| Creative Mode with Hard enemies | 2026-02-10 | Hello Pilots! In this latest update, we've brought the Hard mode enemies so you can create your own planets and share them with your friends.For now, to exit a planet after defeating all the waves, press ESC and return to the main menu, but we are open to suggestions.With this new creation option, players only need to create their planets and save them, and if they wish, they can send them to the Workshop and share their creations with other players.Have fun and fly ever higher, my dear pilots! |
| Community-made lore! And pilot buffs | 2026-02-04 | Hello, Pilots! We’re bringing a big update: we now have the game’s lore written by our streamer . Here’s the full text for anyone who wants to check it out:On the forgotten edge of the galaxy, the planet Vorthex screams in silence. Your ship, the Vulcan, has just suffered an orbital attack: the fuel tank was pierced, and precious life-sustaining plasma pours out like stellar blood. Every second matters.The creatures of Vorthex, parasitic aliens known as Drainers, catch the scent of the leaking energy and swarm the planet, feeding on the fuel and making refueling impossible. Without fuel, there’s no escape. Without escape, there’s no survival. |
| Buffs in the TH0 pilot and Fire Shot | 2026-01-16 | Hello Pilots! After analyzing data from beta testers, we've made two buffs to the game.The TH0 Pilot can now reach level 40 instead of 30 before this update, promoting more possibilities for the infinite phase and finding those ideal buff rolls. This pilot was already meta when there was no level cap, and now it deserves a buff to encourage players to test it in infinite phases.In addition, the Fire shots that cause the enemy to take damage ticks every second have received a buff so that the ticks are every half second, thus increasing the player's DPS when choosing this type of primary shot. We want it to be a viable build for players and fo |
| Rankings Finally with Driver Names!!! | 2026-01-15 | In addition to pilots having their names displayed in the Global Rankings, we've made an epic upgrade to the last tier of coins. Now, excess purple coins will increase damage by 2% up to a maximum of 100% damage, making it easier to progress through Hard and Normal in endless stages. Once again, the problem will be Fuel and Health, not Damage.Thank you to all the beta testers and streamers who are in the campaign, especially the winner of the first mission, Bread! Follow him to watch his streams. |
| Ranking and Pilot Buff | 2026-01-07 | Hello Pilots! After the launch of the Beta Tester campaign with streamers on Twitch, I made some simple fixes regarding visual bugs in player 1's secondary fire, attempted to correct Steam usernames in the Ranking, and also buffed the pilot Tikin.Now, the pilot gains a shield on their ships every time they level up, and every 8 seconds they regenerate a shield up to a maximum of 3 instances, as is customary in the game with this power-up. I hope he becomes a more sought-after pilot on Hard difficulty, where this power-up is essential for ship survival.I will also refactor the pilot Funnie this week, as he is new to the game and needs his buff |
