A small update that fixes the most reported co-op problem since v0.3.2. Co-op fixes No controls in co-op: After the match started (host and joiners), keyboard and mouse did not respond at all. The intro cutscene was being started twice in co-op and left the player locked when it
Hold The Line v0.3.2-alpha Controller support, Steam achievements, a brand-new leaderboard and a long list of fixes. Here is everything in this update: 🎮 Controller support is here! You can now play the whole game on a controller: menus, store, loadout, lobby, settings and, of c
🖥️ UI now correct at every resolution Fixed the menu and in-game UI shifting or overflowing on aspect ratios other than 16:9 (4:3, 5:4, 16:10, 21:9...). Edge elements now stick to their edges — money panel, counters and buttons sit exactly where they should at every ratio (inclu
🗺️ New Map: Abandoned Police Station The abandoned police station is now playable! A full second map with its own wave flow, workbench, barricades and Core defense. 🎬 New: Opening Cutscene Starting a game now plays an action-packed intro: your character fights through the horde
🎮 Gameplay R870 shotgun reworked from the ground up: Now a true zombie-game shotgun — pellets punch through the first zombie and damage the one behind it, pellet count and damage are up (one-shot kills up close, one-shot headshots from a fair distance), effective range is longer
🎮 Gameplay Death penalty reworked — health instead of money: Dying or getting revived by Second Wind no longer takes your money. Instead, you come back with 50% health . Applies to both singleplayer and co-op — you still keep your inventory. (The Second Wind perk description has

🧟 The dead don't stop. Will you? The facility has fallen. The dead are everywhere. But the core still stands... and so do you. The Hold The Line demo is OUT NOW — and it's FREE. Lock down the perimeter and hold the line against relentless waves of the undead. Every wave hits har
🧟 Gameplay & Balance Running Tanks rebalanced: No longer do all Tanks sprint — only a limited number run at once while the rest walk (mixed walking + running Tanks). (In co-op, everything still runs from Wave 20.) 🛠️ Fixes Fixed AK recoil — the first shot now lands where yo

⚖️ Balance / Gameplay Zombies now attack the Core directly once they reach it, instead of trying to path around it. Co-op difficulty ramped up: running Tanks start at Wave 10, and from Wave 20 every zombie sprints. (Single-player gets running Tanks at Wave 10.) Co-op economy reba
🐛 Fixes Fixed the "Game Over" screen wrongly appearing after a Second Wind revive in co-op. After a Second Wind in co-op, all players (including survivors) now return to spawn. Fixed zombies spawning early during the preparation phase — they now only appear once the wave starts.
