Here are the patch notes for the patch 1.1.0.1 adressing balancing changes for higher levels as well as bugfixes.
Balancing:

Tier 9 enemies (Flying Cookie, Cookie Jar) do now spawn already after level 26 with a very low spawn rate. This should make the difficulty progression more steady.
Tier 9 enemy spawn rate after level 28 has been decreased slightly. This should even out the difficulty jump towards endgame.
Bugfixes:

The spawn patterns for the Banana Boss has been adjusted to prevent bananas spawning directly on the spaceship position.
The season countdown has now been fixed to display the right remaining hours, minutes and seconds.
Fixed the death counter. Your deaths should now be properly tracked in the steam statistics
We wish you a lot of fun with the new update.

New Features

Added the Transformator which can be accessed in the evolution screen. You can now spend your conversion points to craft new modules, convert existing modules into new ones or to re-roll the stats on your current module.
Conversion points are now obtained each 10 levels. This means you can now use them directly at level 10 to reshape your evolution tree. This brings reshaping the evolution tree into the early game and opens up much more possibilities for creating and adjusting your build to your current run.
Cookie Invaders now has steam achievements. A total of 34 steam achievements have been added.
New stats window added to the main menu where you can view your game statistics.
Added two new modules: Barrier Build a protecting barrier around your ship which destroys projectiles on collision. Charge Module can be dispatched multiple times.
Added 5 new spaceship parts to the spaceship design pool.
