Hello Hackers!
Apologies for going dark on you for longer than intended. Our team worked hard to fix the bugs you reported alongside some quality of life upgrades that needed more brainpower than expected. Either way, we are finally ready to come out of our programming cave: just in time for Steam's Bullet Fest.
Controller Support
Official controller support is here! We reworked the input system completely to allow for a smooth experience that doesn't require you to switch back and forth between the different input methods any more.
Now you can go from bullet heaven combat to the node environment and stay on your controller. This should also make for a smoother experience on the Steam Deck for those of you on the go.
Save & Return to Runs
We heard you: busy lives demand from the best of us that we leave our gaming stations and tend to more urgent tasks.
Be it a quick round started and not finished before work, or childcare needs interrupting your focus session: the game is now automatically saved at certain points and will patiently wait for you to return into the fray.
In Standard Mode, progress is saved whenever a layer exit is reached. In 20-Minute Mode, progress is saved when entering or closing the coding environment.
Adjustments
Difficulty levels in level selection are now shown by a colored bar
Enemy waves have been reworked
Daily Challenge Shop node selection has been improved
Tooltips are no longer displayed when dragging or connecting a node
Firewall increases it’s damage over time
The ‘Signal Booster’ DarkMarket upgrade and it’s achievement has been removed
Node balancing
Bug Fixes
Controls displayed in the node environment are now translated correctly
Reduced the excessive collectable spawn when using the Node Collectable Transistor upgrade with the maximum number of nodes
Restarting a run while the player was dying could cause the next run to freeze, this is now fixed
Prevented that a chip could be extracted again shortly after it had already been extracted
The OnStanding Node now displays its effect correctly
Many More Bug fixes
That's it from us for now! We hope you enjoy this update; as always, we are eager to see your run results on our Community Discord and also available there for any questions and bug reports you might have.
