearly 10 months now! It has received several updates for fixes and improvements as well as some holiday fun. This, however, is the first time a totally new game mode has been added since release. What it is Boss Rush is all about battling the biggest, toughest enemies in the game. In the main campaign, you fight through waves of enemies before you encounter any boss, but in this mode you encounter nothing but boss after boss. How it works Boss Rush is unlocked when you complete the main campaign. If you’ve already completed the main campaign in a previous version, then as soon as you boot up this new version of REVO, yo |
| Six Month Overhaul | 2022-02-16 | It’s the first update of the year! REVO is finally back into post-launch development. Over the past few weeks, several things were fixed, improved, added, and streamlined. It was in need of a six month overhaul, especially after the recent holiday update. Read on for a tour of a few fun changes or just fire it up and enjoy a more refined experience. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1662790/REVO/ Debugged Blast Waves Have you encounter an enemy blast wave during a boss battle that would expand far too quickly? It may have seemed overly difficult or plain unfair, and it was. This bug snuck in when a new feature was added in the last update, b |
