Hi, Rebels! 🫡
We hope you are enjoying the new Endless Coffee mode. As you know, the new mode is bigger and more difficult to balance than the Story mode, so we are doing small tweaks and improvements based on your feebdack! 🔨
We are launching a small patch with some balancing changes on Endless after Day 21. Also make the Luck a bit slower to increase, because it could break the game too early too easily. Besides that, some small tweaks on Beach Balls/Thunder visiblity, and trying to make Thunders not crash the game eventually ⚡
Finally, we have made another change. When we first released Astro Prospector, we wanted to give some extra challenges for those of you who wanted to play more. That's how we came up with the achievements for Speedrun and Deathless run. With the new mode released, there is plenty of game to enjoy once you complete Story mode, and as of today, the biggest complaint we are receiving for Astro Prospector is about those two achievements, so we are removing them from the game 🍃
We know some of you worked hard to get them, and hope you understand our decision. The achievements no longer existing doesn't erase the challenge you overcome, Space Rebel! So, if you managed to get the 2 achievements, you can enter our Discord server and we will give you a special Discord role reflecting your dedication 🏆

That is all for now. Thanks again for your feedback. Have a good AstroDay! ☕
